C'mon, Get Happy

--> Every day on social media all I seem to read about are things people are encountering that makes them angry. Its such a relief when I read someone posting something about LIKING something, or having a good day. I decided I wanted to join in. I wanted to write a list of 100 things that make me happy. You should too! Here we go:

-->

Having a great conversation about movies, music or comics
Being deep into a book, that I don’t want to put it down
