A List of Cheerfulness: 20 Things That Make Me Smile
A smile is priceless and free!
A positive attitude can be hard to find, but it’s vital to your mental health and well-being. When you go about your day with a smile on your face, you’re signaling to yourself and the people around you that you’re happy, regardless of what challenges life brings you.
Everybody wants to be happy in life. Sometimes it can be hard to know what makes you smile. While some things can bring happiness to your life instantly (a nice cool glass of orange juice on a hot summer’s day).
Other things might make you smile when you look back years later (the smell of your children as they’re sleeping). Regardless of whether it’s an instant or long-term effect.
Meanwhile, It’s easy to get down in the dumps sometimes, especially with our daily work and home lives. But no matter how stressful things may be, there are always little things that help put a smile on my face and brighten my day.
While there are plenty of things that make me smile, these are my top 20. You may not relate to all of them or even like them, but hopefully, one or two will resonate with you.
