60 Things to Be Happy About Today

May 9, 2022      Tami R      16 Comments

Hi friends! 💜

It’s no secret that I’ve been struggling off and on a lot over the past year. I’ve talked about it multiple times here on this blog and on Instagram.

I already struggle with anxiety, which can lead to bouts of depression. And on top of that, I’ve been having physical health problems which have been slowly getting worse, and that’s been giving me panic attacks.

I’ve been a mess.

But when times are hard, it’s always helpful to think about the things in life that can bring us happiness – whether those things are big or small.

I’ve been trying to focus on those things lately and I decided to write down the things that have been making me happy lately.

So if you’re in need of some cheering up or you need help looking on the bright side, here are 60 things to be happy about today!

    I love your list! I have days when a list like this can go a long way to helping boost my mood. When I was younger, I used to have days when I couldn’t get out of bed. Thankfully, it has been decades since that has happened, I think that’s a benefit of getting older that nobody ever talks about.

    I love these ideas. Being a chronically Ill all the time is rough mentally as well as physically. I’ve had fibromyalgia since 2014 and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis since 2016. I live in constant pain daily. Plus, struggle with depression and anxiety. I’ve found that staying on top of my mental health is super important.
