Eliana, I do believe you have to "work" at happiness. I am actively telling myself that it's my choice whether or not I'm going to make today a good day. I remind myself to smile and be active and I try to make the most of everyday.
Things that make me happy:
*My boyfriend, he's so good to me and after a sting or crappy men in my life, I'm so thankful that I've found such a good man
*My dog, he can be naughty but he's a great little pup
*My kitten, also naughty, but I love watching my dog and kitten romp around, they're in love!
*A good book
*Laughing
*A peaceful walk
*Blooming trees and flowers
*A nap on a rainy day
There really is a lot to be happy for
