8 Things That Made Me Happy This Month

I have recently found myself in a weird mental funk where I find it hard some mornings to get out of bed. When these days occur, I force myself to find something during the day to do and look forward to, something to make me happy. Of course there are days where there isn't a whole lot for me to look forward to, so I simply find something that makes me happy and I go where that feeling takes me.

When I realized that this was helping me, even if only a little bit, I decided that at the end of the month I wanted to make a list of all the things that made me happy even for a moment, a day, or the whole week. These joyful things are what help me get out of bed in the morning during a rough week, or just something exciting to look forward to.

Below is my list of things that made me happy this month!

1. My cousin got engaged!

2. Seeing my brother who is away at school while he is home for the holiday.

3. Getting together with my family.

4. The leaves changing colors.

5. My new bedroom slowly but surely coming together.

6. My friend coming home from school and getting to see her.

7. Went thrift shopping and found some amazing things.

8. The idea that Christmas is quickly approaching.

What made you happy, excited, joyful, appreciative this month?
