What makes you happy?
14,000 Things to Be Happy About by Barbara Ann Kipfer is a book that makes you remember the little things in life that make you happy. The author recorded one line phrases of things that made them happy for 20 years. This book is just a list collection of the 14,000 things. There is no order to the list.

These are some items in the book I starred as well as a few of my own:
- Doing your own thing
- Lying on your back in a snowy field; making an angel by moving your arms in arcs
- The first week of school
- Working on a project
- Horse show ribbons on the wall
- Running down a beach
- Falling in love again
- Reading all the books you never had time for
- Farm fresh food
- Getting your hair washed
- The first day of spring
- Getting a gift
- Spending the morning in bed, watching old movies
- The wonder of life
I love the idea of writing down things that make you happy. The book is the author's personal list, but the items might help you remember happy moments in your life. Whether you keep a notebook or a journal on the computer, just jotting down a phrase or couple words of something that makes you happy each day will make you remember those little moments that are worth remembering and practice gratitude. You can also look through the pages on bad days and use it as a journal to record your memories.
I encourage you to write your own list or daily journal of things that make you happy. Let me know what makes you happy in the comments.
