Five small reasons to be happy each morning add up to a year of sunny vibes and all-encompassing good cheer. What better gift than a positive start to every day? A cat sitting in the window. Wearing well-worn jeans. Pancakes made from scratch. A colorful sunrise. Freshly painted shutters. These are the little objects, acts, and junctures in life whose humble pleasures are often overlooked. It’s like a warm and fuzzy sweater for the spirit, every day.
