Reasons to Be Happy

In light of Katrina Kittle's book Reasons to Be Happy, I've decided to keep a list myself. I already started one for a class project a while ago, and I was up to about 101 reasons within a day or two. Then again, that kind of comes with the territory of being a wide-eyed optimist. ; ) Of course, when I get my project back (I'm at school and it's at home) get ready for a whole bunch at once!

I'm going to try to add more each day, but here are the first few:
