30 Things That Make Me Happy

Heyo!

I've not been having the happiest time at the moment, I have so much going on that's slowly yet surely starting to bog me down a bit. I am so lucky to have great people in my life, and they have been really amazing at helping me through everything and giving me perspectives and insights to problems. 

This was one of the funniest and best days of the last month, bonus points if you know who's in the background!

I usually write about things when they giving me trouble or making me worry or sad, but I've found it to be really tricky, so I thought I would spin this on its head and make a list of 30 things that make me feel happy. I think by writing these down I can reference back to it later on and remind myself of things I can do when it all seems a bit much, or if I'm struggling with something and don't want to bother anyone. So, here's a list of thirty things that make me happy!
