It can be hard to be happy with all the terrible things going on in the world right now, but we can’t let those things, especially the ones that are out of our control, ruin our days, weeks, and months.
We need to look at the good things in life and let them keep us moving forward.
Let’s get positive with AskReddit users as they share what has made them happy recently!
1. Have a seat!
“Honey bee sat on my leg, cleaned itself and flew away after about 5 min.
Felt honored!”
2. Phew!
“I misread a due date for a lab and thought it was due on Saturday (June 6) but it’s not actually due until July 6th so I don’t have to be super stressed out about it.”
3. Feed me!
“My oriole family in my yard wrecked my feeder because it was empty. It made me happy to know that I can help animals in some small way.
It made me laugh to know that they were all, “Hey, where’s the food at, Lady!?””
4. Turn someone’s day around.
“My wife got cussed out by the person behind her in line one day because she wouldn’t pull up (if she did she would hit the car in front of her) so instead of yelling back she bought their meal for them.
The lady pulled up beside her. She was sobbing and apologizing saying she was having a really rough day and how sorry she was for being rude.”
5. Great job!
“My boss told me I’m doing a good job.
I underestimated how powerful yet scarce, encouragement and praise can be.”
6. Keep up the good work.
“A student wrote a paragraph on our online class about how much she enjoyed my class and how much fun I made it.
Made my week.”
7. Glad you are healthy.
“My test results came back negative for Coronavirus after being sick for the past 5 days.
I’m still really sick and I was pretty nervous since I got tested but I’m happy it’s not that!”
8. Some security.
“I’m happy that I have more money in my savings account alone than I had in my checking and savings combined a year ago.
Money doesn’t mean happiness, but the sense of relief and security is making me happy.”
9. The little things.
“My kitty climbed in bed with me this morning, flopped down, curled up next to me, and started purring.”
10. Lookin’ sexy.
“I fully shaved my head for the first time in my life.
Wife was against the idea but I wanted to do it for so long and there is no better time to do it than now.
I did it and after I showered, my wife looks at me with lust. Thinks I look real sexy.”
11. That’s all it took.
“My daughter told me she loved me, and that I’m her best friend. She’s 3 years old. I suffer from depression and anxiety, so this made my heart swell.
I don’t know what I ever did to deserve such a precious child. Just typing this is making me tear up a little.” 😅
12. Congrats!
“My dad got a job as a warehouse manager that he needed so he doesn’t need to work 2 jobs and he can see me and my family more.”
13. A new friend.
“I’m getting a kitten!!
I’ve wanted one for so long, and I’m finally getting one with my boyfriend.
Currently sitting in the car waiting for him to lock the front door to our apartment so we can head over to Petco to buy the essentials and then a mini road trip to pick up our kitten.”
14. Let’s play!
“My dog brought me her toy to play!
She’s 15 and spends most of the day sleeping now, so seeing her run around excited made me so happy!”
15. Remembering Dad.
“I got coffee at a spot I used to go to with my dad. He’s been gone 10 years but I still miss him.
It had been a while since I’d been because I’m not usually on that side of town. It was a coincidence but it was nice to think of him again.”
Now we want to hear from you!
