Come On Get Happy...

I'm currently reading Rachel Kempster's and Meg Leder's The Happy Book:  a  journal to celebrate what makes you happy.  Naturally, one of the first assignments in the book is to list some of the things that make you happy.  I love finding out what makes people happy, because often their happiness brings other happiness, and before you know it, happiness is flowing everywhere!
