Things to be Happy about

I got a book called "14000 things to be happy about" from A a few years ago. As the title indicates, the author recorded the little things that make her feel happy about, such as chucky spaghetti sauce, wild berries, inviting guests. The book is very simple in the setting, and no explanations are given. It is quite personal, as sometimes I struggle to understand why would a certainty thing could make her happy, such as "throwing the windows open during a blizzard and enjoying the air". Anyway, the idea to make identification to little or big happy moments is totally appealing to me, especially now. 

So here are the things that make/have made me feel happy about. It will be a growing list over time:
