1000 reasons to be happy.
I thought it would be a nice idea to collect at least 1000 reasons why we can be happy, so if you wanna join, write one or a few things that make you happy. Numerize them though.
Inspired by LongRoadToRuin in the chat room.
1. People on 7 cups.
Seeing the sun rise on a new day!
32. Walking around barefoot in grass. Especially after a good summer rain.
33. Having child/children and realizing this it is very much possible to love someone completely unconditionally so much that it consumes you in the most beautiful ways.
I have a few more to add so I will keep it to one post now.
