Lately I feel like I’ve been drowning in negativity. As ridiculous as this last week has been, I wanted to take a few moments and reflect on what is all good in my life (and why I’m smiling today) and give you all some reasons to smile, because God knows we all need to right now.

1. You’re alive
2. You have family who loves you
3. You have friends who will be there for you
4. Kittens in a pile
5. Puppies chasing their tails
6. There’s no snow on the ground yet
7. It’s not finals week yet
8. Netflix
9. It’s almost Thanksgiving
10. Your favorite food
11. Your favorite song
12. A baby smiling
13. Your favorite YouTuber
14. You just aced an exam
15. Fluffy, adorable baby animals
16. You look great in that outfit. I mean it.
17. Random acts of kindness
18. Your favorite TV show
19. You’re at a great school

And finally,

       20. The sun’s going to come up tomorrow

I hope you smiled. I love you, and everything’s going to be okay.
