I'm not going to spend a lot of time making a list of things I know I should do anyway. Same resolutions, another year. Yeah, I'll lose weight, exercise more, practice random acts of kindness. I don't need to write it down. Instead, here's an idea I saw somewhere else that I really like.
It's a list of things that make me happy.
Because you should always be grateful for the little things. Add your own items in the comment section.

Hmm...how about seeing the scale drop a pound without having to torture myself. Or, a nice long day of fruitful writing without the phone ringing every ten minutes. Either of those sound devine.
