A list started in a small spiral notebook decades ago evolved into the book 14,000 Things to be happy about. What was once just my own way of paying attention, taking note of the little things, and collecting the words to describe them has found its way into more than one million hands. This site has become the repository for a growing database of happy thoughts and shares other list books I have made and still nurture. Things to be happy about offers a refreshable list and calendar of Things to be happy about, a wish list, words of wisdom, a guide to creating good karma, meditations and spiritual reminders, things for kids to be happy about, and a place to create and grow your own list. Just click on parts of the village illustration to go different types of content and mouse over the count below to see recently added happy entries. The lists on the pages, including the home page, refresh every few minutes or so. Things to be happy about is a place to savor, share, see, make, send, and support happiness, appreciation, and gratitude.
