Look around, it is time to find three happy things, or at least three things that will make you smile.

• The flower that bloomed.
• The child giggling.
• The lawn recently mowed, in perfect lines criss-crossing the yard.
• The newly ripe tomato in the garden you planned, planted and have tended.
• The thank you note from a friend.
• The upbeat, appreciative e-mail from a client.
• The rocks, carefully stacked while you were on a conference call – still standing.
• The article you just finished, being approved by your editor.
• The family who come to visit you.
• The friend who dropped off a gift from the party she missed.
• The movie preview that makes you laugh no matter how many times you watch it.
• The confirmation that something was delivered.

Those three happy things, the ones that happen occasionally – but hopefully, repeatedly, in life. Often the littlest things can become big after a busy week is coming to an end. Smile, there are more like this out there.
