50 Things that Make Me Happy Writing Challenge

I recently came across a post called 50 Things that Make Me Happy. I then realized that bloggers have been challenging other bloggers to write a post on what makes them happy.  This is a great writing prompt because it allows bloggers to think positive. It also lets your readers get to know you a little better. 

Needless to say I have accepted the challenge and am going to try to come up with 50 thing that make me happy. Although some of you may not think of this as much of a challenge, it is a challenge for me because I am a pessimistic person. I tend to always think of the worst case scenario or point out the negatives in life. So today lets think positive. If we think positive, we are more apt to be positive, right?!

In no particular order, here is my list of 50 things that make me happy. 

1. Pepsi in a can
