Lists can help you open your mind to new thoughts. There is a book for adults called 14,000 Things to Be Happy About. The writer of this book thought about being happy in many different ways. Here are some of the things listed in the book:
• making a balloon dog
• fake fur coats
• being a night person
• urban legends
• combining different cereals
