It's been a rather long week hasn't it? A week full of ups and downs, and more bad news than anyone deserves. So I'm bringing back out the #SomethingPositive list. Tell the world what makes you happy!
The rules are simple: play nice and number your answers. List as many things as you want, you can comment more than once if you think of more, if you have previously participated you are encouraged to participate again!
