If 2020 (and 2021, lets be honest) taught me anything, it's that happiness comes largely from the small pockets of joy that can be found in everyday life, rather than in the bigger events. Of course those big moments bring their own version of joy with them, but they come far and few between, so it's those little moments that keep your happiness levels up in between.
For the past three years I've recorded a one second video from every single day, and watching it back at the end of the year makes me smile beyond measure because it reminds me of all of the little moments spent with friends, family and my pets that I would have otherwise forgotten.
