Written on .

By Stefano Blanca Sciacaluga

Following on from my previous blog entry where I spoke about the book 14,000 things to be happy about, and the exercise of finding positives in unconventional settings, I was asked to come up with an additional fifty things to be happy about, mostly with this time of year in mind but applicable to other seasons too.
