One of the best noises in the world is the sound of the coffee machine coming to life. As it boots up, regains power, and starts a pot of Joe, I can feel the same reinvigoration coursing through my veins. Light roast bean smells waft through the kitchen and the pattering steam clatters into the pot, and suddenly waking up early isn't so bad. While Monday mornings aren't exactly the most delightful for many folks, at least we'll always have a hot cup of coffee to greet us.

Many small moments during the day can make us smile.

No matter how benign it seems to wake up and smell the Folgers, recognizing the happier times of the day can make them even more powerful. Waving hello to the mailman or finding a good parking spot at work might seem rudimentary, but in the grand scheme, those little wins keep us going. So hold your head up high and tackle the day with those positive vibes in mind, because it doesn't take much to snort laugh at a meme or to smile at a stranger—and it may just make their day.
