What makes you happy
WHAT are some of the things that bring you joy? Do you enjoy playing in the park with your siblings, watching your favourite TV show or having extra time to draw or read a book?
Or maybe you love playing in the rain or running about with your pets?
Happiness is important for all of us. When we are happy, it makes us feel better and even healthier.
