I love this article from Parade Magazine. The Dog Whisperer wrote about 8 things we can learn from dogs and other animals, and although we have all read so many, many articles about how to live happier and less stressed, this one really was unique. I especially loved this part: "Celebrate every day. 
For a dog, every morning is Christmas morning. Every walk is the best walk, every meal is the best meal, every game is the best game. We can learn so much by observing the way our pets rejoice in life’s simplest moments. Take time every day to celebrate the many gifts that are hidden in the ordinary events of your own life."
