i asked a number of people to complete the above sentence based on their snap response because i think we tend to not see things we can be happy about and keep focusing on things that make us unhappy but the fact is, there are a lot of things we can be happy about everyday.
below are the responses i received...

2 people said they weren't happy and 1 thanked me for asking that question 'cause "[she] needed that".
well, for me, i am happy today because i am alive and healthy. i am thankful that i am alive and do not require a machine to help me breathe or keep my heart beating. i do not need medications to keep me sane or needles in my body to clean my bloodstream. i do not need crutches to help me walk or prosthetic limbs to help me hold my cup. i do not need a walking stick or a hearing aid. i have many more things to be happy about... and that is why i will be happy everyday.
