Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes. Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings. In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun. Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own.

Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value. Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 37 When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people dont allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor. 38 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness. 39 Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood. Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
