Every hour is Golden Hour with my Pepsi dog. He is the most jovial when he is outside for a walk (especially in the snow).

Are you able to go for a walk at golden hour today? Keep an eye out for something (or someone!) who makes you feel jovial, cheerful.

If your golden hours aren't free, or if you don't find going for a walk to be quite as exciting as Pepsi does, look for gold or warmth throughout the day that makes you smile. 

If you can't get the golden light right after sunrise, or just before sunset, see if you can add warmth to your photo in your editing process. If you're using a camera, before you take your picture, set your white balance to shoot in Kelvin (play around with the number to see what you like best).
