Things that make you happy?

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Cats
Dogs
Sitting outside when the temperature is perfect, be it on a nice sunny day, or night time with the decorative lights.

my family
chocolate
going on a vacation
lazy days
overcast, drizzly days

The feeling after a good workout.
When the cat climbs in bed with us.
Thunder rumbling in the distance.
A good nap on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Getting lost in a good book.

The love from the animals at the shelter when I'm there. It's so real, genuine and addicting.

Thank you, TippyThomas so much for the care and love you give to animals. Not a parent but love the grandkid shares. Kiddos of all kinds are precious indeed.

Saw this in my feed this morning and thought of this thread -- pretty accurate for me, but add a quiet dog on my lap as well.

Lots and lots of things…..

Going to Mass
Watching Holy Moly as a family
Being with my family
My DD19 being home
Sunday nights - my pizza & pajamas night
Floating in my pool
Starting a new puzzle
Putting in final piece of a puzzle
Going to the gym
Holidays with my family

I can go on and on…..

As like in creating 5 @slo polls every week for our collective enjoyment, Sandy?

Sitting down to read a good book with no interruptions.
Looking out the window in the spring and summer when my pool is open.
Not having to cook dinner.
Hearing my little boy tell me he loves me for no reason.
Having a sink with no dirty dishes in it.
When my dog rests him chin on my leg and lets me pet his soft head.

I think it is awesome no one has mentioned watching 24 hour news (or even any news at all), trying to change people's opinions on the internet, or browsing social media posts. The things that divide us are not what make us happy.

Hearing my kids sing to themselves (that's what they do when they are happy)
Making my husband laugh
A good heist movie
Enjoying our home and property
The smell of fresh flowers in the house (Our Lilacs are currently blooming and it is such a short season!!!)
Laughing with my sister as she tells crazy stories
Campfires, S'mores, and looking up at the incredible stars

I definitely can identify with some of these! My DH wonders why I get up so early in the morning. It is that morning coffee and just sitting on the couch and the peacefulness of being the only one awake. Also, cancelled plans... for some reason I am usually thrilled if plans are cancelled.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

My children doing well and being happy.
Getting to FaceTime with my daughter.
Our dog.
My first cup of coffee in the morning.
Fridays and Saturdays.

Agree! I love making plans, I think it'll be great to go to XYZ, and then when the actual day comes, I wonder why I ever thought I wanted to do that.

our granddaughter
our dogs
sunny days
sitting in our backyard listening to our water fountain and the birds
my hummingbird feeder
holding my husbands hand
a perfectly toasted english muffin
music playing in the background
long car rides with the moon roof open
open windows with the curtains blowing in the breeze
pretty much anything!

My DH is the same way!
