In Part 1 of my Things That Make Me Happy series, I posted 13 things that came to mind that made me happy. But there are so many wonderful things and experiences on this earth that I can’t possibly fit them all into one post. In fact, building a Things That Make Me Happy list makes me so happy, that it might just become a daily habit to add to it whenever I see or hear or experience something that makes me happy. When the list gets big enough, I’ll share them here with you. I hope you’ll comment and share what makes you happy too!
Things That Make Me Happy
- My husband humming a cheery tune around the house.
- My budgies making little warbling and trilling sounds.
- Reading a good story.
- The way my dog is so excited to see me, even if I’ve only been gone 5 minutes.
- Seeing other people happy. It’s contagious!
- Hearing children laugh.
- Fits of laughter so intense that your stomach hurts and your eyes water afterwards.
- Having breakfast for dinner.
- Hearing the hopes and dreams of others.
- Seeing others accomplish their dreams.
- Having flexibility to live life on my schedule. (That’s a rare pleasure!)
- Having a friend tell me the advice I gave them really helped.
- Having a prayer answered.
- Receiving wisdom from a conversation with someone much older than me.
- Pondering all the wonderful possibilities that lay ahead of me. (I’ve always been a bit of a day dreamer.)
- Being able to share my knowledge and experience with someone who needs it.
- Seeing the excited look on the face of a child who just accomplished something great or overcame something difficult.
- Falling asleep in a newly made bed with fresh, clean sheets.
- Lingering in the cozy warmth of bed just a little longer than my alarm clock wants me to.
