What Makes You Really Happy?

Hmmmmm, wow, Diane, that's a deep question....LOL!  I would have to say my very deep faith in God and, right now, my intense excitement in planning an upcoming cruise and trip to California for my family and me!  After the death of my very young SIL, it made me stop and think of how short this life really is.......I decided right then and there, we've worked hard for so many years, it's now time to PLAY and have FUN!!!!  I've got a bunch of vacation/cruise books here and am trying to plan some really neat trips and cruises!!!!  Also, it makes me very, very happy when I can help others....like with my Hospice volunteering!!!!!

Thanks, Nora, these things make me happy also.

A quiet day w/o an argument, having my hair and nails done at the salon, hearing Katie laugh, being able to spend the day in the garden talking to my flowers.

Having dinner with my family...  spending time with my sisters... laughing over life with my girlfriends...seeing a baby smile....getting checks in the mail...hydrangeas in full bloom... tall purple iris's.... soft pink peony's.... hugs...holding hands... so many things...

my grandbabies are my inspiration.  they bring me joy everyday.

knowing i am loved by my donbare.

My family, my friends, LIFE, my flowers, my pets, camping, good food, vacation, photography, watchign movies, reading a good book, sheesh - pretty much everything makes me happy.

I was just thinking to myself how I really dislike the "one liner" posts because they don't really say much of anything but nonsense and then stumbled across this and it says so much.  No, there is nothing like enjoying time with your kids and taking a moment to smell the flowers. I was listening to some women the other day already wishing school was back in.

I had read a post of yours a while ago about your daughter-in-law and haven't seen anything since. I do hope she is doing well.

Hiya, all you happy people!

I heard recently re: Happiness as being 
 
1) Some to love and live for (pets count, of course but shouldn't supplant people, IMO) 
 
2) Something to work for (with love I would think) 
 
3) Something to hope for 
 
Pretty good, I'd say. Anything more, folks? It seems to me simplifying your life enough so you can appreciate what's there is a good idea. It seems the more you got, the more you want, as our recent consumerist past shows. Y'all take care, be happy but don't blind yourself to what's going on outside your happiness too. Aloha,

Hmmm... What makes me happy?

Family, and friends, my animals!

A good nights sleep, with that everything else falls into place and I can enjoy life.

The fact the Lord died for me and gave up his life so I can have mine back. God is good

My happy marriage to my husband, my sweet son, getting to pamper myself for 20 minutes a day by doing something nice for myself, my family and my friends.

Chocolate is the simple answer.  :0)  - HH

I think the same way.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)

Mostly nature. I love trees and flowers. Sitting in the shade looking at the beauty is very relaxing.

I love art museums and music for the same reason.

Just spending some quiet time with my Hubby

spending some time alone. HH

My children make me happy, and my lap top

HH by the way.

Quiet time with hubby and kids on a sunny day by the seashore :) HH

Just having time to spend with those I  love.

Being with my grandsons when they are behaving makes me happy.  Unexpected compliments also make me happy.  HH

hmmm, well a lot of things actually, probably too many to list

Seeing my best friend and spending time with her makes me really happy.   I wouldn't know what to do if I don't have her in my life.

my son, my gf, my friends, writing, art & photography, and the hopes of having more kids...

also the thoughts of having more pets someday... 10
