We have several threads going about what annoys us and drives us "nuts" - what about what makes you happy, or makes you laugh??


Quite obviously, one of the things that makes me happy is spending time w/ my furbabies!
They also make me laugh, w/ their crazy shenanigans!


Spending time w/ my family (especially my son & granddaughter!) makes me happier than words can say!
I love to travel, and see new places. Helping others makes me smile, too!


Those are just a few: I'm sure I'll think of more.


What makes you happy??

1) When Mitzi wakes me up by lying on my face at 4am
2) When me and Mitzi have a little play - wrestle lol

3) When she waits for me when I get back from school
4) When she bites my toes and attacks my feet

5) When she gets up on her hind legs when she wants tuna!

Coming home from work at the end of the day.
Getting all my paperwork finished a day early.
Finding ice cream that I forgot was in the freezer.
A good nights sleep.
Just the basics most of all.

I love to see my children's smile when I pick them up from school. an unexpected hug or kiss. when my kids draws me picture, or make something for me. When my DH brings flowers or candy just because
. snuggles from my dog or cat. the sound of purring in my ear

When Luna cuddles with me, whether its on my stomach or neext to my head at night.

Really funny movies always cheer me up too. The weirder/funny they are, the better.

On those rare occasions when I catch my 80-something parents hugging, it makes me just gloriously happy.

Not worrying about bills.
Playing with our kittens.
Being with my hubby and laughing with him.

All in all, just being carefree...

In no particular order:
  • Forest flopping over for a belly rub
  • Hugging Tailer
  • Being slept on by Harvey
  • My husband...he can always find a way to cheer me up
  • The sound of a child laughing
  • Puppies
  • Getting e-mails from my niece

Snuggling with my kitties, especially Trent. He's such a good snuggler!
And Trent kisses.
He always just makes me feel very special and priviledged to love him.

Watching Mojo scamper around like a maniac always makes me laugh. She's a riot!

Ginger Cookie giving kisses and being lovey. She's such a sweetie!

When Ophelia deems me OK enough to allow me to pet her. (Most of the time she deems me an axe murderer and runs away.
)

When my favorite teams win.


Being up at Buffalo Creek with the shooters. Good times.

Being in Ohio in August.
Sounds nuts, I know, but it's one of the two things I truly look forward to every year. Really good times!

Christmas.

Finding the perfect present for someone I care about, and that includes my Secret Santa.


Thanks for starting this thread. I enjoyed reading the replies so far, and I really needed the reminder of all of the things that make me happy.

Oh no, it doesn't sound nuts at all! When I was a kid, my family always spent a couple of weeks in August at Grandma & Grandpa's in Ohio, and at that time of year, Ohio is full of the sweetest fresh corn... back then, you could pay the farmer directly, walk out into his field with a bushel basket, and pick it yourself! Oh, how the kitchen windows would steam up from all the pots of corn boiling on the stove!

Ahhh... memories...

Sitting on my couch and noticing that all my animals are in the same room resting with me. That does not happen often. Seeing my daughter's hard work in school pay off. Watching Are You Smarter Than a Fifth grader with my daughter and husband. Shopping for my daughter and the dog a Halloween costume.

Working out on the Arabian horse farm today made me happy. Made me feel...useful, getting all dusty, dirty, and horsey. The only thing that made me unhappy about it was the small sunburn I recieved for all my work. -_-

My animals also make me happy, of course. ^_^ And school.
