What Makes You Happy?

Spending time with Tavia and Salem of course.

My family when they get along with each other which is rare.

Being with my friends and playing cards with them and listening to music with them and acting silly.


Chocolate
Chocolate
Chocolate.

Seems like these days there are fewer things that make me happy just because life has become more complicated than I ever imagined...but the few things that can still make me happy are

A good book
A kitty who likes to cuddle
Being able to visit family and friends

- Waking up to find Quill sitting on the edge of my bed, purring
- Quill giving me those gentle headbutts
- Feeding my fish. They're too cute
- Saying thank you to the bus driver.
- The bus driver saying "Have a nice evening" back
- The moon, clouds, stars, sunlight, wind, leaves, grass, dirt, stone, water and everything in between
- Children laughing
- When Quill just licks me like there is nothing left on earth to lick, and to know that he loves me.
- Music
- Animals
- Plants
-CHOCOLATE


And too many other things to count.

When my SO laughs... (he has the most contagious laugh I've ever heard, it's impossible not to smile when you hear it )
When Berach snuggles me (he's like a person! he "caresses" my face and then nuzzles me)
When chloe follows me around and lays on me (which is always)
When Beatrix hangs out in the living room with all of us and the kitties (happens rarely)
going for a walk with the kittens or just enjoying the sunlight outside with them
a great meal at a good restaurant with friends
adventuring!
a good book and a nice snuggle kitty on the couch
getting coffee every morning at Peets with my mom
shopping!
hanging around the house...

ok that's all I can think of right now

My spider laying her eggs.

According to DH... Nothing

It makes me so happy on the rare occasions I get to see my granddaughter and my daughter. Olivia, the baby, got into her "scary monster" stage, and was not sleeping through the night, kept waking up screaming. She was a little afraid of my SO for some reason, then we told her that he was there to chase away the scary monsters. She has slept through the night ever since, and has decided she loves him and he is her protector. He was over the moon about it, and it makes me so happy to see my small family bonding again. My daughter has always loved him, and he has always been her protector and surrogate dad as well. That is just a little of what makes me happy.

All sorts of things, my cats of course, U2, my fiance, Johnny Depp and going on my holidays

Almost forgot - working plumbing makes me very happy. (Like the gurgle of a working toilet.)

one of those hugs that you can almost melt into, maybe a gentle cheek snuggle with it too
