I'm watching yesterday's Oprah on DVR and it is all about "what makes you happy". It's a great episode. And I'm wondering, what do you all think? What makes you happiest???
Here are my "little things"
- having a job that I don't hate, even though I'll never make six figures
- having a happy marriage with a person who is my best friend and partner, and we have fun together every day
- relaxing on the beach, on a sunny day, with a book ...ahhhhh
- having a house that we've literally put blood, sweat and tears into making it our "home" - so satisfying
- food is pleasure of my life that makes me happy. sharing a great meal with family and friends, makes me really happy.
- pedicures ![]()
Re: *what makes you happy*
Umm...exactly this. Minus the pedicures -- they make me happy but I never really indulge!
Very interesting!
Here are the few things that make me happy
~warm weather
~my dog (well most of the time)
~my family! It always re-energizes me when I spend time with them
~the house/home that DH are creating

Great Topic. I would say all the above and...
... Hope my friends are as happy as I am, that our future children get great education, Wishing for no wrinkles, Always stay at 125lb even when I am in my old year, and that my husband lose about 20lbs.
My Happy Things:
Cooking - Especially big meals for lots of people
Dining - Going out to eat with a bunch of friends
Exercise - Love doing it, just need to do it more frequently
Good Music - I have such a wide variety, and listen to it all day every day.
My Nieces & Nephew - They are just too cute and sweet to not make ANYONE happy!
My Husband - I have someone that I can completely be myself around!
My Puppy - Maggie is making this not conceiving business a little easier, cause she is convinced that she is a human baby
My House - It is big (to us - 2400 sq ft) and beautiful! They did a great job when they built it in the 80s. It doesn't look that outdated at all! We only had to do minor painting when we moved, and the insulation they pumped into that place keeps our heating bill REALLY low!
Wonderful post!!! Here are some of mine!
- Feeling my baby kick...it's the most amazing feeling in the world
- My family
- Having a husband who is my best friend and makes me happier than I ever thought I could be
- That my husband has found a career in something that he loves to do...even though we will never be rich, we are beyond wealthy in happiness
- That I was blessed with an inheritance that allows me to stay at home with my children while they are young. I won't be able to stay at home forever, but at least I can until they are school age which is incrediably important to me. I am beyond blessed.
- Sunshine beaming down on me through a window
- The smell of freshly cut grass
- Baking
- Cuddling infront of a fire
- My doggies
- Bubble baths and wine!
Another awesome post!!!
Let's see...what makes me happy?
Hahaha! I need to stop - it's so easy to get carried away when thinking and writing "happy" thoughts!!!
My husband/marriage
Our three cats
My friends
Red wine
My Kindle
Umm... that's it. Not too much to make me happy right now
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
My husband
My BFFs (especially the one in CA)
when my nephew decides he wants to talk to "Auntie Kampy" on the phone and starts singing me the ABCs...truly melts my heart
a good meal with good wine
curling up with my H on the couch to watch tv or a movie
My husband is the one thing in my life that can make me happy at the drop of a dime. He is the essence of happiness in my life.
My Fur-babies our two cats and our dog are like my babies and they bring so much joy into our home, I don't understand people who have no pets!
Dinner with Friends/Family is one of my all time favorite things to do. I love catching up with people over a meal. It is so relaxing and I always leave feeling a stronger connection to them.
Vacations make me sooo happy, even just being in the airport is pure happiness!
DH (obviously) - it's so amazing to be so in love and being loved
My amazing family and friends - they are so supportive
Football!
Red wine
Sunsets
Sunrises
Singing to musicals with my friends
Cocktail nights
Nerdy science conversations
Shopping
Hiking
. . . and this post, good idea!
