Playing Guitar or Piano are my favorite happy activities to do. Swimming, yoga, hiking in the woods, riding my bike, walking the dog are all in the moment mindful activities that do make me happy doing them. Cooking and gardening are also activities that will bring a smile to my face.
There’s so much that makes me happy. Horse riding, dancing around the house to upbeat music, swimming in the sea, particularly when it’s a windy day and the waves are huge! Spending time with friends and family. When I’m in the moment, I’m at my happiest.
Just being out in the sun makes me happy. Or feeling a gentle mist of rain on my face. Fog makes me scared/happy. Does that make sense?
But my all time happiest is when I’m at the beach.
Talking with my close friends as often as possible, time spent with my kids, working on projects around the house and going on trips, hugging and laughing!
These days, I really enjoy chatting with some new people in my life.

Yesterdays Happy Brownie Sunday was bliss out watering my yard, misting myself and the trees and making rainbows in the sky with my garden hose. I always sing that old Monkees song…only change the lyrics to ” another happy brownie sundaaaaay….” lol
Seeing the man I love.
He doesn’t love me, infact he is married.
But he has made my life into something hideously beautiful, and that makes me so, so happy.
!!! Touch makes me happy. As a friend of mine just said to me today, “I never realized how much humans need touch until I grew up and everyone stopped hugging and touching.” Or in my case, I never realized how much humans need touch until I grew up and stopped practicing serial monogamy.
It’s always nice to do things for other people, simply that can make many of happy… however I think just to lay in tall grass, on a warm sunny day, looking up at a blue sky. with light fluffy clouds drifting by, whilst listening to some cool sounds and a beer wihtin reach..that would make me happy…...
@this_velvet_glove : NICE, I have never seen anyone really dancing to metal, haha…
I just remembered another one! Singing! It is beautiful and sunny here for the first time in weeks and I’ve been photosynthesizing and singing all day!
