I thought I'd take a couple minutes to think about things that really make me happy. A few things came to mind immediately. It was funny, but they were all birds. It makes me happy to see goldfinches on my bird feeder. It makes me happy to see hummingbirds flitting around my flowers and feeder. It makes me happy to see a bluebird sitting on the basketball backboard in the morning. It makes me happy to see a heron in the pond in my back yard. Such simple things and they make me smile.
It makes me happy to accomplish a task I've been planning to do and to do it when I planned to do it. *sigh* Like making tomato sauce on Sunday from all the tomatoes I froze over the summer months. It makes me happy to floss my teeth at night before I go to bed. It means I'm not so exhausted I'm unable to properly care for myself.
It makes me happy to know my husband is pleased with me. To know I've helped him in some way. It makes me happy to watch my husband laugh at something that just tickles him. It makes me happy to see my son happy. I love seeing my son laugh.
It's funny, if you would have asked me years ago what I thought would make me happy I think the answers would have been quite different. I think the answers would have involved trips or gifts or outings, but now the things that make me happy are much simpler and smaller. I'm glad they've become simpler and smaller. I'm glad because they are easier to attain. My happiness comes much more often now. I can find it in my kitchen or outside my window. I don't have to look very far to find happiness.
If you have a minute, please tell me what makes you
