I saw my first lamb of the year yesterday. It made me happy all day
Share your daily moments of happiness ...
Nice thread MintyDoris
One small thing that makes me Happy is My Peace of Mind. I know it stems from my being Honest and not being able to lie to save my life
I never knew until recent times how many actually people lie to cover their asses and I am thankful I was raised better than that/them.
That is one thing that makes me Happy 1 -
I'm happiest when the people close to me are happy. I had a housemate who always got stressed at work. So to surprise her, from time to time I'd leave small chocolate bars in random places so they'd show up unexpectedly. She'd always text saying it made her day even if I was a big messer!MintyDoris wrote: »Share your daily moments of happiness ...
I love when I'm home and the dog runs to the car to welcome me back.
Friday evenings. Maximum amount of time off to relax and meet friends before the start of another week.0 -

I can just imagine. Hope you remember what sleep feels likeMintyDoris wrote: »She's 5 months Rocky. Best feeling in the world. Before you know it she'll be crawling around and there'll be no stopping her. The cousin's twins are just a little older. The little girl laughs at the 'funny faces' routine but the little boy is never impressed. Can't please some folks, haha! 0 -

I'm lucky in that I get indescribable amounts of joy from my daughter who is almost three
Apart from that, I have a very big garden with lots of bushes and trees so I love hearing the birdsong first thing in the morning.
Other little things that make me happy include:
When I begin reading a book and realise that I'm really going to love it. Sometimes it takes two or three chapters, other times it's almost instant. When I first read Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell I got the feeling before the end of the first page.
Sitting in complete peace and meditating. It's a fantasticaly liberating experience.
Achieving a goal I set out to achieve, even if it's only small, doesn't have to be big.
Listening to a very interesting radio show such as In our Time on BBC Radio 4.0 -

Chips eaten by the sea, the actually taste like seaside
Seeing how well you can bounce rocks off the sea as it flows in!
Those machines in the Amusements places, where you pop in a coin and see if it pushes more out, no matter what age I am I still get addicted to them once I start playing!
Sprinkles on icecream, especially when your not charged extra for them 0 -

Finished work today and went to spend some time reflecting by my nans grave; before returning and beating a personal time-trial in a cycle route! Arrive back from my cycle to news about our New Pope and see Pope Francis for the 1st time!
Lovely Day today for kerry4sam 0 -

My new engagement ring
I'm not the type who is all about the ring. I am mortified showing people in case it turns into a big deal with the squealing and the hints about how much it cost etc ... But he chose it himself and its perfect. My daughter grabbed that finger the other day and I looked at her beautiful chubby little hand and I realised, finally, I have all I ever wanted. I'm such a soppy git 0 -

Being able to actually watch a certain boxset of mine again just yesterday, after not being able to at all without feeling sad since the start of 2011 because of personal reasons from past stuff! Seems like I could be on the way to being 100% me again, just better me hopes, but we shall see! 0

Hold on to the good people and things in your life and take one day at a time. Family and friends are my rock. That, and going out to sea with my uncle on his boat or caring for animals. The dog always brightens my day when he runs to the car and jumps up on me to welcome me home!!!
Stay being the best version of you, you can be. The little things we do can make the world of difference to everyone around us. So keep going. No giving up now 0 -

I went to a Novena this evening with my Mother and surprised myself at how over-whelming it felt; just felt vulnerable
Looking around at everyone else there; the Church seems to be the one place; the one safe haven for everyone; everyone was welcome.
People looked worried and stressed while the younger generations appeared bored and restless while the adults tried to amuse them into silence.
It was surreal but it brought home some home truths that I needed to think about and everyone seemed to have their own problem that they needed assistance from St. Anthony and more.
Teeny Tiny Things! Everyone is fighting their own battle in this world. If you can make life just somewhat easier or happier for someone / anyone around you; I would urge you to. You never know the difference it could make to their life right now . Don't wait for tomorrow if you can 0 -

This might seem like a weird one, but during the downright glorious spell of weather we enjoyed a couple of weeks back I got the mad idea to jump into an outdoor pool with all my clothes on! And you know what - it was really enjoyable! It was as if I was completely stress-free and just went for it. Will be doing the same again if it's ever so pleasantly warm! 0
