Little happy things

[Monowheat]

As the phrase goes, "It's the little things that make the world." So here's a place where you can share the little things in life that made you smile or cheer you up.

Today I found a pair of earrings I thought I had lost. Wearing those makes me happy.

EEEEEEE! I like lil happy things!
Recently it was my lil walk in the rain. I remember seeing some nice houses, one kind of apt building that looked in style very similar to what I might see in my ol area I grew up in back in Toronto.
Even just the simple, usual scenery makes me happy. =]

This morning my husband made my favorite kind of coffee - cinnabun. YUM.

And, I woke up headache-free.

And, last night I finally fixed our Netflix-streaming-to-tv issue. Solving techie problems (even little ones) makes me feel like a god. Lol

I love this thread, Monowheat! Thanks for putting it up.


My 8 year old grandson told me that I was his "favorite grandma in the whole world."

Got to drink an actual coffee this morning (rainforest espresso) and it made a noticeable difference in my energy level. About five more of those and I'd feel like a normal human being, but hey, baby steps right?

[Monowheat]

Thanks guys! Glad you like the thread idea (I won't lie, I was anxious it would bomb).

Also on the subject of coffee. I like that we have the sugar free coffee syrups at home. I like that I can change the flavour a little bit depending on my mood. Today it's caramel, give me sweetness!

[Chantellabella]

Well, it didn't bomb and it's a great idea.

My cats make me happy.............especially my kittens right now who race up and down the stairs like torpedoes.

Went to bed early last night and slept in today. It feels really good to be well-rested.

Found a hair product to deal with my retarded hair. Yay pomades!

I have the weekend free

Monowheat, this is a great thread

A couple of things made me really happy today... Roman being one of them, of course I love him so much. He's seriously the best.
Our dogs made me happy today. I did some obedience training with Guinness and Niko and they did really well.
I haven't cut in about a week, and not really having urges lately, so I'm happy about that

[Skippy]

I'm sorry to say this, but i feel I have to.

I honestly don't think a lot of people understand what simple happiness is.
It's not stuff like 'a person or a material thing made me happy today'

.....what about that sunset that made everything look pink? listening to the raindrops sound on the roof? eatin' raspberries from yer backyard? a bird's call reminding ya of a distant sweet memory?

I dun want ppl to forget that stuff. Cuz ppl look at me funny when I say such things made me feel so good and they don't get it.
Makes me kinda sad, as society feels what makes you happy is money, a gf/bf, a good job, something material....

I don't need any of that...I want that simple life away from such expectations.
Just me n' my guitar while i travel is good enough for me.

But yah my point was that ppl often miss the REALLY simple stuff.... like we're here, alive right now. there's happiness and beauty to be found even dispite society and it's fighting and cruelty n shit.....

anyway....just sayin cuz it's been on my mind for awhile

I agree Skippy. Sometimes happiness eludes us when we're so busy with life. Or at least taking time to focus on the little happy things.


Today what made me happy was my baby kitten crawled into my lap, looked me in the face and smiled. He literally smiled.

[cameron]

I woke up to my kitty purring on me and that made me happy

I agree. That is precisely the reason I decided to create this thread. So we don't forget the little things in life.
