Things That Make Me Happy


I have a "happy book". Luckily, I haven't needed it in quite a long time. The last time I used it was in Florida. My happy book is full of quotes, photos, and things that will lift my spirits when I most need it. From my "happy book", here are a few things that make me happy. Oh, and this was also a topic of discussion at work the other day. A coworker was saying what a horrible world we live in. You can't do anything anymore like you used to, you have to take all these precautions, yada yada. Needless to say, it was SUPER depressing and I refuse, no matter what the circumstances, to let someone bring me down to their level and make me feel bad. So, I brought up some things that are guaranteed to make most people happy! (I do believe it worked!!)


  1. Dari Ripple

  2. When the UPS truck stops at your house!

  3. Snowday

  4. The flickering of lightning bugs in a crop field

  5. Laughing until it hurts or you start crying

  6. Buying school supplies

  7. Porch swings

  8. How geese always have a "mate" nearby

  9. 10 minute naps that feel like an hour

  10. Dimples (on faces of course, grossy mcgross gross!!)

  11. The color the sky can take on at sunset

  12. Dances that you make up that are named after inanimate objects (i.e.-the sprinkler)

  13. The apple orchard or pumpkin patch

  14. The sense of sight

  15. Actually taking the time to enjoy the little things
