What makes you happy

[Elephanttrunk]

In these times of stress and uncertainty what are the things that make you happy?
One of mine is sitting peacefully with a nice cup of coffee watching the clouds go by

Sitting on the doorstep in the morning with a cuppa watching the sun come up

Sounds lovely optimistic
I also love a hot relaxing bath with an aromatic bath bomb

Tending my plant family! I have a lot of rare plants and I enjoy trying to keep them alive

My bed . I'm at my happiest going to bed early either watching crap tv or reading a book as the rest of my life is too serious

Hearing my dpuppy scraping at the bedroom door thing then coming for a cuddle before I get up!

Watching the breeze blowing through the leaves on the tress.
I love it.

Taking my dog for a walk. I have beautiful countryside where I live, and we have a special log in the woods where we’ll sit and share an apple and have some water.

If I feel down or stressed, it’s like a mini-mini-break.

Going for a run early before everyone up ... sun coming through trees in the forest . Bliss

Beautiful pictures Luna
I also love reading a good book in bed, must get my kindle out and pick something new to read

Walking my lovely dog and horse riding .

Watching my plants grow
Seeing the birds visit
Hot baths in the evening
Cold nights snuggled into DH’s arms
Watching my 9 week old baby smile and laugh

I love coming home from work and my kitties all rushing up to me, purring and tumbling over themselves. I know it's cupboard love but then they all compete for cuddles later.

I'm also lucky, I live close to the sea and wake up every morning and see the Med when I open my curtains.

Being somewhat productive makes me happy. I feel quite low if I can’t get a few things off my checklist.
Usually it would be exercise, getting the kids out for a bit - garden is good enough some days, doing some work, reading, eating well and keeping on top of the chores.
I know that’s a dull answer but if those things aren’t done then no amount of relaxing in the garden or watching the clouds go by makes me happy.
If they are done, then yes, watching birds, looking at stars, watching a decent film, reading in the garden are all things that I love.

Just being outdoors does it for me.

Coffee and a nice biscuit.

Or I sometimes listen to a 5 minute meditation on you tube (its almost like a mini sleep in the middle of the day I feel amazing afterwards for little effort).

Having extra time working from home to put body moisturiser on after my shower.

Lunch time at home with DH at home as both still working from home.

Laughing with my family.

I get what you mean @ILiveInSalemsLot ...sometimes, a lot these days, I don’t have the energy or motivation to do the mundane things like exercise, chores etc but if I actively do something from my happy list it gives me the boost I need to then go on and do the things that need to be done.

Swimming. Being alone. Fresh air. Friends.
