Outside of your family, hubby and friends what makes you really happy

[SadSandwich]

For me it’s currently solitude. Space and quiet for myself.

Not having a family makes me incredibly happy 😉
But also time alone, books, volunteering, cities, art, theatre, watching tennis, sleep.

My work is the main thing (I am a teacher). Interesting, fun and rewarding. It's a real shame how many people have a bad experience in the profession......

I also love: reading; cooking and baking; being out in the countryside; my dog; seaside holidays with amusement arcades; horror films; watching the snooker. Those are the main things I can think of right now - there is probably more ....

Exercise, my choir and my church.
I enjoy my job too

My work (though it often frustrates me in equal measure!), my local pub, walking to work (what a luxury!), good food, good wine, art, history, music, reading, a good work out (or at least when it stops!), sitting on the balcony watching the world, football, watching sport. So much. I’m an infuriatingly pollyannaish type!

Audiobooks

As my NN would suggest…

Nice walk
Nice coffee
Good music

Nature... greenery, flowers, birds, insects other wildlife, the sound of wind in the trees, or of birds, the colour of the hills, my pond.....etc etc.

Learning new and interesting (to me) things.

Harvesting home grown fruit and veg.

A good box set or book and a hot drink in my favourite mug.

Riding my bike
Lifting weights at the gym
Roller skating
Swimming in the sea
Nice long walk
Good views
Admiring bright pretty flowers
Having a headphone disco for one after a bit of wine
Getting big housework jobs done (hoovering the car/cleaning the toilet/changing beds)

and the ultimate high - taking stuff to the tip or charity shop!

My dog
Having my hair cut and coloured every 6 weeks
Listening to music, it's my therapy.
The first view of the sea
Feeling the sun on my face

Travel, reading, sunshine, lovely fresh food, coffee, exploring and interesting views
I also swim in the sea a lot.

Watching ice hockey, knitting, LEGO building, going to the cinema, eating out, reading. Although I haven’t done much of the last recently.

Knitting and Sewing.

Long, sunny days
Listening to birds singing and bees buzzing
Singing
Watching the sea
My cat
Ds1 and ddil's guinea pigs and chickens

Being alone
Netflix and chill

My house. I’m very proud of it and love cleaning it and having everything just so. It makes me feel so calm.
My little dog, he’s my joy.
Having a facial and massage

My job. A particular facet of my job just makes me calm down immediately.

Cats. All animals really.

Nature, especially plants trees flowers, animals. Also solitude and peace. Also cooking and eating (I love food!). Walking is very soothing and I walk a lot.

Music. Listening to music, composing it. I don’t play anymore because I can’t right now.

Other things make me happy too but music is God.

Being alone. Star Trek. Sewing. My cats.

Horses. Riding then, being with them. Dogs. The sunsets from my house. Charity shop bargains.
