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

[SadSandwich]

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

The 2 sheep in my herd that love me. The others tolerate me but these 2 run towards me when they see me.

Walking by myself - urban not rural at all !
Podcasts
Being with my brother and sisters ( without partners ) - especially now both my parents have died
Being with my early adult/ teen children
Sitting in the sun with a takeaway coffee and Kit Kat .
Laying in bed by myself
Being in the company of only a few select friends

Ooo forgot one - seeing my rainbows and guides do something new and loving it or just generally been with them!

Steam railways, pop up books, country trips, favourite authors, applying makeup, sitting in cafes alone reading or writing, new clothes, citrus perfume.

Bacon sandwiches, jewelery, and morning TV.

Animals, exercising, hiking and finding a nice view, music, a good tv series to binge, having spare time, summer evenings didn’t outside. Also money, as it means I can do what I like.

Swimming and total silence

Fungi

The coast.

Seeing the sea every single day, 30 seconds after I leave home. Taking the dog to the beach. Walking along the seafront. Swimming in the sea. Rockpooling. Sitting on the beach after school pick ups on my day off, digging a hole with dc. Taking ds3 to the beach front park and just sitting looking at the view. Everything about the coast just makes me happy, relaxed and content.

I'd be absolutely miserable if I didn't live near the sea tbh.

Nature.

Cats and dogs. Adore them.

My lovely dogs
being in woods
driving somewhere a long way away on my own
my coven
Sky phenomena, be it moon, meteor showers, rainbows, Aurora Borealis, eclipses, clouds, ISS, stars…
music I love
(bits of) my house, still a work in progress

Being on holiday.
I'm lucky l do go away a lot.

Tap dancing. I told the teacher it was the best 45 minutes of my week. I do two classes now so it's 90 minutes.

Podcasts, exploring, volunteering

Same.

Gardening and fixing things - getting my hands dirty and being able to see the results.
A beach walk on a warm sunny day.
My cat draped over my shoulder, purring.
A long natter with my parents, and seeing them so happy and engaged with life in their late 60s.
The buildup and smell before and after a massive thunderstorm with torrential rain.
Not being in debt of any kind.

A cup.of tea, it the answer to most problems

Poetry

Peace and quiet at home. I love when no one is in the house and I can snuggle under a blanket with my dog.

I've started pottery and find it really therapeutic.

I've also found plants, flowers and my garden, I'm not very good but it gives me lots of pleasure

My dogs I get so much comfort and happiness from them
