What makes you happy? Are there certain things that can get you out of a slump? I'm pretty much always happy. .. Regardless of grouchy guses lol
Stole this quote shamelessly the other day and it seems to apply.
"Just because you are happy does not mean the day was perfect, it means you have looked beyond its imperfections." Bob Marley
I'm basically happy most of the time but having someone to talk to and share things with is a pretty good high for me plus any of these: grandkids, playing board games or cards especially with family, road trips, all animals, nature, discovery... yep it might be a shorter list to say what doesn't make me happy! ?
Lol OK... So you're like me.. .. Or im like you.
@Cutiebeauty Yep! ?
I think happiness is a fleeting moment, it comes and then it is gone. We live happy moments when ever possible and I do appreciate them or at least try to. I ask myself "Am I content with the way that my life is and has gone"? Can I satisfy my mind and keep peace in my head on a pretty steady basis. So far, so good!
It can dissipate.. So savor it. To me, when there’s less of the best stuff, the little things make up for it. Ride the wave ~
I used to be happy, then Trump ruined the last 2 years. I'll be happy again as soon as he's jailed for treason.
Why complain? Maybe you could move somewhere else?
@Cabsmom I'm not complaining, just expressing a fact answering a question that was posted not by you. This is my country and I am not even entertaining the thought of moving, especially when a traitor is running it, and I'm staying, as I said, to have the pleasure of seeing him prosecuted.
...no doubt I bring them up too often.. But nothing invigorates me like good news from my children. Sorry world, you’re second
Children always come first... No need to apologize ???
I just allow myself to feel whatever I'm feeling. Emotions aren't things you can turn on and off like a faucet, so if I'm feeling sad I just allow it and make sure to take extra care of myself, and it passes. I means accepting who I am, warts and all, and knowing that I'm still okay... I may listen to music, write, draw, sing, call a friend, find something to make me laugh, or just chill out.
Metal.
Just metal? What about wood or plastic....
@Cutiebeauty Not heavy enough...
I find the wonder and joy in life. The infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand, the joy of tasting a juicy, ripe peach. Intense, playful, passionate and determined, I have fun every day.
