The tiniest things can make people happy… so I decided to make a list of some of the things that make me happy. The list could go on forever, but I have school tomorrow and don’t have time for that 🙂
Things that make me happy:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bubbles in pizza crust
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Making others smile
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Baking
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Loose Pants
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Running in the rain
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The smell and feel of clean sheets
-         Listening to the “I love you†of people on the phone with their parents or spouse.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Running into the exact person you needed to see, just because they remind you not to give up.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The feeling of the sun beating down on your body.
-         The look in someone’s eye when they are talking about something they are truly passionate about.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Going to bed with all homework complete.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Walking around town when it is quiet and everyone else seems to not exist.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Doing something for someone else and realizing how happy it made them.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Standing on a beach letting the waves run over your feet.
-         Hearing the words “I’ve been thinking about you!â€
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The smell of outside on a winter day in the middle of the night, when I am supposed to be sleeping but open my window just to feel the cool air.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Making someone laugh really hard.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Clothes/blankets/towels that just came out of the dryer that are so warm.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Finishing a long run or workout.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The ride back on the bus from cross country and swim meets.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Swinging like you are a little kid again.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Waking up with your alarm and feeling like you can take on the day.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Unexpected hugs from people you never knew cared.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Experiencing something again from when I was little, like a TV show or game.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Going to sleep knowing you get to sleep in.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The little thank you gesture you get sometimes when you are nice to people in traffic.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Braiding hair and having people question how I do such complex braids.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Knowing my teacher likes me a lot and would never guess the problems I have.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Ice skating and feeling like no one can catch me.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Holding a baby until it falls asleep.
That is my list, what is yours??

this is so beautiful! i have to go now but i will definitely find this and comment the next time i’m online.:) one of my favorite of yours is holding a baby while they fall asleep. they are so perfect and innocent and brand new! 🙂
This is an unbelievable list, mysmilecoversalot… nice! I’ll have to work on mine… but you’ve definitely created an inspiring post. Thank you for writing this!
tomorrow. 🙂
i will make a list too because i’m a pessimist who’s trying to change.
– a perfect, beautiful day
– having a great conversation
– being noticed/complimented. one day last year and ol man told me he loved my smile and to take care of my teeth. i’ll never forget that day.
– happy moments with family or friends
– being successful at something, making the right call, little wins / little victories
– hearing a new song that you just love
– laughing at something hilarious, either in real life or a show/movie
– great food
– a great relationship, if i ever have one in my life. still waiting.
– being in my bed
that’s really about it… 🙁
It doesn’t matter if it is short! you just proved that things do make you happy! focus on those things and it will make a hugee difference 🙂 try finding something each day that makes you smile, you could add that to the listt! thank you for making a list 🙂
I want to try being friendly to one stranger each day. It’s not easy for me and I often avoid it.
The sad part about my list though is I really think that’s about it. There isn’t much in this world that makes me happy. If I listed things that made me sad/upset/angry it would be extremely long. I’m full of hatred.
That’s no fun 🙁 I’m sorry, I hope you find more happiness! But you are doing more than others, you are trying 🙂
i do try.. thanks for the feedback. i wish i had more encouragement like this!
– doing something for someone else and realizing how happy it made them:
this, sometimes
– popular songs parodies, mood uplifting songs
– interviews of interesting people who have a sense of humour
– be around someone w/ an appeasing vibe
– get some ‘brains’ (just being honest)
