What Makes Me Happy? – Week 3

The task this week was to make a list of what truly makes me happy.  All week long I have thought about this list and every day came up with something new.  In order to become happier it is suggested that you evaluate what makes you happy and then try to increase those things or focus more on those areas in your life.  So here it goes…

• tickling Gabby until she is cracking up uncontrollably
• reading a great book {one that pulls me into the story}
• pinching Noah’s cheeks and kissing his face
• completely inappropriate comedies such as The Hangover {I’m literally laughing now while I think about several scenes that come to mind}
• Flip Flops
• getting a pedicure and acrylic nails
• bonding with T while watching some of our favorite television shows
• wearing a comfy sundress
• holding Noah’s hand
• traveling {anywhere}
• Butterflies
• swimming laps in a pool alone {no kids to bounce beach ball off my head}
• laying under the stars gazing
• laughing
• Broadway musicals
• watching a musician play live acoustic guitar
• writing a great blog post
• reading great blog posts, especially funny ones
• finishing a paragraph in my memoir
• acting completely silly with my kids
• mentoring teens
• volunteering
• making someone else smile
• having my back scratched
• getting a massage
• when T and I laugh out loud at something we do or say accidentally {being able to laugh at one another without harm is the best}
• great photography
• MUSIC {always say music is my mojo}

Although I’m sure I missed something and there is no rule I can’t add more later, I think this is a pretty good list to focus on.  Don’t you?  What makes you truly happy? Share with me in the comments.
