Things That Make you Happy.....

Recently, I read a magazine article about happiness--The question was 

"Can you list five (5) things that made you happy today?" 

Well, can you?  The author of the article had a hard time finding three things that made her happy during the day.  Can it really be that hard to find five things that make you happy during your day?  

If you go searching the internet for ideas of what makes you happy--you'll find this:

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” - Dalai Lama

Happiness is subjective. Only you can decide what makes you happy. No one else. Have you ever sat down and really thought about the things that make you happy? I'm not sure if I have. And that's sad because there seem to be so many things to be happy about in our world. 

Isn't it interesting that you can find all sorts of advice on making yourself happy, but it boils down to WHAT makes you Happy!!

So, off I go to think about what made me happy today:

1. A good morning and a smile from my husband
2. A delicious cup of coffee--in fact, two delicious cups of coffee
3. A chance to sew on a project
4. Reading a book
5. Listening to music as I sew or stitch

Now, each day as I prepare to rest my head on my fluffy

pillow, I'll work on my list of Happy things!
