I was having what I call a “down-day” the other day and in an effort to focus on positive things, I put together a list of things that make me happy. There are people in the world that make me happy, but I wanted to focus on me; not other people that affect my happiness. Here’s what I came up with so far:
- The first sip of a fresh cup of Earl Grey.
- Making a real connection with another person.
- Understanding new things.
- Completing a project.
- Cooking a new recipe and having it turn out well.
- Music
- Old movies
- A good book
- A campfire
- Curling up on the couch under a blanket
It’s not a very long list, and the things on it aren’t complicated by any stretch of the imagination, but I can say with 100% honesty that they things on this list make me happy. The list isn’t in any particular order other than this is the order I came up with it.
