What Makes You Happy?

Have you ever noticed that some people just can't be happy. They complain about this or they complain about that. They whine, they complain, they whine, they complain. I've been around those people and to be honest with you it can be quite exhausting. Whiners and complainers can suck the happiness right out of you. And let's face. Life is too short to have that kind of attitude. So I say to all the whiners and complainers of the world "What makes you happy? Anything? Anything at all?" I think if we all looked deep down inside of ourselves we would find something that makes us happy. It could be anything. A favorite song, movie, book. A memory from childhood. It could be raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Yeah, Yeah I know those are "favorite things", but isn't it our favorite things that make us smile, that make us happy?



What makes me happy? Honestly, just pulling into my driveway makes me happy. I look forward to coming home and getting greeted at the door by two fuzzy little creatures dying to give me sloppy wet doggie kisses. My husband makes me happybecause he can make me laugh no matter what. My family makes me happy because no matter what I do, they will be there for me. And my friends make me happy because they put up with all my crap and still like me for who I am.



So this week I want you all to ask yourselves, "What makes me happy?" Enjoy finding your happiness!
