Day 79: The Best Things In Life Are Free

25.11.2009 at 17:18 · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: happiness, simplicity, stress

A couple of weeks ago I sent out an email to the volunteers and support staff here. I had been having a rough week and I knew a few others in my community were also having a hard time. The body of the email was an invitation to list some simple things that always made you happy. They were things that, though they might not take stress away, they definitely add comfort or contentedness on top of it. Well, after thinking about that list, I found myself pretty energized. And finding out what other little joys people found through the day both fed my strong sense of curiosity and added to my joy.

So I figured I’d extend the invitation a little further.

Here are seven things that always make me happy. Feel free to think about your seven. No need to reply with a comment… though like I said, I’m curious bordering on nosy. So if you wanna satiate that for me, reply away.

1. the sun – I love the feeling of sunlight  on bare skin. It is absolutely my favorite facet of the human experience.

2. nintendo – What can I say. I like mario. And when I say nintendo, I mean nintendo. None of that play station, x-box stuff. (unless it’s Soul Calibuuuurrrr!!!)

3. Choreographing and choreography – I love dancing. I am IN love with choreographing and learning choreography. It’s like being both an art lover and a painter. <3

4. Seeing older couples holding hands – or anything short of intense octogenarian PDA

5. Physical challenges – I like to move it move it.

6. Making/Eating food

7. Cuddling and Snuggling – yeah sounds cliche, but dude cute cuddly kids, pets, people, teddies, anything but kittens really. Makes me happy.

 

Out.
