Things we can do to make us happy.

I put on my new blue jacket & went down to the water & enjoyed the tugboats, cold fresh air, clouds & the birds. Oh & the sun felt so good on my back-simple pleasures

Eat a chocolate croissant while I am on this under 1000 calorie diet. Yum!

Make little catnip bags and watch my cats play with them

A doctor once told me " Do something you enjoy "
It distracts you from your bipolar symptoms

fingers!

Bringing order out of chaos, even in a small space, helps me. When I'm strugglingI don't keep up with housecleaning. Getting all the dishes done, countertop cleaned, floor swept feels good and the improvement to my environment makes me feel less, oh, incapable.

Curling back up in bed under the quilts with some classic sci-fi

Good heavens - I'm so glad I found you all; you are an inspiration. My bedroom is, well, not clean, but better. There are visible surfaces and I can close the closet, and I do feel better.

I'd love to share the happiness; there are five loads of laundry in the hall now, and the laundry is only two floors down. If you feel a need to accomplish something, I'm sure we can make an arrangement.

Playing the Beatles Rubber Soul album really loud & singing along

Watching old Bugs Bunny cartoons

Chocolate...

Making it to both of my mental health meetings this week. I also went and sat by the river and relaxed.

Cuddled with my pups

Shopping, getting my hair done, Jamberry Nails all make me happy

Reading good poetry-soothing to the soul

The best I've felt all week: a kid in the pizza store had a credit card that wouldn't go through, so I paid for his slice. For $2, I felt good for an hour.

Three days ago I walked past a homeless guy who asked for a quarter. I reached into my pocket for a $1, and pulled out a $5 I didn't know I had...so I gave it to him.

I am not a generous person and this is the first homeless guy I've seen in a year. I didn't do it because of that. I did it because I felt bad and I wanted to feel good. Worked like a charm.

i won't do it often - I'm still cheap as heck - but I want to remember to give unexpectedly, from time to time, because it feels so good.

Taking care of my car!! Today I gave Subie some love. Gave her a good carwash, vacuumed, she is getting an oil change right now, and I began the process of getting her body work done. She is so happy now!
I bought a book on my kindle - Recovering from Complex PTSD - and began reading it.
Had therapy yesterday.
Faced my fears with my co-worker after making a total mess of the relationship this past weekend.
Also, this is really silly but eating 3 meals a day and a snack instead of trying to starve myself has really helped.
I've also quit drinking.
Went to church this morning and going to Illumination service tonight.
Going to mindfulness tomorrow morning.
Might work out tonight.
Might cook myself dinner.
Been working regularly.
AND went to visit my Christian friends from my old town this past weekend!

Life is going so good!!!

Maybe the full moon... Maybe the depression has finally lifted.
I even handled a setback really well today. Normally I would have freaked out.
Maybe it's also getting meds worked out finally, although I do still want to try adding an antidepressant.

What a great post idea!! Thanks OP!!!

I love cycling and composing/recording music.

Petting my cat and hearing her purr
It never fails to make me happy

Buffy marathon today woohooo!!!

I bought a bag of almond filled pastry. I went off my diet and ate some of them. Boy, that was good!

Purchasing garden soil getting ready to prune & plant.

Biking always puts me in a good mood.

Nice weather this weekend so far I was able to take a nice walk along the river today. Wife and I plan to ride bikes on Monday since she does not have to work. I am loving life right now.

Beautiful walk at the beach add meditation...

Bird watching & identifying unusual ones in my bird book.
