I'm not sure if there is a forum like this and I apologize if there is but I thought this would be a fun thing to start Just post things that make you happy and/or make life better!

The few things that make me feel a bit happy is ;
- Receiving mail
- When the sun is out just right and makes for perfect pictures
- Passing a test I was sure I was going to fail
- Shopping
- When my dog cuddles up to me or naps with me
- Rainy days
- Good books with wonderful endings
- Long, deep conversations where you get everything off your chest
- Thrift shopping
- Summer nights

So, what makes you happy? (:

when a critical patient is doing better at the end of my shift than they were at the beginning

Spending time with my dogs always cheers me up. It is pure joy to play with my puppy.

Payday and the fact that I might be moved somewhere else away from my boss

my pets :-)

Depends on my mood.

Sometimes an adrenaline kick from a carousel or similar.
Sometimes a good cuppa tea talking with my friend about alien life.
Sometimes watching a good documentary.
Sometimes singing.
Sometimes having written a good poem.
Sometimes being told I'm smart. (Yea narcissist warning... LOL)
My kitties.
Sometimes... nothing.

When the sun shines through the clouds after a rain, its so beautiful. good, black garden soil. predawn. the innocent giggle of a toddler. when your child looks at you, really looks and you can see each others soul, any one of these makes me stop what I'm doing, for it is in those moments that my idea of Heaven has touched the Earth, and I can see, feel, take in the beauty of the world. In those moments, nothing else matters. In that moment, I truly feel peace

A good meal
Phone calls from friends.

I am happy when my pets are happy.
Cooking makes me happy.
When I can open windows (finally), and let some fresh air IN.
When entire rooms in my house are orderly, and clean.
When I know I have really helped somebody.
When I hear from a beloved friend.
When the grass is just that certain colour green just for a short while, in the Spring...and when the trees burst into leaf.

I totally agree! I will add...

When I can spend the day outside in the sunshine by the river.

Let me try:

My girlfriend
Taking a walk when it is raining
Playing my bass guitar
Spending the whole day relaxing playing video games
Helping someone out just to be nice
