What Makes Me Happy

Tuesday, October 30, 2012


I have many blessings in my life to be happy enough for 6.7 people, but sometimes I just find myself in the dumps. I hate that feeling. You're feeling so low that there doesn't seem to be any way out of the darkness. I wanted to write a post today about some of the things that make me happy. I also want to know what makes you happy. 


  • Brendan Nelson
  • My puppies
  • Shopping trips with my Mom
  • Long talks with my Dad about nothing at all
  • Watching movies with my sister
  • Pasta
  • Wine
  • Diet Coke
  • Sleeping 
  • Comfortable pillows
  • Freshly washed sheets
  • The feeling after I just shave my legs
  • Earl Grey tea
  • Uncontrollable laughter with my friends
  • Golfing
  • Reading a great non-fiction novel
  • Green chili
  • Baths
  • Colorado 
  • Laying on a beach chair in Mexico
  • Going out to dinner
  • Wine (did I mention that already?)
  • Dressing up
  • Snail Mail
  • A cold glass of milk
  • Fall 
  • Getting my nails done
  • Shoes
  • Makeup
  • Hoodies and yoga pants
I would love for you to share with me what makes YOU happy. ---Feel free to post on your blog, post on Facebook, share on Twitter/Instagram with #makesmehappy, or if you'd like to share what makes you happy here... e-mail me your post with a photo of yourself (elephantstrunk 42 at gmail.com).

Remember- count your blessings and no matter how dark it may seem...you always have something you can be happy about.
