ThingsThat Make Me Happy As I Age

[Lon]

Things that I did routinely when younger make me happy when they happen now.
Getting a good nights sleep is on the top of the list. Doesn't happen often but when it does o am I a happy guy. Same with bowel movements.
Unscrewing the lid on a jar of pickles without having to use a special device makes me very happy.Solving computer glitches makes me estatic.
only needing to pee three times when asleep is a real joy.
Making a doctors appointment on the phone with my lousy hearing and getting the date and time correct puts me in a state of bliss
Oh My. There are many more things but I will stop here for now.

I have learned to tolerate fools a bit better as I have got older, personal improvement always makes me feel good.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Being in a loving home with my two furbabies and my hubby. Having pretty good health so far, no complaints. Watching the wildlife and nature, appreciate it all more now that I'm older.

 

[Wilberforce]

I understand that well, you are were I was 8 years ago

 

[Ken N Tx]

Awaking in the morning is #1

 

[dog lover]

Oh, I don't have time for fools anymore. I have a much greater appreciation for nature and it's beauty. A good night's sleep - alas, not today though, I got up at 2 am and am done sleeping for the night. When I make it to 4 am, or even 5 am sometimes, I am ecstatic. And in the winter - sunshine makes me happy. Come to think of it - in the summer, too.

 

[Pappy]

Once in a blue moon I sleep through the night. That is a feel good thing for me. Hardly ever happens though.
Enjoying a delivered hot pizza is a real good thing.
Still being with my wife, after 60 years, is at the top of my list.

 

[HazyDavey]

I get a happy buzz when I get through to a real person on the phone within a minute or two..

 

[Jackie22]

...begin able to work outside, watching my grandchildren grow and learn, seeing my children when they are happy and content, exploring new places.

 

[debbie in seattle]

Not having to drive to work in bad weather!

 

[WhatInThe]

Knowing I'm 1/2 way done

 

[Capt Lightning]

Being able to 'rise to the occasion ' without the need for medication :eagerness:

 

[Carla]

Realizing I'm not alone in my feelings about certain things--all the changes occurring around us! And still being able to do the necessary things to run a household.

 

[jujube]

Waking up on Monday morning without the dread of having to go back to work.

Every day being a Saturday.

Having lots of time to do things. Shall I do it today? Naw, I'll do it tomorrow or maybe next week.....

 

[SeniorBird]

Retirement.

 

[Wilberforce]

Funny, that is the thing I hate most, I loved to work

 

[Ken N Tx]

Being able to 'rise to the occasion ' without the need for medication :eagerness:

Reminds of the old saying "what use to watch me shave now watches me tie my shoes"..

 

[Ken N Tx]

Retirement.

 

[QuickSilver]

Ok.... I'll show a bit of my vanity here... It makes me happy to watch people's faces when I tell them I'm 68.. Hard work and investments pay off.

 

[Wilberforce]

Good for you Quicksilver..

When I shop with my daughter folks think we are sisters which is sort of funny.We both have long hair although mine is usually up while hers is down. She is prematurely gray and my hair is only just starting to get a few grays so I guess I look younger than my years and she looks older.

1) getting to sleep well at nights.
2) waking up in the morning and enjoying the sunshine without having to worry about being late
3) I can get to take care of my cats full time
There are a lot more on my list but these three are the main ones

 

[Wilberforce]

being in a shop and a baby in a buggy focuses on me and starts to giggle and smile. wonderful
