What Things in Life Make You Feel Good and Bring You Happiness?

I feel happiest when I've helped a neighbor or friend in some way. It can be simply changing a smoke alarm battery, or if they don't have a computer, looking up something for them on my cell to answer them immediately. Or, going with them to a dental appt. Or, listening to them speak of an anxiety, and putting a positive spin on it.

It makes me feel they have given me a gift, too.
Sounds so corny, but that is what makes me happiest lately.
 
Kittehs!

Looking out the window and seeing breathtaking beauty. It took me a while to get used to this place. With no scenery or architecture, it seemed so boring. But the subtle beauty is there.

People who actually like me.

Learning new things.

Still looking to fill my cup. I'm enjoying reading everyone's comments.
 
- The company of (in no particular order) my dogs, friends and family.

- Nature generally, in the garden and on walks with my dogs and wife.

- Good novels and music.

- Learning about the world, thinking about our place in it and discussing that with others.

- Looking at art and making my garden, the only creative expression I still engage in.
 
I know this is going to sound silly but,
If I sculpt, I love it so much, I could sculpt from morning till night without a break.
If I do TM, (transcendental meditation) I NEVER want to come out of it.
If I take a shower, I want to stay in the shower for hours.
If I read a book, I can't get enough of it.
If I'm designing something, if I'm painting, it seems lately anything I do,
I don't want it to ever stop!
Life, I guess, just lovin LIFE!
 
- Spending time in my garden during the warm summer months tending to the growing veggies.
- Working out with tri-weekly 20km bike rides along the river shore path... during the winter months, I'm unloading
a truck/wk for a local retailer as exercise... got to stay active!
- When I'm working on a freelance project...
- When I'm working on anything creative...
- When I'm building outdoor projects...
- When I'm working on a glass project...
- At the moment... finally, proofing a word puzzle book before it gets ready for publishing
 
Feeding the squirrels, being out in nature and seeing the critters running to and fro.
Having a mother/daughter day of shopping, hanging out, dinner and conversation.
Shopping for, and delivering tinned goods for the Food Bank.
Family and friends .. and of course, this wonderful forum :)
 
Well done Art, Literature, and Movies.

What do I consider well done? That which captures reality so well that I'm moved by the observations that someone had made about those realities. They reveal things to me that were always there but I hadn't noticed before.

This is the thing that gets me excited. To realize that there are people out there with an amazing talent of incredible observation. It's exciting to realize that we haven't seen everything. There's so much more that we missed.
