Today is International Day Of Happiness so I thought I'd do something a little different and make a little list of some of the things that make me really, really happy.
1. Looking at the photograph above while listening to this song and reliving the exact moment I realised how much beauty there is in the world (and how much I love bushwalking).
2. Paul and basically everything he does, even when he's in a bad mood. I love the fact that we mostly just sit on the couch watching movies in our pyjamas when we're not working, I love the fact that I'm lucky enough to work with him because we make such an excellent team and I love how happy it makes me to see him happy or excited.
3. Making wishes on fallen eyelashes.
4. The feeling I get in my stomach when I'm excited about something. It's like a large balloon is being inflated inside me and I just swell with happiness and I get really emotional.
5. Taking photographs and just knowing that they are going to turn out amazing.
6. Rainy mornings spent in bed reading a book or watching far too many episodes of my favourite TV shows whist drinking tea and eating pb+j on toast. Preferably sountracked by Julia Stone.
7. When Paul's cats give me cuddles, which is kind of rare because they're not very cuddly cats.
8. Parcels that come in the mail. It's like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one!
9. Drinking green tea in my matching teacup, saucer and teapot.
10. Reminiscing on old photographs, with old friends.
11. Running at 7am to music that gives you goosebumps.
12. The way animals know when you're not feeling well and they give you extra cuddles and attention.

Make sure you leave me a list of the things that make you happy in the comments section below and I might just publish them on the blog next week!

What a lovely post!I might even make a post similar to yours, this is such a nice idea :) I didn't even know there was a day of happiness. Well, have a happy day of happiness! :D
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to steal! I stole the title from a blog I read years ago where she did a whole lot of happy lists!
DeleteDesigner Skyline! wow, that brought back memories from high school. I am happy for that! Thank you :)
ReplyDeletep.s. things that make me happy - nice smelling candles, good thai food, and warm cuddles :)
DeleteOwl City makes me feel so nostalgic. Designer Skyline was the song that came on my iPod when I saw that view and it was magical.
DeleteThai food is the best!!
I think my list would be 99% the same as yours! Except I would replace number 11 with the smell of suncream :)
ReplyDeleteRachel, that's such an interesting thing to make you happy!!
DeleteI didn't know today was international day of happiness! Things that make me happy: sleep, stargazing in random fields, laughing about nothing in particular, mountain peaks, vanilla latte's and chocolate croissants, driving on endless highways, reckless adventures.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz! Sleep makes me happy to and so does the idea of stargazing in fields, preferably on the back of a ute with a mattress to lie on.
