What makes you happy?

[Surviving]

Ok, so this might be a hard question. But I think that it might help us. Alot of us find it really hard to think positive and happy thoughts when we are feeling down. We then get tempted to do things that we shouldn't do. I thought that it might be a good idea to list down here something that makes us happy. Then maybe when we are down, we can pop in here, have a look at the list, and it might trigger the happy thoughts. I'll go first...



My wedding day

(I'm smiling already just thinking about that day!)

Volleyball? I love playing volleyball. I haven't done it for years though, but I use to be on the ladies volleyball team, and we were 3rd in the division!

Something else that makes me happy...achieving something on my to-do list. (I like to see my list get smaller!)

This is not childish...it gives you security, which is very important.

Hi, I'm new...

What makes me happy... well, when I remember to pray for those who hurt me to be blessed... and then how much real love I have found through Christ and his people, and I especially Praise God for my wonderful husband, too.

It can get better all... never let go!

Hello LightDancer. Welcome to the forum. That is probably the best happiness we can find...the love of Jesus Christ.

Having a nice talk or spending a good time with a friend (Rare but it is nice).

Hanging out with Jesus and listening to one of my favourite sermons (I have a few on tape).

Favourite music

Being able to really relax at the end of a long day, when I come home and someone else has cooked and I can put my feet up and watch my favourite show on TV.

Sitting at the beach drinking coffee and watching the water and or the sunset

Spending time with old friends

Making new friends

Knitting and gardening (my two new hobbies - I am loving having a hobby to just chill out with).

Getting a massage - I have a brilliant massage therapist.

Playing with my nieces and nephews and seeing them smile

I've done all of these this week.

Great thread.
