Watching the birds eat the seeds I put out for them makes me happy 😊

I am happy I do not have any worries or major health issues at 68. No meds and can still run up and down stairs everyday. No pain! Thank you, Sir, for all you do

I totally agree.. Years ago I had a strange health issue that robbed me of my feelings of basic comfort.. Through this I really found out what TRUE HAPPINESS is. True happiness not going on vacations or buying things, it’s our basic peace and comfort. It’s waking up in the morning and sitting with a cup of coffee enjoying a quiet morning. It’s being healthy and knowing our children are healthy..It’s having a relationship with God. Those things are what TRULY make us happy, but you don’t know that until it’s taken from you..

I'm so happy to cuddle with my 9 yr old son. So glad he still wants to cuddle with me.

I spent the last two years so depressed after a divorce, death of my father, and my daughter leaving for college. I could not find my happiness. I started to just sit with my English breakfast tea in the morning. Grateful for the warm cup of tea. Sitting with my blind adopted chihuahua in front of the fireplace. It’s hard when you’re so lonely and can’t find happiness in your day.
I missed my old life so much. But there is a Light at the end of the tunnel. Keep going. There are people who love you and need you. And yes, I would start my day with a hot shower while I listened to Joel Osteen or someone spiritual on YouTube. Keep going !

The small things in life make me happy like seeing a smile on a child’s face. Looking at the different phases of the moon in the sky. Just saying hello to a stranger. Doing good deeds for someone else. Dr. Amen I think the world of you and I would love to meet you. I respect your knowledge and view on mental health. You are so right.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been homeless with my meds to clear my mind. Now I have a nice home and now on my meds and happy to lay my head on safe clean home with my pets with me and not in foster care

Every day I wake up I'm grateful and if the sun is out it's even better. The birds signing spring is coming flowers are blooming. It's a beautiful world thank God ❤ I live with chronic pain and if I have no pain even better. When you've been sick you appreciate it when you feel better. You really don't know till you lose your health. Until you've walked a mile in my shoes. Life is precious 💙

I always say this, and people always look at me like I'm crazy. Celebrate the small wins and always have an attitude of gratitude.

I love that when I come home from work and jump into my jammies, the feeling of being in my comfortable jammies just makes me very, very content and happy!!❤

My toddler. Her laugh is the joy of my life right now.

The latest thing that makes me happy, is donating and clearing my belongings out for my move. When I move into my new home I plan to have minimal things and I adore that. Thank you Sir.

When my son surprised me and brought my grandson to a lunch date we had planned. He had brought his girlfriend with him. It made me very happy to see them. I am 82 and just lost my husband and finding joy in little things like this.

I'm the lead caregiver for my family. One disabled sister and the other is my 12yo Mastiff who's about 120 yo in dog yrs. They both are happy I'm here w/them and THAT MAKES ME SO VERY HAPPY!

[ArtByHazel]

I’m so happy with my micro-moments like waking up, getting things done, walking. cooking, eating healthy, resting, being present, dancing, and creating art.❤

Once when i was in a difficult time in my life, I was driving home after working a 12 hour day at my stressful job, there was a beautiful full moon just as I was driving through a scenic area. I've remembered that small moment of happiness for the rest of my life.

Yesterday i saw a beautiful sunrise and was able to enjoy it with my wonderful husband. My life is so much happier and less stressful now, but i still treasured that moment of happiness.
