What makes you happy?

I realized I’ve felt so stuck lately.. like years. Career was backtracked due to where I live. Being mom makes me happy but as you are not needed so much you need to find what makes you happy besides mom.

Lots of things are fun and enjoyable. Social time, meeting people, friends and dating. But I suppose being Cap dominant that stagnated career is tough. I’m studying my ass off and not dating or talking to guys unless they are friends & am so much happier. Scheduled my first test & somehow it feels so exciting & like the options are endless. It’s a lot of work!!! And I’ve been exhausted too 😂😂 but I feel back to myself, the person I was prior to moving to this place in the middle of nowhere. Interesting how much really is related to options & not being stuck. Oh that might be a Saggie thing too 🙃 and my adult kids are the bestest & the loves of my life seriously! 🙂

Someone asked why I wasn’t just coasting to retirement recently… hmmmmm I don’t think I can do that.. 🤪

What makes you happy?

Posted by poppyflower

To see other people smile

That of course too. For a bit..

The sound of a turbo-charged diesel.

Really tho, sometimes its the frame of mind, keeping focus on all that one has and being grateful for it.

Food

Scrolling the internet

Traveling

Trying something new

Talking smack on zoom calls while on mute

A growing savings account

Anytime I see Christmas lights

Santa!!! 🎅🏾

The arts

Not reading your threads. 😝

Haha 😂

Actively improving my mind, body and soul, really creates a solid happiness place for me.

creativity and constant flow of ideas and concepts for my brain to feed on.

yoga and eating clean for my body.

soul is mostly mediation, gratitude and exploration

I feel like my happiness is depended on me. I love my kid, and my family, friend, job. but those things create more of an awesome experience for me to thrive in when i'm at my best. because if i'm not at my best all of those things can be stressful and draining. Not always but they can be that.

I HATE white chocolate!

I LOVE the other two though. ❤️

There's a lot of passion in that answer. You REALLY do LOVE chocolate.

Your answer is....acceptable. One gold star for you Sir⭐ (Bing!)

When I find a parking spot close to the door that's not fucking handicapped or for pregnant moms.

When a checkout line has no one in it and I get to pay without waiting.

I'm a simple creature really.

When I'm late for work and get all the green lights. Now tell me that doesn't make you happy, too!

Pregnant mom parking is a thing?

A thing. I need to stuff a pillow under my shirt.

Lol! Would’ve been nice when I was waddling around pregnant but no such thing back then..

Right? Back in the day pregnant bitches had to walk the same as the rest of us.

Now they have Employee of the Month parking, Veterans Parking, Families With Small Children parking, Store Delivery parking, Prescription Delivery parking. I shit you not. I'm over it.

You forgot Police Parking, electric car parking

I would say animal rescue stories. I don't love seeing dogs, cats, or animals in general left alone in the cold with no help. I do love watching people rescue animals in these situations though. A dark side of me sometimes think people take advantage of these situations just for the likes and publicity, but watching a helpless animal fully recover and be healthy/ happy actually makes me feel something inside for once.

What about "I'm Having A Really Bad Day" parking—

Now they have Employee of the Month parking...

What makes me happy is to bring happiness to my friends and family. I have plenty to go around and can be annoyingly jovial most times.

Personally though-

Traveling

Photographing for the memories

Massages

Bubble baths

Wine Tasting- I live near Napa

I am happy when I give back to the community or help someone in need. I am happy when I am out with people, having a good time. I am happy when I create through work or hobbies. I am happy when someone praises me. When I see my cat, when a dog comes up to me wagging its tail...when I see kind children or people in love. I am happy when it snows, happy drinking coffee by the sea...

I thought I’d add other things that make me happy.

When I see the ocean

Cardio & the feeling of my pounding heart

Hiking

Exploring

Spending time with my kiddos

Those texts my daughter sends me “I miss you Mommy”

When my son asks if I’m okay.

When I’m in a relationship that just feels right & can be me.

Laughing

Live music

Road trips and cranking the music

Puzzles

When I try new things, and make progress.. like omg I did that

Time with friends where we talk about real things.

Going to the theatre .. movies or plays

I’m super grateful for what I have. A little surprised I’m so excited to work for getting my license 😂😂 but I suppose it’s about progress & openings not really about happiness 🤷‍♀️

At this point in time rn:

Sleep/lounging in bed for endless hours

Cuddles

Good food

Alone time

When I'm not sleep deprived and on break:

Traveling

Getting gussied up for events

Going on walks/exercising

Extensive self-care

I wish I could get full 8-9 hours of sleep per night and still have time to do everything 😭

Hot, long shower and jumping naked under fresh washed sheets. Mmm 🥰

that's peak happiness right there 😊😊

Telling jokes - the stuff I find funniest most people don't laugh with me at.

Prolonged Marathon sex sessions - no artistry in being able to "pop" multiple times, more fun to drag it out for hours and piss the other person off.

Listening to music I like.

Spending time with family.

Painting faces.

Finishing a book

Talking bollox and calling it an Intelligent conversation.

Bloody steak and triple cooked chips.

Baking cakes

I like travelling, but it really is the destination and not the journey. Ever been on the tube? - about as much fun as circumcising yourself with a rusty bread knife.

“more fun to drag it out for hours and piss the other person off”

Lol

I was with two lovers that did this ... both Scorp moons!

My new log effect elec fire that the couriers sent to the wrong address but a nice man brought it to me

He says “Merry Christmas....enjoy”

Awwww my own personal 🎅♥️

Getting into bed when it's chilly. Its so much more comfortable that way.

Fairy lights, especially at Christmas

✨Twinkle✨

What makes you happy?

When I have spare time, simple things like being able to watch TV, play sudoku, play some crosswords or even walk my dog...the simple things 🙂
