20 Things That Make Me Happy

I have seen a few of these tags done before and I like the challenge. I have been doing a lot of thinking about what makes me happy as I have been working on my Life Coaching series and this is what I have come up with.



In no particular order . . .




#20Autumn - or at least that season down here in Florida where the weather cools down just enough to the point when you can open the doors and windows and let in the nice cool air.



#19Books - Sometimes you just can't beat a good book and a nice relaxing evening



#18Chocolate - Yes, this means I am a stereotypical woman but if that means I can have my chocolate then so be it.



#18Trivia - I am not ashamed to release my inner nerd every once in a while (especially once a week)



#17Family Meals - I have fond memories of having dinners with my family and the close family friends



#16A Good Discussion - those times when you just sit down and analyze things with someone and talk through critical life questions and philosophical ideas



#15A Cup Of Hot Tea - Yum!



#14Movie Nights - I love getting comfortable with some junk food and the ones I love



#13Creating Art - so cathartic



#12 Music - It amazes me how much can come from listening to music



#11Staring At The Scenery - looking at a mountain or large body of water, gazing into a sunset, even just looking out over a field



#10Helping Other People - this is why I love life coaching so much. I love to help other people find epiphanies in their own lives and feel better.



#9Christmas - I look forward to this time every year because something I absolutely love doing is giving people things. I love the looks on their faces when they are so happy to receive something that I gave them (though sometimes this is not the case . . . ).



#8Gilmore Girls - Yes, i know. A TV show shouldn't have that much control over my life and it doesn't but something about catching this show when it comes on that makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside. 1 part nostalgia to 2 parts entertainment.



#7Food - not much more needs to be said here



#6Vacations - though this would not have been an answer back in my high anxiety days, traveling and seeing the world makes me feel more cultured and curious to see what is out there.



#5Clothes and Beauty Products - vain but enjoyable. Carly Simon wouldn't approve. I like the concept of pairing things artistically and messing around with make up.



#4Love - sounds cheesy but the concept of love in the world is what keeps my faith in humanity alive. AND according to the Beatles, it is all you need.



#3Animals - my cat sitting on my chest in the morning nuzzling my face just makes me feel so important and loved



#2Cleaning - don't judge but man I love to clean (though sometimes you wouldn't know it by looking at my apartment)



#1 Sweet Tea - maybe it is because I grew up with relatives in the South or maybe it is because Chic-fil-a has created heaven in a foam cup but sometimes a large sweet tea is just what my day needs to warm my soul
