Happiness is ………………. #WriteOverthe Weekend
Raindrops and roses and whiskers on kittens trilled Maria, the young novice in Sound of Music.
- While raindrops and whiskers on kittens don’t make the cut, roses definitely make me happy. Especially those huge big ones, redolent with the fragrance of rose ( naturally). In fact, all flowers make me happy and even spying those flower sellers at the traffic signals make me want to reach out and grab a few blooms.
- A brisk walk with a gentle breeze early in the morning makes me happy. I find a morning walk invigorates me and keeps me fresh all day long.
- While I am far from athletic, a good yoga stretch makes me happy too. I feel great when I touch my head to my knees or do a shoulder stand.
- Opening a new book.
- A big fat diary at the beginning of the year.
- A good conversation with an interesting person
- A rainbow in the sky.
- A huge, big, healthy tree with a large canopy.
- A big hairy dog with a warm, wet,nose
- An afternoon snooze on my sofa.
- A movie in a theatre.
- A nicely told story in a well crafted book.
- A long drive to nowhere.
- A box of assorted chocolates
- A lazy day doing nothing
- A clean, tidy, cupboard
- A hot cup of soup and a crisp buttered toast on a cold winter’s day or a wet monsoon afternoon.
- The smell of good coffee brewing makes me happy.
- I feel happy when I get a whiff of Coco Chanel my favourite perfume .
- Songs by Abba make me happy and I can’t help singing along with my feet tapping.
- A big bowl of ice cream
- A postcard or letter from a friend. Even an email makes my spirits soar.
- Fresh clothes from the dhobi
- A nicely made bed with a soft pillow and a cuddly blanket.
- A creamy body lotion, scented soap and face cream.
- Shoes , shoes and shoes
- Loafing around in the shops
- Trying out new restaurants
- Fresh fruits of the season
- Well tailored clothes.

These 30 things make me happy but there are many, many more which I would not like to share but savour in privacy.
If we rank the list across any bloggers, I believe that the aroma of the coffee will be on the top.
Yes I tend to agree with you . Coffee seems to have a universal appeal
Enjoy reading your list. No better than snuggling with a book, morning walk and yoga. Lovely!
It is actually interesting to know what makes one happy. Very few people can list it down. Congratulations for listing 30 of them.
It was a tough task I assure you . Most of the things that make me happy are food related
loved this post. I had written a similar post quite sometime back listing things that make me happy. Though my list was too long 🙂

Wow I see a lot in common.. Most of these make me happy to like” Shoes shoes shoes, a movie in a theater, a conversation with an intelligent person, the aroma of Coco Chanel, this brought a smile on my face
Yes I think we do have a lot in common !
Loved reading your list here, Sunita. I, too, love a clean bed with fluffy pillows to hug…I don’t use a pillow under my head, but love hugging one, especially if I am reading a good book, or watching a movie. And, those freshly ironed clothes…ahh! And, chocolates…an entire box of those which I won’t share with anyone! 😛
High five!!
High five ! Shilpa . Glad to see you around !
