What makes you happy?

[Ali1976]

Hi Guys,

I kinda got this idea from a work orientation I had recently. It's a bit a off the purpose of this forum but I like to keep people in good spirits. So my question is to you "What makes you happy"?

[tickledpink]

Peace and quiet makes me happy, but, as we all know, happiness can be taken away. Therefore, God gives me everlasting joy.

Having a piece of mind!

Knowing that all things are possible through JESUS!

Knowing my sister, mother, nieces, nephew, and others close and dear to me are safe!

I am most happy when I am in the Presence of the Lord.

I am most happy when I learn something new and now that I am reading the contemporary English version of the bible I find myself always getting happy about meanings that I am 'just' learning but that other people have been talking about for a long time - No there is no shame to my game, I am just starting to read the bible and get a better understanding of self, the world around me and people in it!!

I do have to agree with the piece of mind bit, to know that I and my family and friends are safe, is always a good feeling. I also love to be quiet and alone (not lonely), I love to relax the mind while bathing in a bubble bath and enjoying slow jams (old and new). And on the stressful days when you come in from work and you have to take care of self, I love to be surrounded by scented candles, and just chill!! And lastly Yoga is the best treatment for a stressed mind and body!!

Girl, you had me worried for a minute there...I thought you had done lost your mind!!

Since I started this thread I'll respond too.

I agree that through the spirit and wisdom my personal saviour Jesus Christ I will forever have joy. As you said happiness can be taken away and God knows I believe that but when I am happy the most is when I am with my family, with kids, singing, and making others happy. I can be confused going insane but when I have those things my life seems complete if only for a while.


When I think of Jesus and what he's done for me I am forever filled with joy.

[AKAtude]

I agree with everything that has been said thus far- JESUS, family, friends. I also would like to add that being outdoors surrounded by nature with my two dogs has a calming effect on me at the end of the day.

Gummy bears, kittens, and playgrounds! I'm a simple gal.

What a beautiful topic. I need to see things like this more often. Perhaps we all do. I love to learn something new and to see new places. Getting outside of my boundaries makes me feel good.
