What makes you happy?

Inspired by my bored blog reading. Yea. I was in class skimming through one blog then clicking the link at the top that says "Next Blog" It's pretty interesting the things that you come across this one was a picture of a lady on a crowded train or subway or something. She was a short lady, you could only see from her nose up. She is holding up a piece of aqua colored paper with the words "What makes you happy?" written on it. It made me think about what makes me happy?

It's tough to pin point what makes you happy sometimes. Having good food when I'm hungry makes me happy. Hanging out with my family does too. Knowing there are people in my life that I can trust. There are a million simple things that can help brighten your day and make you happier. Ice cream, new shoes, a good hair day, seeing a little kid be entertained by a single object, seeing someone else smile, etc.

There the things that sometimes makes you happy and other times makes you sad. One thing for me is Abby. She was one of the coolest dogs and sometimes thinking about her makes me laugh but sometimes it makes me cry because I miss her alot. The same thing goes for those moments where you see something funny or that was part of an inside joke and the only other person that would get it or was part of the joke is someone that is no longer in your life for one reason or another. The humor brought happiness and a laugh to your brain but the realization that you have no one to share it with puts a damper on that laugh.

Well here is to finding the things that make you happy in life and holding on to them to get you through the not so happy times and even your darkest moments.
