What makes you Happy

As others have said, healthy and happy family friends and neighbours, looking forward to holidays again especially to visit our son , his new wife and her lovely children,, waking up each morning especially when the sun streams through the window, living in a lovely semi rural area, thankful for coming through covid unscathed!!!

My granddaughter’s beautiful smile and the way she says “I love you, granny” as she throws her arms round me. Also, the smile in my son’s face as he watches us together ?

Beachcombing.

Going out as a family with usual family banter and laughter of DGCs.
Empty washbasket, all ironed and away. Getting into a fresh linen bed.
Collapsing on sofa exhausted after DGCs have left.
All packed and ready to go on holiday DH and I.
Cycling along the local tow paths and stopping at a barge cafe for coffee.
Husbands newly cut lawns with precision cut stripes and edges.

Family and friends, my garden, good food a good book and feeling the glorious warmth of the sun.

Family and friends being happy and healthy. But what really makes me happy is a very big very long thunderstorm and where I live we are not really prone to them…?

My 18 year old granddaughter NOT asking me for money ALL the time. Being alone in my bungalow. Classic fm late at night while playing games on my tablet.

Family and friends, my garden, feeling the glorious warmth of the sun. Good food and a good book.

My 2 youngest GC aged 2 and 4 months as nearly all the other GC have lived abroad and bond is not as close. I have elder my GD one day a week and will have GS one day a week when Mum returns to work in February. I think I would have sunk without them.

Music
A good book
Chocolate

Family and friends, my garden and cats, red sky at night (I can see one now), getting lost in a good book, listening to my favourite music [different on different days), feeling well after a period of illness.

When I wake up and my heart isn’t rocking and rolling or pounding at a ridiculous speed. Good days are a joy.

Knowing my family are healthy and happy
Being made a fuss of by my cat and returning the affection
Seeing a beautiful sunset
Sitting in a garden with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers
Lunching with girl friends
Being on holiday with DH (in the UK during Covid times)

Obviously family and friends first .
I love driving my beautiful car to football , with music on LOUD and watching my team win! Roll on Saturday.

J S Bach on radio 3 or cds every day, all sorts of other music. Lovely clean cotton sheets on bed, singing, swimming which is good in itself and helps my back, talking on the phone to my family as I cannot see them at the moment. Seeing a new flower in my garden, smelling ground coffee, scented leaf geraniums, mint , lavender, the wonderful perfume of hay being cut up the dales , newly tarred roads, sitting high up in my beloved Swaledale, looking over the landscape and watching for many interesting birds, oyster catchers , kestrels, buzzards swifts and many others, and the sound of the river.

Gardening this morning then a walk to the beach to read my book, collected fennel for my dinner, sunshine & blue sky ?

Being in touch with my family

Seeing my friends

The sound of the sea ,a beach, a beautiful sunset, my garden, icecream and swimming in the sea.

BabsB I should start a separate thread if you would like responses on teeth whitening?

I will send you a private message as this thread subject is What makes you happy
Do you know how to access private messages?

My grandchildren when they stay with me for a few days and after less than 24hours say pleases and thank yous with no prompting. Really sad that my daughter and son in law don't seem to think it's that important.

Active social life, particularly with family.

Music

My grandson has always been able to soothe the cares away - even the dreaded OFSTED when I was still teaching.

Riding my bike, especially on the flat!
And, like so many others, fresh bedlinen.
Super thread, thank you

My family and friends.
