What makes you happy?

To make a long story short, when everything goes my way--you know, as planned.

It is hard to explain but this makes me happy:

bacon

The closest thing to happiness I have felt is standing on a beautiful day on the top of a cliff overlooking the sea with not a single other person in sight.

Spending quality time with my SO

To be alone for 10 days.

I feel happy when I feel that I've achieved something (especially if I was working at it) or when other people indicate in some way that they like me.

You get . I like your diplomacy.

most things in my life make me happy......... just looking out at trees, my partner, my friends, family............

My husband, my family, my pets, my garden, flowers, funny things and cute things.

Food and music.

How could I have forgot food?

what is that? I think the link is not right or something.

I like you. And your comments make me happy

I'd go with the idea of a happiness set-point, that you tend to drift back to. So I don't look for some big change in my life to make me happy; lots of little things, to keep pushing that happiness back up, works better. Foods I like, TV shows, a new book or game or comic or DVD, little interesting things to see, tours and convention trips each year that I can plan for and enjoy and tell people about afterward, etc.

Having enough money; not having hassles with anyone; being healthy; having plenty of time alone...

Playing pinball and hearing that satisfying "THWOCK" noise when I get a replay with a good score. Cuddling with my toddler. Listening to the ocean. Eating filet mignon with bearnaise sauce.

Today the things that make me happy are to see my children and grandchild happy and well. that is all we want as parents I guess. Also to see my husband is well ( he's disabled) is good too and it makes me happy. I am happy when my family is okay and doing well. Didn't I say that in the above lines? It's the morning so I am not all there.

Feeling loved.

Happiness comes from within. External factors have little or nothing to do with it.

-Being content with my current circumstances.
-Taking joy in simple pleasures.

I like you!

I NEVER forget food!
*makes oinky noises*

*touches your leg under the table and squeezes*
*winks*

I love you....and stuff

Friends.

food is so good and so bad

It is a love hate relationship

My family, playing with kids, chocolate, having a good day, having a good time, deciding to be happy despite having a bad time. Stuff like that.

And pancakes. Let's not forget pancakes.

Now I'm happy!

Tell me about it. I have 20 pounds to go to reach my goal weight. Food is the enemy.....it lures me with it's siren song and makes me eat it.....
*goes for a walk*

If it were warmer I would be walking but I get so cold brrrrrrrrrrr I hate the cold I look forward to your email and pics.

more than anything - getting to spend time with people that I love....doing fun things together or just having the time to talk and connect with them.

Candy, bunnies, Smurfs, Care Bears, wolf cubs, money, and domination.

The link works fine for me; however it is a Java applet and your mileage may vary. It is an online version of the text adventure game Zork.

makes me happy.

It's 1:30am. I'm writing an essay. The caffeine (coke) is wearing off....."happy" isn't part of my vocabulary right now!

But once the essay is finished, I suppose I'll be happy

Being with Caleb makes me happy. No matter what my mood or how sad I am, he can always cheer me up. He's such a sweet, caring, awesome little boy. (Okay, he does have his bad moments!)

Other things that make me happy are being with my family and friends, the first cigarette in the morning, someone doing something kind and unexpected, not speaking to the dog (my maternal grandmother) for months at a time, alcohol, and being loved.

My daughter.

i instantly thought of that song by sheryl crow, 'if it makes you happy it can't be that bad....'
but to answer that question, there are too many things that make me 'happy', i used to keep a big ole fat notebook where i wrote down all the things that made me smile throughout the day, my original goal was to write down 5 things everyday, but i found that i was writing at least 20 or more things per day, and it was everything from hearing a killer song on the radio, see a particualr person at the time, a bird outside my window, but most importantly, my list started out everyday with the entry 'i woke up'
helped throughout that time in my life, i contemplated doing that little exercise again, but found it to be unecassary for i began to examine my life around me, and pulled myself out of that damn heavy gray cloud that seemed to be enveloping me

excellent survey berriegurl!!

hi lady!!!
((HUGE HUG))

I'm in a good mood and pretty much happy all the time. I just don't et stuff get to me like I used too.
I'm happy when I'm with my girlfriend.
I'm happy when I'm out riding my horses.
I'm happy when I'm cooking.
I get real happy when I'm at the Bar when my girlfriend is workng and I'm drinking Beers.

Hey there, where you been? How come you didn't answer my e-mails? Hope everything is ok with you.

things fitting together
white truffle risotto
a nice sunset
the sound of rain
sex with my lover
snuggling with my lover
hot chocolate
foot rubs
helping people
building things

these things make me happy

that would make me very happy, too. satisfied...

mmmm, bacon!

that's very cool!

Love. Sex. Friendship. Humour. Getting the giggles. Watching my dog race round the park. Seeing my Mum smile when I haven't seen her for months. Feeling the sun on my skin. Feeling the first kick of alcohol. Galloping a horse along a deserted beach. I could go on for hours.

I love bacon so much. I wish I could wear it. I'd make funny little bacon shoes and maybe a bacon beanie to wear on my head. Dogs would love me!
Damn....that might be cause for bacon panties!!!!!!!!!
*crax herself up*

Food, my cats, having enough money not to worry at the end of the month, sleeping

what makes me happy is happy songs!!!!!

awwww your daughter is lovely!!

yeah that pretty much summed it up. peaceful too

meats of evil!!! you need bacon DNA sliced into your own!

This soap has bacon in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made it myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you and I could spend the rest of our lives speaking in Zim quotes and never actually have to use any other English!

Having a good day, having good sex with Ben, having a good meal with friends... A lot of good things make me happy!

besides chocolate? well, when a baby smiles or laughs, those romantic moments on movies (when romeo kissed juliet *very cliche i know*), going to sleep knowing ive done everything ive needed to do, a job well done, etc

Let's make biscuits!!! we sure could

Hey! Where've you been hiding yourself? I've missed you!

Music, my art, the love of my family and of my soulmate. A good day's work, a good day off.
I'm generally happy, so much so that various co-workers often comment on it. I really have my spirituality to thank for that.

Not now, son...I'm making toast

that notebook idea is awesome...i need to try that. i find it so amazing (esp. on bad days) how hard it can be to think of things that make you happy, but something like that notebook would definatly remind you. ;) thanks, babe

what a cutie pie...how old is she? i have two of my own ( son 2 1/2 and daughter 15 months) and they can always make me happy no matter what.

Happiness is a warm gun.

I finished the essay, got some sleep, and had "excellent" written at the bottom of my work. I'm happier now

wheeeee! ride the pig!!!

Let's go to my room pig...........

Almost 10 months now. She's the light of my life!

Buying nice new stuff.

Later...

Babies, loving kisses, and friendship.

HI!!!!
(waving from my little corner of the world)

i'm alright, i just don't come online that much any more, for i have discovered that the headaches i've been plagued with have been because of the computer, weird huh, so i can really only handle like 10 minutes or so, before i feel one coming on, even if i take some headache stuff first as a prevention.
sorry i didn't answer your email, i really haven't answered anyone..but that doesn't mean i haven't thought of you!!!
hope everything is alright in your neck of the woods
i'll be online again prolly in a couple days and that's when i intend to clean out my email heh heh heh.....take care my friend!!

HI!!!

i've missed you too!!
how's everything? w/caleb? with colton? with chris?


it's been weird around here. my hub got laid off permanently in the beginning of february, my computer was broken for a while, again....and figured out what causes my headaches, my gramma just died this week, have been trying to keep myself busy so cabin fever doesn't set in again

i'm alright though. we're planning a trip to colorado in early mid april, that'll be fun. we've decided to take a train there instead of flying or driving, we'll be there for about a week and a half, should be good times. thinking that noah will really enjoy the train, it's only a 24 hour trip, so not bad, and he'll be able to walk around on the train and what not, pretty excited for that.

you can give me a call sometime this week if you want and we'll catch up then, for like i said to rockman, i don't get online much anymore and my inbox is overflowing

anyhow, give caleb a little squeeze from me and noah!! talk to you soon and take care of yourself until then

yeah, the notebook thing did indeed work, for me anyhow..but i totally understand that when you're 'down', it doesn't even matter, that everything is 'crap', but that notebook really did help me open my eyes and slowly pull myself out of that cloud which was much needed for when i'm down, i'm not much good to anyone, ya know? especially now with a kid i really have to force myslef to just STOP and look around for just a little moment, it helps

hang in there girlie!!!

There are a few things that make me happy family,my babies(dogs),spending time with my friends, and reading the Bible.

Sounds like things have been really wild for you. The trip sounds like fun! I'm sorry to hear about Scotty's job. And about your grandma passing away. I'm off tomorrow (Monday) so I'll try to give you a call then.

((((((((((Jewels))))))))))

just saw the latest pics of noah when i was at heather & mike's today...he is so cute. it's scary how "boy" they look now--not really any "baby" left :(

What makes me happy, is my 14 month old son, when he wants me to tie a flannel shirt around him, so that he can have a cape. And when he smiles and says, Luv eww Momma.. Thats what makes ME happy!
-Samantha

it is scary indeed how all of a sudden they are little boys and not babies anymore. it just dawned on me just HOW much noah has grown since september, his little clothes are all all of a sudden too short or small for him, you know, stuff that was indeed big on him in fall, is now snug!!
glad he still likes to cuddle w/me though even though at the moment he is daddy's little boy

It sounds superficial, but....diamonds really make me happy. I like to wear them.

they are sparkley and beautiful and happy things I love to wear mine too. whenever I am bored I can entertain myself with them

feeling loved, laughing, and watching episodes of Three's Company and Friends

Making other people happy.

So many things make me happy-animals,(birds as well), being on SC(And I really mean that) hearing from my sons who live far away, grandkids,a sunny warm day,family gatherings,talking to friends,eating chocolate mousse(yum)9 I shouldn't ever make it again, but I love it)losing weight,getting unexpected presents,chocolate mousse,etc.......

My daily emails from David(especially the ones with pictures *evil giggle*) and his phonecalls......

after the past few days i have to say my family of friends....don't get me wrong, i have a wonderful (blood-related) family, but i've never felt so welcomed and at home with people that choose to have me as part of their lives.

I'm glad someone else likes them too. I just love the glitter. I know it's frivolous; but it's fun!

My family,my artwork and my friends

sedatives

that is something to be happy about. congrats.

I will be happy when I finish my essay on circadian clocks.

tis indeed...thanks!

*happy*

Idiots staying away from me.

What makes me happy? Hmmm......chemicals in my brain.

Is it really happiness you feel on completing an essay or just relief?
I suspect the Survey creator means happiness in a different sense of the word than having just got something out of the way.

Paddling out on the first big day of a swell and surfing with my friends.

It does make me happy to complete something. It's not about getting it out of the way. It's about starting something, finishing it and doing a decent job. Of course, the circumstances in which I write my essays aren't always the most conducive to doing that, but it still works out ok.

I'm a "geek" - I like to work, always have, especially now that I've specialised as a biologist. I wouldn't be at university writing essays if I didn't think it was fun
