Ahh, Alex, you rock! Great thread!
For starters, my great husband (an absolute NUT!) and family. My new family here. Music of all kinds from all over the world. My guitars.
My garden (OK, it's a mess right now, but it still makes me happy). The beautiful array of food that springs forth from this messy garden that we get to create wonderful meals.
The amazing mountains and forest I live in. The critters I feel blessed to see (bobcats, coyotes, foxes, deer,rabbits, turkeys, ravens, hawks, banana slugs, even an occasional mountain lion).
Letting my rhythms be ruled by sunrise, sunset, the moon and her phases, seasons - I threw out my watch.
Cheers,

Watching my husband wrestle with my rapidly growing boys always makes me smile. Soon Trace will be as tall as he is, which makes it quite hillarious. Cole loves to stand on the couch and give dad a "flying" tackle. Boys are so funny.
Playing in my garden. Even weeding is fun for me. If I can design or redesign a garden I'm happy for hours. I love sharing my plants.
Sitting on the patio with a bon fire and the neighbors talking about nothing in particular, or just sitting on the swing enjoying the peace and quiet.
A good cup of coffee and a magazine.
It's the simple things I love the most.
You all and your wisdom and thoughtfulness.
Your Post for one thing ;-)

Good question... I would have to think about it....but I'm usually happy, people say I have a good attitude about things. I kind of go with the flow.
My hubby makes me happy... he is a special guy and I'm so happy to have him in my life.

Hi Alex,
It makes me happy to read all the things that make others happy here - despite our problems we really are a lucky bunch. I am especially happy for Michelle putting everyone on the bus - what a big step forward.
Time with my children makes me happy - I am very proud of them and the good job we did in raising them!
Special moments with my granddaughters - the sponstaneous hugs and giggles from a 2 and 5 year old can make even the grumpiest person happy.
Laughing with my husband, even when we are laughing at ourselves, makes me happy. It is a joy to have him around to share the good times with, because we have had enough bad with all the health issues.
Even the gloomiest of moods lift into happiness for me when the sky is blue - especially that robin's egg blue color. Caribbean blue is the next best happy color.
Happiness descends on me when I stop and watch the world around me - what a marvelous production going on all the time.
Thanks for the thread idea Alex -
happily yours,
Lulu
My Husband makes me laugh, my dogs love me unconditionally, and my good friends. I'm with Janette on the pretty scenery - love mountains, lakes and beaches, and Chocolate! Oh yes chocolate makes me happy too!!! :)
Great thread Alex! I sometimes get mired down in how yucky I feel, or how tired I am...and forget the blessings in my life.
Hugs,
Chrisy
At the moment it is a biggie for me:

My youngest went to 1st grade, so all are in school all day. Sorry for the yelling, I am just really happy today!!

It is always good to focus on such wonderful things! Thanks for the thread.
A hug from my children, Cassie is 7 & Alex will be 5 tomorrow!
Seeing my children play nicely, helping each other & hugging each other! They are awesome kids.
I love to peek in on them when they are sleeping - such amazing gifts.
Seeing my husband let his hair down & play with the kids :)
Eating chocolate makes me very happy :)
Beautiful scenery - God sure had fun making all the colors & Pretty things! I love to sit by water (Ocean or lake), it is such a calming activity.
Joyful music that has a good beat & uplifting words.
A good walk with my hubby by my side.
