Fellow blogger Joan at My Best Friend Adeline has tagged me in this challenge to list 50 things that make me happy. I urge you to check out her post as well!
I think this is such a great way of focusing oneself to remember the little things that happen each day or that simply just exist that make us happier. It is so easy to forget when things are going downhill during the course of our hectic lives that taking one moment to simply observe a small thing in your immediate environment or to enjoy something small, can turn the day around.
Can you list 50 simple things that make you happy?
Here’s my list:
- Sunflowers
- Leaf buds on trees in Springtime
- Sunshowers
- The first snow of the year
- Squirrels
- Mimosas
- Campfires
- My Husband
- Sprouting plants pushing up out of the soil
- Smiles from random strangers
- Pizza
- Candles
- Amber colored light bulbs
- Fireplaces
- Full bookshelves
- Nag Champa
- Soft carpeting
- Wooden furniture
- Ladybugs
- Fireflies
- Tiki torches
- Children laughing
- Babies
- Rabbits
- Hugs
- The way new books smell
- Paintbrushes
- Fountains
- Throw pillows
- Fur blankets
- Blank stationery
- Bells
- Freshly washed hair
- Warm oversized sweaters
- Fuzzy onsies
- New socks
- Trees
- Fall leaves
- Orchids
- Hot coffee
- The smell of the earth after a heavy rain
- Morning Dew
- Fir trees
- Deer
- Antique trunks
- Pajamas
- Old maps
- Warm sun on my skin
- Turtles
- The ocean
I would love to know what makes you happy!

Thanks for the tag! This was the perfect way for me to get writing again after being away from the keyboard for a couple of days! Got my motor turning and put a smile on my face! Much needed exercise!

Ah, pizza, ladybugs and blank stationery are all my idea of a little piece of heaven too!
Great post – must have been quite a task to list all these. It really shows what a lot we can find to be grateful for and often it’s the most obvious things that can go unnoticed.
Great to see lovely things brought into focus like this.

Oh I know it! I only let myself wash my hair a few times a week since it dries out so easily, and it’s so hard since I love it so much. Thank you so much for reading!
