Celebrating International Day of Happiness!
On this special day, my thoughts immediately turn to our community. I'm constantly impressed with the depth of compassion I see in action here each day. The kindness, gratitude, and genuine investment in each other's healing and success have kept us going for over a decade now.
Serving this community makes me happy — that and a really nice cup of coffee 😛
I'd like to hear what makes you happy!
💖 Don't think too much about it. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Reply below! If you can attach a photo for us visual folks, that'd be even better!
💖 Tag someone in to share their happiness with us!
I also highly suggest doing this reflective exercise in the spirit of the occasion: Where are you on the Happiness Scale?

@Heather225
hey, heather 🦋 hope you’re well
what makes me happy would be music, hearing from my loved ones, nature, my beautiful potted plants, food, crochet, art and craft, sometimes being here on 7 cups. 💕
i wrote this with such speed without even thinking too hard. there was a time in my life where i couldn’t do that, because i felt as if nothing makes me happy. i’m truly proud of how far i’ve come and my accomplishments on self-improvement 🥺💕 i’ve learned to appreciate and value even the simplest and smallest things in life that really brings us joy and a peace of mind. thank you for this post, it made me realize a lot.
i’d also love to know, what makes you, heather, happy? 😊
@chyni
you sound like a highly creative person! i love how into different types of art and expression you are! what kind of plants are you tending to?
@chyni yaaaay! I'm proud of you too ❤❤ I love art and craft😍 and I have a potted plant too yaaay! I have a indoor palm tree ❤❤ his name is kuana leaves 😎

@Zeraphim I think you need a giant tiny hug ❤ squeezes you tightly ❤❤❤
@Heather225
Books, food, real fun and play.
@communicativePond1728
I agree on all counts! what kind of fun and play do you enjoy?
@Heather225 I don't know. In the past I've enjoyed longboarding, skateboarding and snowboarding, usually the most when I'm with others. And ditto downhill mountain biking, rock climbing and snowshoeing, cross country skiing and downhill skiing.
I've had some fun at events like concerts and on holidays. Oh and I enjoyed road trips when I'm leaning into adventure, being around animals and kids and being in love. And music...jamming with others is probably one of the things I enjoy the most or had the most fun doing.
Dance was enjoyable, and learning new things can be fun sometimes...and I think it can be fun to mini golf or golf, go to an art gallery or arcade once in a while and explore parks and nature.
Cooking and eating has been fun too. Baking. Decorating my living space. Working on my style. Going after goals.
@communicativePond1728 wow your a bit of a dare devil 😎
guess what! I'm a like a child and a wild animal, and I can jam with you ❤ I'll take you for a road trip in my automobile...♿♿brum! Brum! Jump aboard♿♿ we go downhill weeeeeeeeee!♿♿♿♿♿
❤😁❤😁
@Tinywhisper11 haha not really a dare devil at all...I take my time so much learning no one could possibly say that if they saw me or knew the grind I go through just to learn something small 😂
Thanks though 😃 👑

@Tinywhisper11 omg the side quests like Snowy are impossibruuu I totally forgot about that too!
@Heather225
I love this image, it always makes me smile even if I have challenges that temporarily erode happy thoughts. This reminds me that happiness is an inside job and it will always return.

@Tinywhisper11
Yes sis, I got that! But may I know about cowboys?? Why??🧐
@WeEarth ok I've never dated anyone. And I don't think I ever will. But I still find people good looking, well actually only cowboys😍 😍 I would love to be like the original sort of cowboys/girls sleeping under the stars, riding off on my horse into the sunset. If that dream was ever a reality I would be the most happiest cowgirl there ever was ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Aww, I loved that thought!💓
I have a deep love for horses, I don't know why? I love horses and horse riding. 😍
Maybe I can join in your dream?? 😁
@Tinywhisper11
I don't know that much about cowboys. But, I have seen them in animated series.
