Everyone of us just like love define happiness in many ways. We define it according on our own way especially on the level of experience we've been through. And I believe a lot of us has it's own reason why or what makes us happy. In my own way, what really makes me happy is that when I'm with my family, doing the good things I really love just like watching movies with the people I love, doing my job and knowing at the end of the day I served my fellows. What makes me happy is when I spend the evening listening music and watch stars above. It makes me happy also seeing nature. Seeing the blue beach...Ah, so simple yet just a wonder how people felt happy in just a simple ways...These things really make me happy...so simple yet fulfilling and satisfying... How about you guys? What makes you happy?

Personally, there are a lot of things (simple & otherwise) which make me absolutely happy. I've listed some of them here: 1. spending quality time with my own family 2. feeling like a child again while playing with our daughter (and only child) 3. taking trips to the province 4. marvelling at nature 5. receiving and opening gifts 6. giving some useful stuff to the needy 7. buying gifts for myself and for my loved ones 8. being here in mylot 9. playing & taking bath in the rain (we used to do this when me and my siblings were still 10 years of age & younger) 10. paydays & bonuses (lol) 11. having a substantial savings 12. & last but definitely not the least, being debt-free On a personal note, I think the last two items on the list are the most difficult to achieve. Anyway, be joyous & happy holidays!

Hello,Sweety! Nothing but the love of my wife can make me happy.So whenever I feel depressed or stressed she just asks me for sleeping a few minutes with her and play the love game so that mind will be free from all tensions.This is really an effective way to get relieved of depression or tensions.So love only can make me happy.thanx.

I am happy most of the time because I think things are as they are, it is only our mood which swings from good to bad and then bad to good. So, usually I'm happy when I'm busy doing my work or am engaged in some task or enjoying the solitude. I only loose happiness when I am serious and negative thoughts occupy my mind and I find that there is no solution to a problem (although it is never so). There are also other things like when I realize that certain things will never change how hard I try but most of these things when I loose optimism for some duration.

Lots of things make me happy. I love to dance that makes me happy, my children who I love dearly, and my wonderful pets especially my dog; To see other people happy when you give them presents at Christmas makes me happy, singing, reading a good book...every thing that is good and kind in life makes me happy, good friends who make you laugh, going out having fun

Life in general makes me happy. The fact that I can wake up every morning and have no real responsibilities is a cool deal. My girlfriend makes me happy. Anytime I say, man, I could go for some ice cream... She usually goes to the store and grabs me some Ben and Jerrys ice cream. Crazy huh? Professional wrestling makes me happy. It's my passion and something I've loved doing since I was eighteen years old. I am twenty now and still having a blast doing it. My family tends to make me happy. They frustrate me but ultimately make me happy. Like, the jokes and what not I can have with my brother. My friends are amazing. They can make me happy now matter what situation I'm going through. All of the inside jokes and what not make me happy too. Music is a big deal to me. If I didn't have music, I wouldn't be a very happy person. Food is a huge deal to me too. It seems like a double cheeseburger from McDonalds can make me a happy boy. Note to ladies, food is the easiest way to a mans heart. Seriously, it is. That just about sums up everything that truly makes me happy.

For me, it is my family and money, which make me happy. I put these two at the top priority.

It is true that we have different levels of happiness.I'm a very shalow person I can be happy just to see my plants bear flowers and fruits.See my chickens eggs on his nest and then later hatched into small chicks.Waking up in early morning feeling the soft and cold wind as my husband and I drink coffee together.I'm also fond of seeing all the beautiful scenerieis of nature.In pictures,in television and in the internet much more when I see it personally.I'm happy to see my grandchildren screaming my name when they see me and then kiss and hug me tight.There are many simple things that makes me happy and I thank God for that.

Just having my partner around me makes me happy. When I touch him, smell him, cuddle on him, it brings a deep joy to me.

hi sweetbarbie :) What makes me happy is when Im seeing my family and my love one happy(with smile in their face). I always wish we all could live happily forever. The most happiest time is when we altogether sit and eat together.

Happiness is come from the soul of ourselves. For me, when I can go home and see my wife waiting for me for dinner, when I go back with my parents and know they are health, when I have a party with my good friends.So happy is like you said, it is so simple.

seeing things through my kids eyes and hearing them laughing and playing nice together. The things they come up with. Also being able to take a nice long bath by myself with no kids beating down the door makes me happy also lol.

I am the happiest when I can do the simple things in life without worrying. A long time ago I was horribly spoiled rotten and never understood the responsibilities of life...until I began to face my own mistakes and take charge. ANd without knowing it I became this crazy, penny-pinching, worry wort that would never do anything for herself because she was afraid how much the cost would affect the bills...now I know that every once in awhile, especially the ones who face their debt, deserves a little something. So that's what makes me happy, being able to do something for myself and not worry about the future.

Happiness is lending a hand to someone who needs it, looking into my child's eyes, cuddling my cat, reading good books, watching a good movie and eating chocolate; there are many more little things such as these that make me happy and note they don' cost a thing. Counting my blessings at the end of each day is uplifting too.

Hi sweetbarbie, A lot of things make me happy, like a bird singing in my garden, a butterfly, a flower, a rose garden, all gardens, waking up in the morning and be alive and healthy, looking forward to a day full of promises to come, my family and friends, the people I work with, every thing around me make me happy in one way or another. I have my days of tears like anyone else, but to me every day is a new day!

well I think whatever you included makes me happy too.. For me the most important thing is to make my parents happy..when I see my mom & dad is happy for me I feel so good.. I was fortunate enough when I made my parents happy in front of the world when i came first in my masters.. everyone came to congratulate them.. more than as a topeer i felt happy because they were feeling so happy.. I have seen most of the simple thing in life makes me happy.. going out with family, eating together, playing with them makes me full.. I also like babies smile.. it gives me tremendous satisfaction.. so innocent & pure.. I love music & nature.. & finally dreaming something wonderful for me, my family & for the world completes my happiness..
