Just a random questions for those that feel they need to spill the beans on what really makes them happy . . . If you care to share, I don't mind but here are a few things that really make me happy: Coming home after work and having a meal prepared for me - its a simple pleasure but a most welcome happiness. Getting 'good morning' wishes from my best friends via my cell phone - that means they are thinking about me even if we are far away! Sunshine on my face - of course I wear sunscreen, but there is nothing so satisfying as a moment of pure sunshine on ones face. Hot, aromatic coffee on a cold day . . . that is the ultimate cup of happiness Hugs - for no reason at all, some people just know the right time to give and we need to know the same - give hugs, they are free. The smell of the fresh ocean and the feel of sea-spray on my face . . . the best Table Mountain on a day out - my photo so what are you Happy places and things?

Lots of things make me happy. There are hugs, puppies, babies, a sunny day, and lots of other things. You need to decide to be happy.

I like the photo. How tall is Table Mountain? Can you climb it? I like my first cup of coffee, woodworking on my balcony after work, playing my guitar, hugs from 4-year-olds, Tom Kha Gai, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream drenched in milk.

@sophiey Conversations with the ghosts of Hemingway, Camus and Dostoyevsky, sitting in sad cafés, Paris in November and the exhilaration of swimming in the North Atlantic just as the sun's coming up. They all thrill me.

What wonderful simple pleasures. I would love to visit table mountain one day! I like to see my grandchildren and tease the life out of them!

A morning walk along a deserted beach. Watching my children grow into adults to be proud of. The welcome I get from Hugo the dog whenever I return home. Mrs WorDazza. Watching a game of football on a clear, frosty day with a cup of tea warming my hands! A pint of real ale in a country pub with an open fire.

family always comes first - but I thought not to list as that would be an obvious choice - thank you for sharing

What a great question.... There are so many things that make me happy so I will only be able to list a few: !. My children and grandchildren. They are my everything. They bring so much joy and happiness to my life. 2. My fiance who came into my life at a time when I was prepared to spend my life alone. He is so good to me and he really knows how to make me smile. 3. My kitty cats. I love how when I get home from work after a long day of work they greet me at the door. Their purrs are music to my ears. 4. Spending time with my sisters and their families which I don't get to do as often as I like because we live a distance from each other but the time we do have together makes me happy. 5. Spending time with nature whether it be at the beach, hiking or camping. Oh all those simple little things in life really warms my heart. and I go could on and on and on...life makes me happy! I truly am blessed.

My most recent happy day I woke up with a firm decision on my mind about something. Solving my problems makes me happy. Being able to dabble among all my activities at will makes me happy too. Seeing the entire horizon from my front yard, with awesome clouds is a happiness as well.Getting all my internet and computer related cords loosened up and untangled. Swimming. Seeing my son smile at his wife. Seeing the fun my daughter and her family have on adventures they take. Fresh hot coffee.

I'm a very simple person with simple needs. Hearing from or seeing my daughter makes me the happiest. Looking at my sweet little Mildred kitty's face makes my heart melt. Going to yard sales gives me a thrill. Settling down with a good book or eating some delicious pizza gives me comfort.

Table mountain! nice name. good photo. I think always feeling happy makes us happy. if you don't feel it, nothing can make you happy. But, sometimes things around us make us happy. and some more times just being alone also makes you happy! it all depends on our mindset and nothing should be there to make us unhappy. then only we can enjoy life.
