What makes you happy? Today I was thinking about happiness and I recalled some moments that will stay with me forever. One of the first moments I can remember was when I was really young, maybe 3 years old 
. I was at my grandma's house in the countryside and she was wearing a wool jacket that she made herself. It was colored, green and red, and I was sitting next to her. I don't remember what she was doing, but I remember the rays of light coming through the window and shining on that jacket, it was magical. And I know I was happy because everytime I think about it, I feel as peaceful and calm as I did back then. I felt magic, I felt protected and I saw beauty.
I always "hunt" these moments and whenever they happen, I treasure them . Sometimes I feel joy, sometimes I feel nothing, but sometimes there is that moment that you want to last forever.
These are "my moments", I have many others that I share with my family, with my wife, my son or my friends. But you don't need amazing or great moments to be happy, sometimes even a small flower in spring can do the trick.
This is how I find my happiness. So, what makes you happy? 
P.S. This is one of my neighbor's dog. He's always happy .

What makes me really happy is knowing God and doing His will. Also, my family, friends, music, nature and food make me happy.

@Kasjnak You are so right on that one. There is nothing better, more beautiful and it will last forever! 
I like your "magical" time with your grandmother and how you saved that precious memory. I have saved a few of those precious moments myself.
One was the birth of my children. I will always treasure that one, for all eternity!

@1hopefulman very, very true! The birth of my son was amazing 
. When I saw him for the first time I was jumping all over the place, couldn't help it. And the love that I felt...

There are many things that bring you joy and happiness, big and small . As I said, the ones you love can give you so much happiness! But also the small things, a blue sky, a beautiful flower, sunshine after the rain or a bird singing . Life is beautiful.

Hi Carol! Nice to meet you here! I agree, memories can always bring back some happy times. I'm very fond of some of my memories, the one in my post is probably the first I can recall. It feels like what Proust described in "A la recherche du temps perdu" .

When I come home my pets are jumping and screaming, hug my legs.
Spring wild flower makes me happy too.
When someone adopt street dog or cat.
When I shot good photo or video accidentally.
Finished some big project or idea.
Just little thing like sunny day or aromatic wind or autumn fall in park :)

Exploring new places, playing with my fur baby, spending quality time with my loved ones, trying out new cuisines, being here on Mylot (definitely, one of my stress-relievers), watching a good film, listening to my favorite RNB or Pop music, helping people who are in need, etc.

Whoa, so many things! It's great to find happiness everywhere, I bet you are always smiling and joyful . Everything can bring you joy if you want that 
. But as I said before, you must pay attention.
