What makes you happy and free from stress? I like to relax and read and plant flowers. Taking long walks in the country. My kids make me happy. But I know at times as parents we need to get away from some stress in our lives.

Happy starts w/waking up in the morning!!!Every thing after that,,is a give me!!!Look,we all have things that get us down or stressed.But if your 1st thought when you wake is,thank you!! for another day of liven . Then start dealing w/your day.Because you don't know weather you'll see the next.Fixs the things on your list you can get to,the others will or will not fall in to place! Enjoy that book,look at your flowers,they make you smile,don't they? Take that extra walk you don't think you have the time for.The kids, even when they are driveing you insane! Step in the next room and think if you could'nt have the kids,books and those flowers the peace you get on you walks!!!!None of it would be,,,,,,,if you did'nt wake up.... When it really is getting me down,I go on walk about!! Go by yourself,go w/your hubbie,or a buddy.I go for a day,a weekend,rite now I'm on walk about! I left in Jan. and I'll be going back next week! Back to all that wonderfull STRESS!!!! Just remember,,,tomorrow,,,,NEVER,,,,comes!!!

I agree with you! A true happiness is about appreaciating every single gift or a thing in our life. First one is always our life and another day given us. Then we are intelligent people and we can decide to enjoy anything else. Could be very simple and so joyful things. there is no boundaries of what we can feel happiness only our mind ccan do for us. It's our wonder of being human!

when i am unhappy i either call up a close friends and talk to him/her for a while and forget about my worries, sometimes i don't even feel like talking to friends then i try to look for some kids in the neighbourhood and take a walk with them. this walk is very refreshing and seems out of the world. these kids have innocent talks and ideas. far away from the worldly drama. this seems to be the best way to be stress free.

that sounds like a good idea to. all the ideas on here sound very great. That is why I like talking to others. Because everyone is different and does things different.
