Good Day, Sunshine


Today I was talking to a co-worker who said our boss asked someone in an interview what makes them happy, and the girl they were interviewing couldn't think of anything (maybe she couldn't think of anything "interview-y" enough). That is an interesting question. What make me happy? I put some thought in to it and while some of these things sound silly or simple, they truly do bring me joy.

Happy things:
*Anna's silliness
*Sun on my day off
*Sprinkles on just about anything
*A good yoga workout
*The beach
*When Tim brings me flowers and I don't expect it
*Realizing I'm making progress on something
*An ice cream cone in the summer -- especially from the Fruit Stand
*A good book
*That feeling you get when you finally lie down in bed after a long day
*Anything with curry (including chocolate)
*Watching people sing in the car
*Singing in the car
*A great concert (at the moment "Starlight" by Muse is playing and bringing back some great memories)
*Songs that bring back happy memories or remind you of what's going on in your life
*Roadtrips (planned and unplanned)
*Trying something new and loving it

Also, I rediscovered this song and it made me happy. I kind of love it more live.:

This hasn't been a good week in the least, but truly thinking about what does make me happy and realizing that I need to put on my big girl panties and get over my hang ups seems to be helping. Now if I could just get a nap...

Now I pose the quetsion to you, my friends, what makes you happy?
