I am happy with spending time with my family. I dont need a lot of material things to make me happy. Just the basics and my family. What makes you happy?

Gosh, this is a question oft asked yet always so profound. I think I'm am most happy when I don't have to worry about anything. Most days, this isn't the case, and I don't know of a time when I've been truly happy for more than a day. But if I had to guess, I would say that having good opportunities, and going in a direction I want to go in life makes me most happy.

having good friends and family and enough money to pay my bills that is all it takes to make me happy, and oh yes my ability to write, that always makes me happy.

I do not know why, but this topic made me think of that song that Barbara Streisand used to sing, "My Favorite Things." My family, going to college, bellydancing, singing, danging (in general), music, selling Italian Charms, doing arts-n-crafts projects. These things make me happy, as well as building web sites, and maintaining/updating them. There is only one thing missing, and that is finding a secure source of income, but that will be taken care of once I graduate and start working as a nurse.

hugs to you moneymommy. My family, my boyfriend, God's blessings and friends makes me happy. I think they are nice gifts for me. But sometimes i feel like i am so down just because i dont have sufficient money for my bills, thats depressing most of the time. I just cant concentrate thinking on praying for God's support and guidance when i know that my financials is not doing great. Of course we know that this is not good, but i really feel that sometimes. But i still blessed that even i experience financial difficulties, my family and love oned ones is healthy and living happily. Im hoping to earn more to balance my money and expenditures. happy mylotting!

Hello, MM... It doesn't take a lot to make me happy... as long as my family is content (mom, bro and sister) that makes me happy. I also don't go for material things cuz I tend to go for simple things mostly the necessities or you call the basics. Right now, if only my bf will give more effort and time for me even through the hard times he is experiencing in US. That will make me really really happy...

Reading a good book Taking a bath or shower watching a movie I want to see preparing a meal that is good spending time with my honey feeling fresh after a shower going online and especially here listening to music on my Ipod or cd player or on YouTube drinking a Strawberry Smoothie looking out over water(the best thing to calm a body or soul)

COMMON SHARING OF HAPPINESS ~ My quality time with my family is the most thing does promotes my life happiness. On sharing with them the "togetherness" time, fulfilled with soothes heart activities really a peace state-of-mind while contributing sincere love and caring to each other. Not necessarily to have an outdoor activity, but enough by enjoying the blissful moment on indoor activity. A Little Time But With Big Impact.

I am happy when I achieve the things that I want. I'm a student so good grades are the things that can make me happy. My family also makes me happy. The simple things in life make me happy.
