Some of my fellow MyLotters are making lists of things that make them happy. They chose 8 things on that list but I chose to make it "7 Things That Make Me Happy" as the number 7 itself is my favorite number. 1) Gardening makes me very happy. 2) Reading is another moment of happiness. 3) Walking makes my body and mind happy. 4) Listening to music to my heart's content. 5) Savoring my chocolate also brings some happy moments. 6) Practicing my piano 7)Playing chess and Scrabble also brings its happy hours. I am just mentionning things here not people, I hope that it is what you had in mind.

Constant happiness isn't possible. But happy moments are. I think most members can find something in your list that brings them happy moments, too.

@MALUSE I think so too. I do not think that happiness is a constant but I certainly try to make my life pleasant.

Everything but number 6 also make me happy. What is the problem with number 6? I don't have a piano and could not play if my life depended on it. Do you have a YouTube video of you playing the piano? This is my brother pretending to play the piano.
My brother really doesn't play the piano. But in this video he does a good job, doesn't he?

No, I do not have a video playing the piano, I dislike playing for others. It is only for me, my own personal happiness as I am not a good player.

Reading was never my forte. I don't know why but maybe I lack interest in them. I don't even play piano either. As for Gardening I'm just a newbie even though I started last year.

The first 5 things also make me happy. I have never learned to play piano and I really dislike Chess. I like Scrabble and Backgammon.

A few decades ago, I would have had the pool too on my list, but we sold that property and we do not have a pool here.

@AbbyGreenhill The answer to this question is "Yes, yes and yes". Our 2 sons had 5 years of wonderful times there and us too.

You have a nice list of things that bring you happiness. I know you must be anxiously waiting for spring to get your gardening going again.

Nice list. Many of your choices are like mine. Hearing a child's laughter, and writing would be two I would add to my list.

I agree with a lot of those, though I don't garden nor do I play the piano.

I like almost the same things as you do, except playing chess. It´s probably because I havent´t tried it lately, but i used to enjoyed it when I was younger
