I love watching the sunrise or sunset. The flowers blooming or plants thriving in my garden give me so much happiness. I love to hear the song birds sing.. that I find is the most enjoyable way to wake up. I love to walk bare feet on the beach and also on a lawn.. just the feel of grass or sand under my feet makes me happy. I love to see a baby smile at me, a puppy lick my face, a tiny lamb hop and frolic around, bunnies skip about.. I love to see the trees drop their blooms on the ground and carpet her.. as much I love seeing them on the tree.. I love autumn leaves rustle under my feet. I love to play in the cool waters of a flowing river.. just listen to the sound of water... oh there are so many things that bring me happiness. I feel so blessed when I see all this around.. My problems seem so insignificant when I am in the midst of natures awesome display.. What do you enjoy?

I enjoy walking around the park to see smiley and happy kids running around enjoying all the things that they can enjoy in a park place.

@m_audrey6788 Isn't that the simplest thing in the world and yet it can make us so happy.. It costs us nothing and yet we search for it all around.

I love this post. I know some chronically negative people who could really benefit from enjoying the small things. Like you I love watching my garden grow. I like hugging/playing with the cat I like watching moving water and listening to the noise I like rainstorms and lightening and how the air smells for a few

I also enjoy those that you enjoy. But the most that I enjoy is waking up in the morning, a gift of another day from God and seeing my hubby beside me sleeping.

Most often I am up before sunrise and see the light in the eastern horizon. While I take a walk in our playground surrounded with mango and coconut trees I love to hear bird songs and see the squirrels moving about.

@sofssu I love to sit on the porch when the weather is fine and read a book and my cat come on my lap for her pets. I love to work on the computer and watch TV and at times listen to music.

Everything... the quiet cool before a storm comes, the warmth of a nice warm and breezy day, etc. Most importantly, when my kids smile those real super happy smiles they just are absolutely enjoying the moment!

@Janet357 It is peace., you are right .. I love trees and woods so much, the water bodies are an added feature for happiness. I will some time soon.. Its far away from the city so we need to wait for a few years before we move.

@sofssu it’s beautiful isnt it? Like the day may pass so slow but you will feel so light, so stress-free. When i had a vacation in such place, it was like i had no problems at all. I wish you could take a picture of the place you are talking about. I always wants trees.

We are two of a kind it seems to me as whatever you have listed puts a spring in my step too. At the moment though I am waiting for Preiti our pet to start eating. She has not eaten for days.

All that sounds wonderful to me. My favorite is walking on the beach. I do not like walking barefoot on the grass, just in case a spider, snake, or but is there to bite me!
