In general, I am happiest when I am spending time with the people I love but James tagged me to respond to a few prompts regarding things that make me happy. The request is very timely because I had a few mishaps earlier this week and I needed a reminder of times I have been happy and what I can do to get back there.

The tag is to list 5 (just 5) of each category and I could have written down a lot more but here is my partial list of:

5 Things That Make Me Happy (other than the people I love)

• Teaching someone how to do something and seeing them use the skill
• Finding a brand new book I want to read at the thrift store
• Interaction on my Blog / YouTube / Instagram (click to follow)
• 75% of sale on things I want to own
• Gifts – giving them and receiving them
