THE HAPPY THREAD =how to be happy.

Lots of things make me happy. I wouldn't know where to start right now because it's past my bedtime and I'm tired.

My lovely bed makes me happy with it's lovely white bed linen. There's a start

Good thread, Brassneck. I will catch up with it tomorrow.

The smell of a freshly cut lawn on a spring day. The zest of a lemon. Leaves swirling in the wind. The unmistakable sound of a songbird and fat pigeons making impossible landings with absolute grace.

The sound of a cascading waterfall, or the sight of a fox silhouetted against the night time sky. There's many for me.

now we are moving ,this could be a good thread,and if anyone is feeling down,they could get up in the morning and look out at the sun shining brightly in the blue sky,and listen to the birds singing,tell the wife how lucky you are to have married her(then she will be happy) and smile and feel good about having a job,and summer holidays are just around the corner,the world cup is starting soon,and the week end will be here shortly.
yes,life is what you make it,and lets all be happy.

Happiness

Not having an enormous lard arse sat either side of me on a plane or at the cinema or within breathing distance at a restaurant makes me ecstatically, joyously happy.

My happy pills make me happy....

I like to feel good by doing a kindness to someone...

Bought some shoes from "Jenny Wren" on line, and the soles were dropping very thin bits every where I walked, and made a mess on my oak floor,
so I was constantly cleaning it.

I told the supplier and, without any negotiating, she sent back the full cost.

That made me feel bad, as I still had the goods, so I asked her to send me an invoice to Pay-Pal, for half the amount.

That made me feel good again....

Simple things like receiving a warm smile, from such as a girl on the check out, makes me happy.

Cleaning my cars makes me happy....

Getting big hugs from my grand kids, when they arrive, makes me really happy....

Caring for my garden makes me happy....

Not being sad makes me deliriously happy....

Now I'm so happy, after buying a bottle of wine, that had been on sale for £11.00, and I paid just £5.50......

if you make someone else happy it will make you happy also

My dog always being happy to see me made me happy..but she died this week so now im sad

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens goes down big in some quarters.

Terrible shame black shuck, make another one happy now.

Yes saddo..mrs took in another stray that was starvin about 3 months ago..and seeing him healthy and happy makes me happy

When after a long winter the week of the us masters comes along , either just before or after Easter
And its springtime again, that Thursday possibly the best day of the year
Apart from Christmas of course its hard to find words to describe how wonderful that is
when the snow will swirl

Standing on any racecourse with the sun shining, and the horses walking round the paddock coats gleaming, and then watching the one I backed hose up , sitting with the Family having Dinner and listening to my Children having a friendly pop at one another over something trivial. Playing football with the Grand kids and making some, well to me anyway,super saves makes me happy.

The 'Ping' from a perfectly hit golf ball makes me very happy......

Putting out bird food and watching the robins' supply chain to their nest immediately leap into top gear.

As William Blake wrote (Auguries of Innocence):

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour

I always become happy when my health improves  So get some sort of health problem, and then have an improvement

Sitting outside in my garden when it's sunny and the temperature is juuust right also makes me Too cold today though

Jogging, especially when it's sunny, always lifts my mood

And today I'm happy because I've bought a new bike We'll see how long that feeling lasts

I'm happy now that my new "Air Hockey" table is all set for action, when my grandkids come at the weekend......

Good thread lots of us seem simple souls at heart I know I am.
Like workriders
Standing on any racecourse with the sun shining, and the horses walking round the paddock coats gleaming, and then watching the one I backed hose up
That is a nice feeling fully justifying the racing day out

Happiness is a cigar called 'Hamlet'.


If only I smoked!

this is a great thread,if you feel down you can come back and visit this thread and the happiness comes flooding back,everyone is giving terrific idea,s to make me feel happy life is really great,and the sun is shining in my heart.

Like others have already mentioned, put me on a racetrack an hour before the first race so I can soak in the atmosphere whilst having a pint and going through the card with friends and family and I'm a very happy bunny. Be it a wet and windy Monday afternoon at Plumpton or a day at Glorious Goodwood, it matters not to me which. Of all the sports I've followed throughout my life, rugby, greyhound racing, golf, NFL, football, cricket etc the one consistent in all of those has been how much I still absolutely love a day at the races and that will never change.

Remembering when my Dad use to sing the chorus of this  when I was a boy, it kind of makes me feel happy when I listen to it now.  - He died a few years ago.

Quality time with my granddaughter

I'm happy that I woke up this morning, and I'm not dead...........yet

Even though it's a miserable rainy day, just seeing the beautifully formed multi-coloured blooms of tulips massed in my flower border lifted my spirits. The small effort of planting the bulbs in the autumn is well rewarded.

I have a blackbird nest in my hedge and watching the male and female jumping in and out around their feeding has cheered me up,I mighn't be so happy when the chicks are born will have to be on cat watch but fine now.

the word FRIDAY makes some people happy

It's the blasted Magpies you need to watch Denzil!

They jump up and down on the hedge, to see where the birds fly out, and then will eat either the eggs or chicks!

I hate them with a vengeance, and not afraid to say that I have taken out more than a few!

Aye L F V I've chased a fair few in the past they're cunning sods,I'm concerned as haven't seen the female since yesterday afternoon
Might need something else to cheer me up now.

I'm feeling sad now, too, worrying about Denzil's blackbirds

I am in complete agreement with you SlippyBlue, I always get to the racecourse early as I think I prefer the anticipation, calmness and camaraderie of my family and friends more than the hustle and bustle of the race meeting itself (which I love too).

My children make me happy, especially when they do something that makes me a proud Dad. Simple things with family and friends make me happy, just a night in the pub with my mates makes me happy. For my fiftieth birthday party in a couple of months I have hired accomodation for 24 of us in stunning countryside, in the Wales for a weekend of walking, eating and drinking; that will make me very happy!

Lying in a warm bath for a few hours whilst listening to some gentle music and thinking about nothing. Bliss.

Got a letter in the post this morning, totally unexpected, that gave me £3,343.36 in cash! Long story but suffice to say it has made me very happy today!

Nice one Aspro

Thanks Denzil. We don't often get gifts like that!

that would make anybody happy Aspro

What a result Aspro, lovely job!

Thanks guys... my favourite band MMH. Appropriate but don't think it's enough for a Lear Jet or buying my own football team

maybe not, but you'll be able to treat yourself to some caviar

bah humbug.

that's all.

your last day at work before the summer holidays and the sun is splitting the trees
your last day at work before the christmas holidays and the snow is starting to fall.

I got a similar result. I've forwarded the £500 release fee (red tape apparently) and I'm expecting my cash any day now.

I'm deleriously happy, now that I get to keep my driving license...
