It’s been so long since I wrote a post here. Oh yes, #fictionmonday posts do appear here. But I am missing out on the old blogging action. Also, I have been lax on writing my monthly gratitude post.
In an effort to revive the old writing habit on this blog, I am choosing to write a list of things that make me happy. You are welcome to write your list and share it with me. I would love to read yours.

This list is not complete. There are a lot more little things that bring happiness in my life.
But I find writing this down is helpful in reminding myself of all the good things in life. Especially now, when things are different. What I like about my list of happiness is that it comprises of all little joys. There are some big joys that I get to experience occasionally. But the value of little joys is immeasurable.
What do you think? Would you like to list a few things that make you happy in the comments? Or write a post and share the link with me. 🙂
Hi, Very Nice Article.
Thanks For Sharing, Keep Up The Good Work.
Isn’t it wonderful that our lists expand as we continue to practice gratitude? Your lovely list is promoting me to write one of my own. Thank you for the inspiration, Vini.
I liked your list, Vini. It’s indeed the little things that matter more, but we rarely understand it! ;P
Some of the things that make me happy are right here, in this post: drinking my fav coffee, talking to friends, doodling, clearing my book/stationary drawers, my me-time, reading, yoga, walk…sometimes sleeping, too!
🙂
Lovely list and its certainly therapeutic to jot things like this down. I anyways find making a list very therapeutic – it takes away a lot of my stress, leaving me very happy 😉
I love sleeping or just lying in bed- one of my happiest things to do, then there are the morning walks in the forested areas of gurgaon that I can go to and my morning cuppa makes me a very happy person!
I have been spending a lot of time on audio books and pinterest these days- both are huge stress busters for me too.
Wonderful list… a reminder of how the smallest things can make big difference in our lives.
I love the 30 things on your list! I can write some more things that you put on to my paper!
