Things That Make Me Happy
I recently came across a post by Devang from FGW about things that make him happy. He had invited fellow bloggers to join in and share posts about things that make them happy too. And I thought for a change I would stop whining about everything and be grateful for the things that make me happy. Although, to be clear, whining does make me ecstatic. It’s just that I think it’s time to talk about more of my interests rather than whining. So without further ado, here are five things that make me happy:
Friends And Family
My friends and family are what make me the happiest. Spending time with them is always a pleasure. As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, I am spending more time which my cousins which has been fun. I am also incredibly happy when I spend time or converse with friends. I’m sure you know DentMistry from my many lifestyle posts that feature her. She’s the best friend a girl could ask for and has the kindest heart! I’m forever grateful for friends and family!
Books/TV/Music
I am someone who likes to keep myself occupied. And books, movies, TV and music have always been my favourite methods of tuning out from the world. I talk about this quite often on this blog so I’m sure you’re not surprised that I included these here.
Food
Food makes me so incredibly happy. Ever since I went vegan, I have been so much more experimental with my food and it’s been fun. I’ve been sharing a lot of recipes and what I eat posts so you guys know the kinds of dishes I have been enjoying. Food is definitely something I am very grateful for.
Animals
I love animals so much. There is nothing I love more than spending time with animals. It makes me so happy. They are so sweet, innocent and pure.
Work
This one might surprise you but yes, work is on my list. I’m a freelancer for those of you that don’t know and I love my work. I love writing, I love blogging, I love helping others with their blogs and social media, I love reading tarots and everything else I do. These days, not many people do what they love. And not many people can say that they love their job. I am really grateful to have the privilege of being able to do what I love every day. I don’t know if I would be this satisfied with any other job. Of course, all this includes my blog too and I am so happy when I blog. I can’t even describe how much I love my Lifesfinewhiners!

I needed to read this today, my friend. Thank you.
Thanks so much, hope this reminder helped.
Working on it every day.
That’s wonderful. It took me a long time to change my mindset and become more optimistic but it does work if you keep at it. I still wouldn’t say I’m an optimist but I’m no longer as pessimistic.
Pooja, beautiful blog, as always 😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😊
My pleasure😊🥰🙏
Pulled that plug out.
Anyway, nice post. It’s always good to write what makes you happy.🙂
Thanks so much. It’s good to remind ourselves to be grateful for the good. It’s easier said than done though. When I have a depressive episode everything looks bad.
Animals… they are better people than most people. In fact they are on this world to teach us and remind us how to be better people. Every primary school should have Animals in the classroom
I completely agree with you. Animals teach us so much about life and how to be kinder.
I like food.
Food is awesome.
Love this thought! I’m going to do a blog right now!!!
Thanks so much! I’m excited to read yours!
Well my favorite blogger has written this now I am happy. 😊
😁
These are some great things. Small but very impactful. And we don’t need fancy things to be happy, it’s just around us.
Thanks for the great prompt! It helped me be grateful on a day I was feeling off.
It’s all about the small things 😊
What I found funny is you said
You recently came across my post. As if you weren’t reading it anyway and accidentally stopped 😝.
Next time you feel low
Look in the mirror 🪞
There’s a beautiful girl on other side. Think of her, how precious she is. You need to make sure to make her happy.
Other way of feeling high could be going level 24. 😝
I did actually come across it accidentally cos it was on the top of my Reader 😅 Usually I specifically look for your posts by searching your blog but this time it just happened to be there!
Lol nope, Level 24 is too expensive 😫
Lovely share, Pooja.
.. and so true that these days many do what is needed to do without taking the time to do what they want and love to do.
a great share from Devang too.
🤍
Thanks so much. Absolutely, so many do what they have to but don’t enjoy it. I find myself lucky to be able to do what I love daily.
always a pleasure and glad you shared your happiness with us🤍
Love this happiness list! Friends and family and writing make my top two. 🙂
Thanks so much! Mine too 😊
A lot of common things on our list but definitely food is high on my list of things that make me happy! I also think sunshine on a bad day makes me feel happy. You know those crappy days and you walk out into the sun and bam, it suddenly uplifts your mood.
Sunshine is great, I love going for walks when I feel down!
Beautiful blog. These things make me happy too.
Thank you so much. Glad to hear that.
A great list Pooja.
Thank you so much.
You’re most welcome 🙏🏼
Great blog post Pooja and what a pleasant list of things that make you happy. As for me, food is top of the list👍👍
Thank you so much. Food is one of the best things we have in life 😊
Yeah and we absolutely cannot live without food, just kidding haha😂😂😂😁. Have a great day Pooja👍
Haha have a great day too 😃
Being grateful for the good stuff in our lives is incredibly important. Glad you found that original post and are doing this one 🙂
I so agree, as humans we’re so preoccupied with the bad that we forget the good. Thanks 🙂
There are lots of things that make me happy. I need to curate the list and blog about it. I’m happy I’m flying back home to my love, I can’t wait. He is my number one source of happiness
That’s amazing, so happy that you two can finally reunite. One month is a long time to be away from the person you love.
Totally, it felt like 3 months
No more early morning and Chinese food? 😢
I’m this way at home too, waking up way too early and go out for Chinese food
Indeed, it’s a blessing to have a job that you like.
It really is, so many people are not able to do what they love.
Awww I love you too bestie!! I can’t imagine going through life without you ❤️
Love you boo, so lucky to have you in my life! ❤️
Amazing post.
Thanks so much.
I appreciate a good whine. 😅 There’s an art to doing it without being a drain on everyone and you’re definitely not a vampire. People connect more over similar complaints; I think I read that in a very trustworthy book somewhere.
Thank you for saying that because it does take a lot of skill to whine successfully. And years of practice of course 😅
Also totally agree, I think complaints bring people together in a weird way lol.
What an uplifting and inspiring post, Pooja. 💖
Thank you so much 😊
My pleasure, Pooja.
well said, always remember to count those blessings too, as we can be blessed in more ways than we realize at times. I especially agree with the fifth one, as many people do not enjoy their work as they hate it, but they should. It’s true you might not start off doing the job you want, but work towards the job you want to do and enjoy it. There is no purpose in doing a job for 30 years, but yet hate it.
Absolutely, it’s important to be grateful for the blessings we have.
So true, I know so many people who hate what they do but do nothing to change their situation. I’m so lucky to be able to do what I love.
Great post, Pooja! They are so “ordinary” and we take them for granted. But these are what make life worth living!
Thanks so much! It’s honestly those little things that keep us happy!
Great post Pooja!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
Great post. I enjoyed reading it. The pictures are nice as well. There are so many things that makes me happy, I don’t even know where to start.
Thanks so much. I’m so glad you have so much to be happy for. I hope you continue being happy.
Thank you.
You’re very welcome.
My five:
– spending time with my sweety
– cycling long distances
– listening to and writing about music
– food
– an afternoon snooze in the screened porch
Those are all great. I forgot about naps those are one of my favourite things that make me happy too!
Sleeping in general is kind of good, though it takes away from awake time! 😜
Lol true 😅
Great post right now what makes me happiest is my family. I love that we have such a special relationship.
That’s so nice, family is something to be truly grateful for.
What makes me happy? Let’s see. Umm… I’ll let you know if I come up with something. OK?
Take all the time you need…
That is a happy list! 🥰 Love where and how you started your list. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
W/O a doubt: Indoor plumbing, air-conditioning, washing machine & dryer, printing press/books, gasoline. [Showing my age :-)]
Haha those are smart things to be thankful for:)
Good list!
Thanks!
Thanks Pooja for sharing this wonderful post. I can definitely say watching my children growing up is what makes me the most happiest
That’s really sweet, I think many parents feel that way.
Hi Pooja. How have you been? I missed blogging in the month of August. But now I am back.
5 things that make me happy are – family, dogs, indulging in any creative activity like dancing/writing/reading/ baking, shopping, and listening to few stand up comedians really makes me happy.
I’ve been good and hope you have been well too. I did notice you weren’t around this month and I am happy to see you back now. Hope you had a good break.
This is so sweet, but work tho? 🤣🤣.
I can’t help it I love working 😫🤣
Nothing wrong with that 🙂.
Great selection. Certainly relate to friends and family 🙂
Thanks so much 🙂
Welcome 🙂
Bro, I was working on my own 5 Things that make me happy post but sadly it was never finished. Reading yours gave me a boost. My no. 1 on the list is my cat🤪
This is your sign to finish it! Aw that’s so nice. If I had a cat it would be my no. 1 too 🥹
Great list and love this post, Pooja! Mine are family, animals, writing, reading, and backpacking. You’re so lucky to love your job because you’re right, not everyone is in that happy job boat. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much! Those are great and backpacking sounds so fun. I want to travel a lot more in the future. Thanks and have a great weekend too!
Nice and interesting post, thank you for sharing
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Family and friends usually top the list.😊
What makes me happy.
1. Family & friends
2. Knowing that God is on my side.
3.Work
4. A good movie/series
5. Any form of literature.
6. Cooking a tasty meal.
These are all wonderful things and yes friends and family is the most important 😊
Lovely post ❤️🔥 always simple things flattered our hearts.
Thanks so much, absolutely it’s always the simple things that make us happiest 😊
This is such a nice and positive post! I would love to put “Work” on the list of things that make me happy, but alas it is not the case ahah! I think I completely share your list, and would also add “Learning new things” and “Sunny days” to it!
Thanks so much! That’s great and that’s fair, it’s tough to find work we love these days.
