Looking at the little wooden figurine shown in this post keeps me wondering.
What, exactly, makes a happy heart?
Each person is different so answers will be different, too.
However, it's a good question to ponder.
Here's a little list of some things that make my heart happy:
1) Gratitude for big and even the tiniest of things
2) Love from family members and friends including adult children
and their spouses
3) Grandchildren, near and far
4)Flowers....any kind, color, and design.
5) Candles, especially scented ones
6) Writing
7) Praying
8) Ice cream
9) Music
10) Beautiful things around the home
11) Thrift store, yard, and estate sale shopping
12) Cell phone and computer
13) Ability to see, hear, feel, touch, taste, and walk
There! There's a baker's dozen.
COULD YOU SHARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU THINK MAKE A HAPPY HEART? Please?
So many of these things make me happy too, Susan. I especially can relate to love from family members and grandchildren, candles, and having all of my senses. I also love Prayer, and when saying the Rosary, it makes my heart peaceful.
ReplyDeleteOh, and good food makes me happy! And Coffee and Chocolate!
And shopping. And seeing deer out my window. I'll add those. : )

I guess the one thing that makes me most happy is good health. When I hear of all the things some of my family and friend are facing I feel really lucky and happy I'm doing ok in my old age. I love music and eating sunshine and swimming and talking with my family and going to concerts and things like that. Here's hoping YOU have a happy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteYour list is good!
ReplyDeleteI would like to add the stars in the sky. :)
