My cat. Even though she can be bratty. I love her....she's stuck to me like glue when my daughter was in the hospital.

She's on my bed now sleeping next to me...all furry, fuzzy and soft.
 
I haven't aspired to "happy" in so long I have no fin'g idea. I just abide and have some glimpses of peace, calm, contentment, and yeah joy. Happiness I find really overrated but then I am an jaded, stoic at my core and likely am looking to hard at what I have to manage and am probably missing opportunities to be "happy". Maybe I traded happy for peace and calm... I dunno.
 
Being hugged or given flowers. Pretty scenery or pictures of it. Light, the dawn, sunrises and sunsets, walking along the beach with my toes in the ocean, chatting with good friends, in person, by phone, online, just that it is good quality communication, not just a hi, how are you, answers and bye, but sharing feelings, stories about our lives, experiences, jokes, coffee, tea, having the things I need....
 
singing with people, dancing with people, walks on the beach, knowing I have friends now, laughing with my man, snuggles with my man, feeding and eating with my kids, good convos with my children, peers, friends, partner, after writing when I'm happy with my work, making a good meal others appreciate, losing weight, eating a nice meal others made for me, eating healthy delicious food I.make myself (but not when I overeat) getting exercise when.I'm feeling safe, after yoga, NIA, a good session with my T
 
When my dad's dog starts bucking my armpit for attention when I just got done giving him a good chest rub a second earlier. When my niece over puckers for a kiss goodbye. When my sister's Siamese cat comes up to say hello but then leaves right away to pick on Addy the Shitzu. I have this thing for animals so animal stories or videos or photos are my forte.
