I think everyone needs a little extra happiness in their lives right now, so please share something that always makes you happy. No politics, nothing sexist, nothing racist, nothing homophobic, nothing transphobic, nothing xenophobic, and in general, nothing discriminatory. That includes comments, you will be downvoted into oblivion. Also, just advice about how to deal with life and avoid depression would be great!
For me, itโs painting and listening to music. I like to zone out and create! This is a paint-by-the-numbers, and it was pretty easy!

When my son gets laboratory results that his kidney is working perfectly normal, after it being the gift of life from a donor who left this world.

These are really hard times. I try to find happiness watching movies, calling friends, growing flowers for the bees that come and see me. Music and books are good friends, too.

Stand up comedy mainly but i love all comedy. As they say laughter is the best medicine. I teach to students from all walks of life and i always like to have a laugh with them. It helps them to feel more comfortable in the classroom and to forget their worries. A sense of humour goes a long way!

A good, joyful, genuine belly laugh! A laugh that goes on for a long time, and goes into the next day, and then it becomes a memory - but a memory that you can't help but still chuckle at years down the road! A memory built on laughter always makes me smile, and laugh some more, and then I simply forget everything that is horrible and sad in the world and just keep on going! A laugh that brings tears to your eyes, and you just let them go until all is mixed and I never know what to feel after! A good joke, a funny situation, an endearing moment, and life itself just make me smile like nothing else - except for a good laugh!

Finding a good comedy movie and watching it with a big tub of popcorn. Also, I love all the funny posts here on BP. The comments are the best part. ๐

Jesus Christ makes me smile โบ. He is the reason that life is worth living for me. Spending time in presence of God by reading the bible and just worshiping brings me so much joy and peace even when I am going through tough times. He freed me from a whole lot of addictions and mental illness,what is so awesome about him is that he loves us all just the way we are. No sin can take away his love from us and you don't have to fix yourself before going to him. He says come as you are He will do the rest. He gave me a purpose, I was so lost in this world man. Jesus Christ loves you just as he finds you!

Sand Glorious Sand. I collect sand - people bring me sand as gifts from their travels. Often, it is only the sand that collects in the bottom of their beach bags, which is perfect! None from Hawai'i because we shall not anger the gods! (or destroy the coast line...) I'm landlocked in the middle of the US, but was born on the coast and miss big water and beaches, so when I need a little vacation, I grab one of the jars, usually San Diego or Bahamas, stick my fingers in there and imagine the salt air, the pounding waves, and relax... https://www.instagram.com/p/BDTSInlRWjR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Ooh a toughie. Itโs hard to find that one thing that always makes you happy, especially when you suffer mental illness. I currently find it very hard to find much joy but I am trying. Donโt get me wrong I have happy moments but being actually happy happy (if that makes sense) is hard to find. Spending a weekend with just hubby was amazing and I was very happy, taking the kids out for the day and the joy on their faces made me happy, going camping makes me happy (although havenโt gone camping this year yet), spending time with my brothers and my mum playing board games or doing an adventure room etc and animals especially my dog.

Music! ๐ผ๐ถ๐ต
Some melodies or lyrics just invigorate your very soul, others are so relaxing it gives you a certain serenity ๐ถ๐ต

Music, books and my little brothers antics are a sure way to light up my day, no matter how hard it is.

Laughing Babies. At a particularly low point in my life, shortly after my divorce and right about the time the new guy in my life cheated on me with his ex-wife, I came across this video of a baby laughing while his dad tore sheets of paper. I laughed until I cried, and watched it over and over until I felt some of the weight of current events slip from my shoulders. I still see out laughing babies whenever I need a grin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPp-FfmAip4
