identify 10 things that make me happy

If I have found one thing that makes me truly happy, I have more than many in the world today.

Well, my friend told me to do this, so I started it and I got stuck on 6! So I googled to find what makes others happy.. Turns out it’s a lot of the little things mixed in…
here’s my list
1. Traveling/Experiencing new things. Cultures, foods, new places,philosophies, music, people.
2. Working hard and then Playing just as hard.
3. Make a difference with what I do/ who I am
4. Church/Knowing who I am and where I came from.
5. Balance of Nature. Keeping it close.
6. Educational opportunities within field of expertise
7. Finding Solutions-experience
8. Spending time talking to family and friends.. Especially family.
9. Loving my Job.
10. Discovering new talents.

As I think about it, the list could become more specific and more diverse… So many things to make people happy:
Someone missing you and getting excited to see you
Someone laughing at a story or joke of yours
Walking the dog.
Laughing with strangers.
Meeting random people and having a pleasant conversation with them in a matter of seconds.
Road-trips… YEAH!!!
Hearing a favorite song randomly on a bad day just out of the blue
Running into an old friend you haven’t seen in years.
Realizing the world is really a small place
The list goes on and on and on….
