I spent much of the day today thinking about what made me happy. The subject seems to be coming up a lot – perhaps the Universe is testing me to see if I really know what makes me happy and if I am ensuring I make those things a regular part of my life! Gotta walk the talk and all that…

If you ask yourself what makes you happy, can you answer it straight away? I was thinking on it today while clarifying some course work for the workshop I am co-running in a couple of weeks. I knew a couple of things immediately. It then took me a few moments – I guess to connect with my true self – before I was then able to write down quite a few more. I was delighted by the list I came up with because it said ‘me’ in a nutshell and that felt really lovely. It also highlighted how simple I am….!

Here are a few things that make me happy (not tellin’ ya all of them….!) :

• Drinking tea on the back step in the sun.
• Eating a healthy meal I have made from scratch.
• Riding a horse.
• Feeling a warm breeze on my skin.
• Diving into the ocean and swimming under water, feeling weightless and free.
• Feeling sunshine on my face.
• Picking warm figs off a tree and eating them immediately.
• Bright colours and designs.
• Listening to music.
• A very hot bath.
• A steam or sauna & feeling the warmth right inside my bones.
• Walking barefoot on the beach.
• Watching Finn play.
• Watching Finn sleep!

Funny, reading back over that list makes me realise I am in desperate need of a Summer Holiday!!!!!

Today I made myself happy by going for a massage then spending the afternoon in bed with tea, chocolate and a movie. Bliss.

I hope you can think of something you experienced today that made you happy?
