10 things that make me happy

October 24th, 2008

I have never done a numbered list before (as far as I remember), and now two in one week… it isn’t something I plan on making too much of a habit of.

Peter Donegan suggested that we make a list of ten things that make us happy today to “cheers this country up.” So I thought I’d give it a go. I knew it would be difficult.

How specific to be? Life itself? Life, and generally living make me happy. But maybe a little more specific. My macbook, the internet, coffee etc. When I began making the list I got stuck after number 5. Eventually the rest did come to me.

Having gotten the list down, I will add that I am rarely satisfied. Maybe with an individual task or minor achievement, but never with the whole picture. Though I see that as a good thing. Always pushing myself and trying harder, which, I think, is part of the reason the list was so hard. Anyway, here it is. Be happy :)

  1. Taking photographs
  2. Music
  3. Writing
  4. Meeting new people
  5. Being recognised for my photographs
  6. Travelling
  7. Not having to get up early
  8. The kindness of others
  9. Coffee
  10. My Macbook.
