Mental Health What makes you happy?

I find that it is the little things that make me happy and the big things that make me sad. I'm in Ecuador right now and all the adorable puppies for sale everywhere you turn and then all the abandoned street dogs make me sad. The five year olds that shine people's shoes all day make me sad. Seeing an indigenous family walking down the street together laughing and talking, the oldest son with his arm around his father and holding the youngest sister's hand made me happy on my way home tonight. I feel sad about my son's death every day. I feel happy that I knew him every day, too. I guess overall my emotions make me happy, or at least I am comfortable with them. It has been suggested to me, and part of the reason for my travels right now, that I "let go" of my sadness for my son. I am struggling with this in part because I have always felt comfortable with my sadness.
 
Being awake, and seeing others awake makes me happy.... Seeing people asleep makes me sad.

Unconscious dreamers...Such a pity.

Now, the Devil will 'collect' his.... This is true.

But God, he doesn't collect... he waits for 'his' to come to him.
 
i love the sudden roars of a crowd at sporting events/concerts, that gigantic wave of positive energy is automatic goosebumps

yet, i'm just a clapper
 
^Just a clapper? You think the energy comes from the sights and the sounds of the crowd? Naw, man! It comes from their thoughts and emotions. You are part of that.

I'm happy when I see people living in harmony with themselves, each other, and their environment; I was recently brought to tears watching a Tibetan funeral ceremony in which the cycle was completed by a group of vultures. I won't go into details, but to me it was such a show of love for the individual and their life cycle. So intimate...

What makes me sad is seeing self-serving behaviour; be it my own, or that of others.

escape from life makes me happy. life makes me sad.

great.
 
What makes me happy is humor. I just love to laugh and make others smile and laugh along with me.
 
Live music makes me happy. A good show is as close to church as I am likely to ever get.

society and our lack of compassion for one another makes me sad.
 
Knowing that when all is said an done.. The void is waiting.

Nah..

I like it when my girlfriend is happy.

It makes m happy when i have the confidence to socialise with my friends with minimal anxiety.

It makes me happy when i help someone.. unless they don't appreciate it.. then it'd make me happy pushing them in the mud.
 
Bumblebees make me happy.

I like seeing the seasons change...

There are people I miss and hope to see again. That still makes me sad...

Ohh, and the fact that since my cat had kittens she has been hunting mice frequently. Sad.
