What makes you happy?

We bend head over heels to have a successful life in the hopes of having perpetual happiness. What are some things that makes you happy. Here's a modest list of what makes me happy..

1. Helping others: Especially when it is done with a loved one..it brings great joy to help someone with a kind gesture, time spent with them, especially, the elderly, or even as simple as sincere words of appreciation.
2. Feeling Needed: When I feel that my actions or words will have a positive impact on another life.
3. Spending quality time with family:
Oh, I love to snuggle and talk sweet nothings on the recliner with my family. They are the BEST!
4.Contentment: Having an honest idea of one's strengths and weaknesses, and not being unreasonable in comparing one's life with others.
5. Family: Maintaining the strong family ties no matter what.
6. Not sweating the small stuff: Easier said that done, somethings are not worth the attention to detail
7. Not always worrying about what others think:
Also an acquired quality, never let others decide what makes you happy, take care of yourself.
