List things that uplift you, put you in a good mood, make you happy.
FOOD [see my name]
making others happy makes me happy. which is why i am a comedian & do other things also that have one thing in common. “making OTHER PEOPLE happy”
Understanding Pashut P’shat Rashi.
among some of the other things i do (some need to remain anonymous) one other thing i do is give FREE advice as a psychologist to help people get their lives back on track. a person does not deserve to live a life of depression & sadness etc… so i assist people on all issues, from self-esteem & self-image issues to marriage & family issues etc…
for this i give you a bracha you should never need my help
Learning Hashem’s holy Torah (which is the reason that learning in the regular manner is forbidden on Tisha B’Av).
Davening.
Making brachos to Hashem.
Putting on tefillin, or doing other mitzvos.
Shabbos Kodesh and Yomim Tovim, including Purim.
Drinking wine (in honor of a mitzvah).
Knowing I am good at my job and am appreciated for my work ethic and friendly manner, Ive had periods when I went from one job to another and never feeling like I belonged or mattered Ive been at this job for 6 months now and feel like I am really at home.
Cutting down trees, walking backwards down the street, Drambui.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY
– Meeting up old friends (like here! HAVNT BEEN HERE IN ages!!!)
– Talking to Hashem
– The feeling of accomplishment.
– Inspiring someone else
– Overcoming the yetzer hara
– Being myself
Chicken
Chicken Jokes
Chicken Dances
Chicken Soup
And those little Red Pills.
shalom bayis, nachas….
Sometimes, nothing. And the fact that nothing does, when I have so much going for me in my life, and knowing how truly blessed I am with what I have in my life, only makes me sadder still.
The Wolf
WolfishMusings, you sound like you need a vacation.
Even when things are going well, sometimes routine makes pple moody.
My aineklach, and the countless other brachos in my life, make me Supremely Happy. I am happy to be a Jew, I am happy to wake up every morning, even when life is extremely unpleasantly challenging and painful, as it has been this past week (really past month), and I am happy that I can still get up on two feet, see the world around me, hear the laughter of children, and eat the great food that I cook (she said, modestly), or if I am lucky enough to have someone else cook for me. I am most happy when my three year old grandson hugs me and says, “I love you to Hashem, Bubby.” My older grandchildren also bring my husband and me great nachas.
I think even the saddest among us, must have SOMETHING that makes them happy, at least SOME of the time. And if not, then it is just that they have not as yet recognized it. Loving Hashem, makes me really happy, because it permeates the rest of my life and relationships. I hope everyone here finds their happiness.
Being sad makes me happy.
Wow, that sounds really depressing.
Having a minyan that I enjoy davening at. Feeling at home in two shules, with diverse members, nearly all of whom are pretty nice people.
I am happy that b”H I wake up every morning in Eretz Yisrael Hakdosha, along the border between Ephraim and Menashe.
Having a leaky water pipe fixed, so we have cold water, hot water, and water pressure, without the water meter spinning around and around . . . .
oomis, thank you for sharing that.
I would say even when I am depressed, looking forward to Shabbos morning keeps me going: Torah study class with the rov and getting to daven with a friendly minyan. Sometimes it’s the only time I smile all week. B”H for that.
being with my family and friends always makes me happy! and the kinderlach that i teach make me happy. and just looking around my apartment realizing it belongs to me and my husband, and that i have a husband, who is a great guy who does so much for me and is so good to me, who laughs with me, among the million other things he does, that all is a pretty good way to make me happy. and also music, that’s a biggie. and cupcakes, of course (and donuts and cookies and cake and pizza and french fries and hot dogs, and the like)
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 even writing about it made me soooo happy!!
What makes me happy is making others smile. I go to a nursing home nearby and visit the old people and seeing their faces light up makes me feel productive and content.
A good joke. like, why don’t blind people go skydiving ? because it would scare the seeing eye dogs!
Bump.
