Discussion: Things That Make You Happy

Carrie Pictures 2012 281

After learning that yesterday (Friday) at noon, the nineteen year old family cat died I think I need some cheering up.  He died peacefully in his sleep and of course I’m sad but it’s also a relief as well.  He wasn’t doing very well these past few weeks and I’m glad he’s no longer in any pain.  And in a way, I sort of had a feeling the end was coming on Friday.  Call it intuition but I wasn’t all that surprised to hear the news.  I know he was just a cat, but Tommy was with the family for pretty much as long as I can remember and I’ll miss him.

That’s why the discussion for this week is entirely selfish.  I want to know this: what makes you happy?  Music?  Family?  Pets?  Friends?  Simple things, like sleeping in on a Sunday or re-reading your favourite book?
