Things That Make Us Happy, are often the simple things in life!

When I was a kid, I use to think that a sports car and a big fancy house with lots of property would bring me the most happiness!

I was the guy that would give irritated “How annoying” looks to couples with babies who would be crying in a restaurant.

But now I’m a dad, and those crying babies in restaurants are now just white noise to me. If fact, sometimes hearing those babies cry makes me smile for a split second… At least at first!

Okay, I digress…

Things That Make Me Happy:

When my son laughs! It’s a great hardy laugh that makes me feel great inside!

When my daughter learns something new quickly, or creates something original and cool!

Reading to either of my kids. I like the idea of me helping any way that I can.

Receiving earnest hugs from either of my kids, obviously it’s a great feeling.

When my 6-year-old daughter wants to snuggle with her daddy…, she is a truly wonderful little girl.

Watching family movie night at home, while having popcorn, drinks and snacks.

Playing my son in a game of chess. He’s really gotten a lot better at the game, and even though I mostly beat him (so far), it’s make me feel great that he’s improving.

Getting stomped by my daughter in the memory matching games. Lately, she destroys me in those type of games.

Going on family vacations with my entire family, including my parents and sister’s family.

Writing this blog…

So you see, for me I really don’t need fancy stuff! Just the love of a great family is enough for me!

What thing makes you the most happy?
