I recently read an interesting article on happiness and some of the personal comments that people said make them happy. It's no surprise that close relationships with family and friends was the number one response, but some people did say that animals in the order of dogs, birds and cats make them happy.
Some of the other responses were 27% involved things with nature and 18% mentioned things relating to food. Also mentioned were individual experiences people had, one being a good cup of coffee. But, what about some of the unique comments that were made? Here are a few of my favorites:
1. Sandi from Florida said, "Soap bubbles. They make everyone happy that sees them. I've gotten stuck on the 405 in LA with traffic at a standstill, frustrated honking all around and one wand of wedding bubbles change the whole attitude of the people around me. If you drive 3 miles an hour and stick the wand out of your sunroof, you can bubble a whole area with hundreds of bubbles in just a few seconds, then just watch the magic happen."
2. Carole from Chile said, "Conversations with random people that I meet around the world of different cultures, nationalities, and backgrounds. Sharing and laughing together is a beautiful reminder that we have so much more in common as human beings than we do differences that polarize us."
3. Alex from Philadelphia said, "Big puppets! I know. It sounds weird, but human performers inside large puppets on movie sets, Broadway, or lion dancers give me a sense of awe. The art of the puppet meets the art of the performance and you can forget what you're seeing is just human dressed up."
4. Francine from Texas said, "Waking up next to my smiling husband every morning every morning of our 36 years of marriage."
5. Dannon from Maryland said, "Laughing babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults. All the laughter. When people are happy it spreads naturally."
