I love this post so much. You hit so many things that if I copy and pasted all of the parts that I agreed with, my post would be nearly as long as yours!

I will copy a few that I really enjoyed, and can relate to!

drinking Vodka with the Russians

being alive

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Thank you, happiness is when someone read my post and answered the question! :)

Me too! :)

This post was really awesome and I think it is absolutely one of the most under-valued posts on here. I'm going to randowhale upvote you :)

It's ok, I just write for myself now. But I'm happy if someone reads. :) Thanks !

I feel the same way (writing for myself and being happy if someone reads). But it's always nice to get more recognition!

I'll be reading :)

Fixing the error and running the query
The success of my students
A job well done
Making something
Learning something new
Walking in the forest
Walking in the storm
Staring at a fire

Making something
Learning something new
Staring at a fire

These make me happy too, thanks for sharing!

That is the longest list of happiness that I have ever seen.

You are the lucky girl,...

Thank you!

Good luck on Steemit

That is one impressive list of happiness, fantastic! Hmm, for me... I don't want to totally flood your thread with a gigantic list, so I will try and choose perhaps my top three... Wow, that makes it tough actually, there are so many things that make me happy... Alright: Happiness is a book I can't put down, a woman I don't want to let go and writing a poem that makes me weep with joy and regret. Keep it up!

I love your happiness list! You are free to flood my content with what makes you happy. :)

This post has soooooo many different ideas on what a person can choose to be grateful for at this exact moment! This is a great gratitude list incase someone doesn't know what types of things they can be grateful for! Thanks girl <3 @diabolika

Thanks. No worries! :)

had to smile when I read free wifi :-)

...to appreciate what I have.
...being able to empty my head, stop the thoughts and just be.
