I'm happiest when... Can't Post

When are you happiest?

None of the options are mutually exclusive (or aren't intended to be), so feel free to choose any answer that applies to you, even if that's all of them. Smile

I guess I meant reading [In reply to] Can't Post

To either go with relaxing or challenging your brain, depending on the book. Smile
But I should probably have added some specific activities like reading that can fit into more than one catagory. BlushSmile

Thanks, Ataahua Smile

I voted all of the above [In reply to] Can't Post

Because variety is the spice of life for me. I like to mix things up. I am cool with chilling or having a fun day out. As long as you don't drag me out the door everyday all day I'm perfectly game for going out and having fun.

Doing taxes? [In reply to] Can't Post

That would be a big fat no! I selected several, and agree with Daughter of Laketown that variety is the key. I went to a concert tonight and we ended up dancing in front of the stage - I'd say that's when I'm having the most fun. But hanging out with family, friends, going out to movies/dinner/other city activities, traveling, exploring nature, relaxing, reading - it's all good! Cool

I will clarify [In reply to] Can't Post

the one where it lists doing tasks, I do NOT like doing taxes in that (though we are still at the point where we get nice refunds every year, so that's a plus)- I meant tasks like canning, sewing, preparing food, cleaning, that sort of thing Wink

I was *mostly* facetious on that one :D [In reply to] Can't Post

Though I have known people who can't have fun until everything that needs to be done is done. So in a way, they almost seem happy doing those tedious things. I'm sort of that way but usually ignore the feeling. Laugh

I do actually enjoy cleaning out and organizing rooms/ closets once I get started. It's the getting started that's the challenge. Crazy

I said "all of the above" [In reply to] Can't Post

being out in nature & hanging with friends being top. You didn't have a "singing" or "making music" option which I would have chosen as well. Or "making meals." And definitely "gardening."

I guess I'm a pretty happy camper most of the time, come to think of it.

Although, on second thought, throw in a few logs and other fences. Wink

Some of the above. [In reply to] Can't Post

Although I voted for more than one. I guess the combo of these would be playing my guitar with my family while working in the yard with my iPod jamming some of my favorite tunes and thinking up the next outlandish word to play in Words With Friends against AE, all the while anticipating a relaxing time in front of the TV enjoying a cold one with the Mrs. after running a 5k, taking a warm bath and dining out. Mostly though, I enjoy the simplest of things - not waking up dead.

Cool question Zarabia! [In reply to] Can't Post

I combined 'nature' and 'puttering' = gardening.
