Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Happiness Challenge

Happiness Challenge

There have been several of these threads in the past and I think it's time for another one. The idea is to challenge yourself everyday to post something that makes you happy. You could also do it every other day, once a week, whatever works for you. I'll start. 

It makes me very happy when I wake to see the sun shining.

I love the moments right before a thunderstorm when the sky is all grey and it's very windy and there's anticipation in the air.

Seeing multiple pages of handwritten words next to each other. I have no idea why this satisfies me so much.

What makes me happy:

The smell of bookstores, and also the atmosphere of bookstores. Especially if it's raining outside and you walk into a warm bookstore, the sound going from the repetition of rain to silence, with the beeping of a scanner and soft footsteps and the turning of pages. My favorite book smell is the inky smell of a new graphic novel. I love how crisp the pages of a novel are, before they've been turned hundreds of times. I love how ordered the shelves are. I love the sound footsteps make on the wooden floors, how sometimes I like to see just how silent I can be as I walk. 

I also love the smell of paint. And paint in general. Paint, mixed with the faint smell of grapes and chocolate, makes me feel very nostalgic about when I used to go to my grandma's backyard studio. The flourescent lights would flicker--and one was motion activated, so it often turned off. Me or my brother would have to get up and jump around to turn it back on. There was always a stack of chocolate bars on the plastic shelf, with many drawers stuffed with supplies. The radio would be turned on when jazz music came on. And then there would just be the scratching of pencils and paint, the occasional creaking of a chair or whir of a heater mixed in with the jazz music. The smell of paint or sound of jazz always makes me remember that--which makes me happy.
That was....long and poetic XD

I love going to movie theaters (I haven't been in one for a year); the popcorn and the way everyone is silent and the previews before the movie and the kind of happy floating feeling you get after it's done.
