Anyone Else? discussion

Here we can all share the small things that make us happy, anything from reaching the high point on a swing to finally figuring out that puzzle you’d been working on! Share any small thing that makes you happy! 😊

That's so cute!

I like it when you find the place where the jigsaw puzzle piece goes. You get the feeling of GENIUSNESS!

When you hit a chord on your guitar that's so bittersweet and amazing!!

Swinging is like one of my favorite things ever, and we have one in my front yard, hanging from a tree. It started raining once when I was out there, and so I was just like, swinging in the rain! It felt amazing. *sings* I'm swingin' in the rain...

Aw that’s so cool Leyla!!! That definitely sounds exciting.
I was walking around Barnes and Noble today, and even when I don’t buy anything, I just love it! Lol I think that’s something everyone could say

The smell of books is a calming joy to me XD

That's so cool!!

Walking into a bookstore is another.

Oh, my gosh, yes!

Is it weird that I like the smell of gasoline? And chlorine? Those are two of my little joys 😂

XD

Kinda weird but hey I used to love the smell of gasoline when I was little

😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one. I have one other friend who also likes both of those smells but we’re so similar with health and stuff it’s almost scary 😆

Gasoline is a nice smell, like powerful cars!

What's also great is nailing the singing note with another person to create a beautiful, spine-tingling harmony.

. . . I haven't actually made my own spine tingle yet, but I'll get there.

Agreed Smaug! I harmonize super well with my older brother so when we sing together it makes me so happy

I like singing but I'm not sure how well I sing XD But it makes me happy

Oh, my gosh, same! I can't figure out why I love it, but I do!

I just love harmonizing. I harmonize on almost every song. I think I could be a soprano, but I love to harmonize so much that I have to be an alto. Lol It's just so great.

I looove harmonizing. But a little joy for me is when my dog falls asleep in my arms. Especially in the sun, it's so nice.

I love, when like classical music starts playing, and everyone goes quite really fast. But I don't like classical music. Also I love getting the perfect photo.

Piano. Oh, it's just my happy place! Especially when I'm doing well on a really pretty song. It's just so great.

Yep! Piano soothes the soul, with its beautiful, soulful melodies! Ahhhh . . . .

The slow songs seem the most satisfactory for some reason. Maybe it's because they're easier to get right, and getting it right is satisfactory?

Yes! I love playing all instruments cuz just in general it’s so beautiful and soothing. Piano is probably my favorite although I’ve become obsessed with my ukelele these past few days 😂

Yes! The violin is gorgeous! My sister played it for a couple years but I never did :/

Guitar. All. The. Way.
When the vibrations go up your arm when you strum a chord? Instant RELIEF. There's so many ways to play on the guitar, it can be soothing, or really catchy, or ANYthing. Music is my everything :'D

Yup! My friends keep telling me I should write a song and I do freestyle some so I’m actually considering it.

I love lyrics.. I'm learning guitar my own way, so it sounds kinda different, but I learned a way where it's almost like a beat, harmony and melody and background all in the same one :D
Also, it's fun to do improv lyrics/chords at the same time xD

Leyla... I know... yeah... 😂
Lana- that’s always a good way to learn! I’m self taught on ukelele but everything else I take lessons for. And I still take lessons for ukelele lol just online.

The slow slurring songs on piano are the best because they sound more complex and musical. I just love 'em. And my piano teacher knows it. He'll be like, "Oh, you'll like this one." Lol I guess my fingers say it all. Haha

Same!! My teacher is always telling me to play boldly but I like playing softly soo... 😂
Normally we choose songs that have both bold and soft playing as a compromise 😁😆

Oh, my gosh, completely me. My teacher literally said he's going to get some weights to hang on my wrists so that I'll play with more force. Lately, I've gotten better at it, but still. Soft is my forte. Lol (pun intended)

😂lol yeahhhh the struggle is real!

Right?

aww! That’s so sweet, Leyla :)
I love snuggling animals. It makes me happy when my favorite cat, Pucky, comes for pets. Ironically it’s often when I’m doing school!

Aw, that is super sweet!!

Aww thats sweet 💜

Not weird at all, that’s just adorable. I love babies ❤️

I’m enjoying spring! I love God’s beautiful creation :)

There’s wisteria growing all over our neighbor’s tree, and it looks like a purple Dr. Seuss tree. I’m enjoying the wonderful scent floating over to our yard. (One of the few things I can smell) :)

Spring has been amazing! For us here in Missouri, at least!

And Shine, babies are the best! I love them so much!

The feeling of a clean room is really nice. Or getting a letter in the mail from a friend you haven't seen in years.

^^

Oh yes! Clean rooms :) I love the satisfaction of organizing my room and knowing everything is right in place.

For sure!
