Lots of things. Waking up in a comfy bed next to my partner who, I have no idea why, really wants to marry me and is leaving little postits of venue ideas on the bathroom mirror, like today.  Even stopping and thinking this is our home. We own this.
My family and friends and a grumpy old dear. They make me happy constantly, from the messages, the cuddles, the calls, the voice notes.
Seeing my weight loss and the photo of old me to me now. I like my curves, the softness. The lack of a boob shelf of a tummy.
Nature, especially in the garden in the morning when I'm having a cup of tea in my slightly worn comfort cardigan. 
The potential, the future. That definitely gives me a smile.
I have lots to be happy about, including my ability to waffle in a not very eloquent fashion before 9am.  |

I wouldn't say I wake up happy, nothing on the "happy scale" motivates me to get out of bed. Happiness is a temporary emotion based on events and other influences.
What I would say, is that I'm content. Yes, there are days where I'm exhausted, drained and frustrated but at the same time I pretty much know what I'm facing each day, what to expect and not getting blindsided by shit that I struggle to handle.

Being alive
Knowing I have another day to make the most of.
Small steps day by day but knowing each day I can do a little more and soon there will be no holding me back |

"What makes you happy?
What gives you a reason in the morning?
 "
I've been struggling with this very thing for a long time but in all honesty my daughter I only see her in the mornings to take her to school so it gives me a reason to get out of bed |

Right now? The painkillers the doctor has prescribed me. Means i can actually see a whole day through without becoming a snivelling wreck in a foetal position, awaiting the Grim Reaper! |

I’m having a really good time in my life, everything is falling into place nicely and I feel content.
The love and support from C, my son, my work, my diet having noticeable differences…plus the plans we have in place, FAB related and in our normal life…it all adds up to making me a very happy chap

Her ladyship. She never fails to make me laugh at her insults, sarcasm and little quips. For some reason she adores me to which is a lovely feeling and makes me smile.

My children give me a reason. I found it very hard to get up at all years back after losing my husband.
My children are my world and my reason for living.
Hard work as they are sometimes, I’d be lost without them |

Oh, so many things...the world gives us lots of things to bring us joy, if we just take the time to look for them.
There are big things like having a roof over my head and food on my plate, or the fact that I have people in my life to love, and they love me back  . Or more simple things like my pooch coming to say hello while I'm working (usually because he wants a treat, but he still does a cute little hufflepuff thing), or watching the birds flitting about in the bushes outside my window. |

"First thing? The (fake) reindeer heads on my bedroom wall. They make me smile.
I've read the rest of the thread and now I feel really shallow  "
You're not shallow in the slightest! Anything can make people smile, reindeer are adorable. |

"Must be an aging thing but the power of mother nature can make me feel all tingly"
I like that. Even better when one immerses in it. Swim in the lake. Climb. Roll down the hill laughing.. |

My little dog, my grumpy teenrager, my beloved friends and my massive family of oddballs. My job, my studies, my social calendar, all reasons to bloody love life.
I’m a pesky morning person so springing out of bed is easy even when it’s cold and dark. |
