Leszcynski: Week 5

                                                                             
Happiness

We all have things that make us smile. We have things that make us laugh or just can make our day. Whether that be a sport, a person, a place, an object, or whatever it may be, we all have something. With all of the negative times, I thought that I should reflect on some of the things that make me the happiest. 


The first thing that makes me happy is the beach. There are so many things about the beach that make me smile. But the best part about it is the relaxation that comes with it. The sound of the waves crashing onto the sand, the feeling of sand beneath your toes, hearing the seagulls above you, the taste of the fresh sandwiches packed from home, or even the painful sunburn after a long day. It all is a part of the most peaceful place on earth. 


Another thing that makes me happy is ice cream. Ice cream is such a little thing, but it can make your day. Especially Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream which happens to be my favorite. During a hot day, the first spoonful of ice cream is absolutely delicious. It also may help that I work at an Ice Cream Parlor, which makes it very easy for me to get my ice cream.


Laughing. This sounds kind of funny, but laughing is one of my favorite things in the world. Especially the type of laughing when you can’t catch your breath and are struggling to breathe. Those are the moments that you know you are having some of the best moments of your life. Those are the times when I am the happiest. 

Finally, the thing that makes me the happiest is summer. Summer is the happiest for me because I am stress-free, I do not have to worry about getting my assignments done or studying for a test. Another reason it makes me happy is because I get to play the sport I love which is basketball all the time. We are playing in tournament after tournament in numerous different cities. I also get to spend time with my family outside in the sun by my pool. Summer makes me the happiest because of everything that comes with it. Even the littlest things. 


Although we all have different things that make us happy. Being happy is a choice. We all have a choice in the morning to smile or to frown and I hope that people will begin to smile more. Our world needs everyone to be a lot happier and enjoy what we all have.

  1. This made me miss the summer so much! I also find happiness in most of the things you mentioned. I love going to the beach and relaxing in the sand while listening to the waves. Usually most people would say laughing comes from happiness but I like how you switched it around to say that laughter makes you happy. I also miss the summer and having all the time to relax, eat ice cream, and have fun with friends.
