Little Things That Make You Happy
Life is full of little wonders that can make us happy. The sound of a baby's laughter, a good book, the comforting smell of a favorite old sweatshirt, and the warmth from a cup of hot tea are simple pleasures that can easily put smiles on our faces. These "little things" are easily accessible to us and can be sources for finding happiness. A key to doing so is taking the time to put those rose colored glasses from childhood back on so you can easily find the joy in all the "little things" that life has to offer.
Finding a puppy rummaging through the laundry basket, trying on that perfect shade of lipstick, or discovering the extra change you left in your back pocket can turn into moments of delight. Like digging in the sandbox for buried trinkets, we may even begin to experience happiness when we engage in the seemingly mundane. Figuring out a software program can feel like deciphering a treasure map, and that first sip of tea in the morning can taste like a forbidden delicacy. Swaying to music playing on the radio can turn into an interpretive jig, riding a bike can seem like flying to the moon, and getting a phone call from that special someone can feel like winning the lottery. A pickup game of basketball becomes an exciting match among champions, and observing an elderly couple walking hand in hand can turn into a meditation on peace and contentment.
When we begin rediscovering that the little things in life can make us happy, we naturally want to share this joy with others. We may gush over a friend when we run into them unexpectedly, praise a street musician for their talents, or blow bubbles for the neighborhood to chase. We may even start to think of the little things we can do to make other people happy, which in turn makes us happy all over again. There is an endless supply of little things and little moments that can make us happy. All we have to do is look for them, and they'll magically start to appear.

Grab him by the waist, pulling him towards you, then softly touching his lips with yours.
Have a romantic weekend.
For a week, smothering your spouse with all the small intimate things they like.
Share a bottle of wine and a rose....
Do a simple act of kindness, such as a backrub when he feels sick, to brighten his day.
Make a big sign (like the ones you use for demonstrations) quoting "Did my heart love 'til now? Forswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty 'til this night."
Make a web page for your girlfriend to tell her how much you love her.
Write long, erotic letters where you describe how much you love them.
Just Say It...
Whisper I love you in his ear while dancing a romantic slow melody.
Sitting outside under that stars and say, "I have never felt so special before... I owe this to you. I love you."
Creep on your lover and whisper I love you in their ear.
In the middle of your partner's conversation with someone else, lean over and whisper I love you in their ear.
Scream I love you (name here) on a rollercoaster ride.
When you know it will be your partner on the phone say I love you right when you answer it.
Look into her eyes, hold her hands and then silently whisper I love you.
When you are doing an everyday thing, just look at him, and lean over, give him a little peck and say I love you.
The best idea was summed up : The best way of saying I love you is showing it every moment, with every action, look, movement, kiss or words.

Colors are not only beautiful to the eye but bring considerable influence on a person's actions. They can bring us up or take us down with the same ease. Laughter and sorrow are both expressed with colors.
Sight is one of the most used and taken for granted of the senses. It is enhanced by color. Without color, sight would be less enjoyable, almost boring in fact.
People's preference in colors give us information about their personality. Changes occurring in your life will find you preferring different colors just as wearing the same color each day would become boring. As you grow older, you find you like different colors.
Color Personality Yellow
People with yellow personalities are a business minded lot. These people want others to know they are well educated, whether self taught or otherwise, and strive to attain success through anything mental.
Making good leaders, they generally make up their mind in a methodical way. Every detail needs to be analyzed before they make a move. Any strategic game peaks their interest. Chess is the game for them.
This personality can be a little stubborn. When the color goes more toward a mustard shade, these personalities know that they are the only people making the right decisions. This tends to make others a little suspicious of their motives.
The true yellow personality makes wise decisions based on consideration of all points of view.
Yellow women personalities would rather be in business, than to be mothers, but can take both jobs and be quite adept at doing so.
When these people are under stress, they feel that they need to keep their emotions covered. If they show the stress, it is a sign of weakness. They try not to let you see them sweat.
Keeping to themselves without inviting many others into their lives, they generally only have one or two good friends. These friends are usually people who are business minded too, although the true yellow personality depends on no one but themselves.
Adoring tailored clothing, they usually dress quite professionally. Although the women may add larger accessories, they dress with a simple flair.
COLOR PERSONALITY PURPLE
Purple is the color of spirituality.
Purple personalities are always striving to be better than they consider themselves to be, both on a spiritual, emotional and a mental plane.
Needing more knowledge, they become avid readers. Trying to become what they think they should be, they search their own lives and the lives of others to find the answers.
The study of all religions make them feel as if they are accomplishing something bigger than themselves in life. A good theological discussion is right up their alley. Wanting to help as many souls as they can, they are more than willing to give you the benefit of their education.
Trying to achieve perfection, they seem to struggle with themselves more than most because they tend to be so critical of themselves.
The muted shades of purple can be religious zealots who know what God wants for themselves as well as everyone else. In their way of thinking, they are the ones put here to enforce religion for God. These people can be just a little frightening when they start searching for their holy grail.
The deeper shades of purple show someone working hard to find inner peace and love not only of their fellow man and themselves but of a higher power who many consider God.
Purple personalities make good friends because they always give first of themselves. Generally they do not ask much for themselves but some negative purples could be self martyred. This comes from the fact that when they do finally ask for something from a friend, they may do so in such a way as the person they are asking did not understand.
When they do not receive the item which they requested, they turn silent
Color Personality Orange
Orange is the color of nature.
Orange people are nature lovers. Being sports minded, they love to do anything having to do with the out of doors. Taking long walks in the woods revives them. When forced to stay indoors for long periods of time, they may become ill.
Trees and animals mean a lot to them. They want to be a part of nature and are, just by the very fact that they are alive.
Good professions for orange personalities include farmers, ranchers, football players, and guides.
Oranges never meet a stranger. Their outgoing attitudes make them good friends. People always say good things about these down to earth people. Although they may sometimes invoke anger from others, it usually doesn't last very long. Who can remain mad at someone so helpful?
They are good lovers and can be kinky where sex is concerned. Orange personalities do not consider themselves kinky, just willing to try what their partner may like.
Tending to take up for the underdog, they will put themselves out to help someone who they feel needs assistance.
Orange personalities are loud. They talk a lot and know enough to be dangerous about most subjects.
In most cases they are the nicest people you have ever met but don't dare try to push one. If you do you will be sorry. Feeling as if you have a tiger by the tail, you are not sure whether to drop the tail or continue running in circles trying to stay away from it's teeth.
Always aware of their surrounding, they tend to be more adventurous than most.
Even though they are impulsive and thoughtful, they generally are very much aware of what they are doing.
Learning and remembering through experience is a strong suit of theirs.
Orange personalities believe God meant for them to have any good thing in life they want. As luck has it, they get it.
Color Personality Black
Black is one of the most beautiful of colors and yet is the void of color too. It is the color of detail.
Black personalities want every thing done in detail. They are statistical and make good accountants. Internal Revenue Service agents probably like this color.
If a job needs finishing, these are the people to finish it.
These personalities need leaders, though, to tell them what needs to be done. Under guidance, they are able to get to the crux of the matter and solve very large problems.
When put in a place to find the mistakes of others, they are right at home. Loving puzzles, and finding others' mistakes brings out their tenacious spirits. Black personalities will sometimes intentionally find mistakes just so that they can repair them.
This color is one of holding things inside. When one wears black, they do not want to be touched. Putting a barrier between themselves and others is the purpose of this color.
Keeping their strength inside so that they can better protect their emotions is the effectiveness of this color. Although they want to be part of the world around them, they want no one to tug at their sensitivity.
Black is a relief color for most people, like "Mom's apple pie". It makes them feel comfortable and even, in some cases, makes them feel smaller, allowing them to hide from the sometimes cruel world.
Color Personality Red
A person who likes red runs the gamut of personality traits.
This is the color for passion, energy, and money making. It can also have a darker side to it.
If the person has a preference toward the more brick (reddish brown) red colors, they have problems with addictions such as drugs, alcohol, eating disorders or emotional instability. Red oranges are not only dynamos but love the outdoors and anything to do with people. Red with blue overtones can be energetic people with high emotions.
Red personalities when in their true red mode are sexy and seductive. We now have statistical proof that men will look at a women wearing red, even though she may not be the most beautiful woman there, more quickly than they will anyone else in a room.
It is the color for someone who wants to be powerful and in control. Business people who want to win wear the power color red to meetings in which they want to stand out. The red personality makes one feel more energetic or activated.
Stop signs are red. Red gets your attention. This energetic personality craves attention and what's more: They get it.
Being quick with their emotions, they may erupt into a temperamental volcano right in front of you then simmer down just as quickly.
Quick to give others answers to any question, they feel they know everything. If they don't and it is proven they don't, you will find them trying to learn why. They are not frightened of not knowing the answer but only of appearing stupid.
Because they are quick moving people, they want everything done in a hurry. When tired, they have to lay down right then because it feels as if all energy has escaped them. Once they have taken a quick nap they are up and ready for almost anything life has to show them. Red personalities feel invincible and others tend to think they are.
Even though red's have all these personality traits, they do not make good leaders. They do, however, make good followers, once they decide they are being lead wisely. They have no compunctions in doing whatever it takes to get the job done in the manner needed.
Red personalities, though, do have a tendency to go off on tangents. Their attention span is not all that it should be. When focused, they are very strong in their determination.
Reds are quick minded, brilliant people who may not be well educated but are quick with answers because they have lived the circumstances.
Color Personality White
White is the color of purity. The color of new snow or light from above. What we fail to see is that snow and light has impurities in it but looks as if it is the most pure of all sights.
This personality sees themselves as very special because of this color, sort of above it all. Watching others with interest, they blend in with their surroundings.
Shyness comes with this color but it is not a true shyness. Waiting patiently for others to notice them before they make their thoughts known, they tend to appear shy but in truth, they are very outspoken.
Virginal attitudes abound with these people. They feel pure no matter what they do. The virtue of purity is attributed to them by others as well, whether they deserve this characteristic or not.
With sober sight, they tend to look others over with a very critical eye. Even while this is happening the person they are appraising does not feel they are being criticized but analyzed instead. If they win the approval of the white personality, these analyzed people act as if they have just won the lottery.
White personalities feel they are right in their belief structures although they are not sure they want to discuss those beliefs with others. The fact that they know they are right is enough for them. It is not uncommon, however, to notice a slight smile cross a white personality's face, when another acknowledges their belief is correct.
Self-importance is a part of their personality but does not interfere with their higher motives unless they are a negative white personality.
Color Personality Blue
Blue is an emotional color. People with a blue personality stay within themselves and do not trust people very much. They watch every move others make.
Pale shades of blue show someone who wants everything in order. Their closet is immaculate. They know where any piece of clothing is and most likely how long it will take them to get it out of the closet.
As blue moves to the deeper end of color, it becomes more moody and shows it. With royal blue, one can be on a high or in the deepest of wells. This color would probably be worn by one who is deciding to parachute because it would mean one needed to make a quick decision. When looking back on that decision though, the person pulling the ripcord would not be so sure they made the correct decision.
The navy colors are very emotional but also want to hide it. It's almost as if they are wallowing in the fact that they are emotional. Some women, with a navy personality, go on cleaning binges, others go shopping.
If your house has too much blue in it, you may find yourself depressed most of the time. A baby put in a totally blue room cries all the time, but when taken into another room, it is a happy baby. Blue is a good color but it needs other shades to balance it.
Blue people think with their emotions. They are either way up or way down; feeling all the emotions they can experience on their way to either.
Crying when they are happy or sad, they are feelers. Having a need to feel every thing, they leave themselves open to others. Quickly they take the mood of any person they are around whether they are upset or elated. Feelers don't even know why their emotions run the gambit. They are products of their environment.
Blue people are no fun to be around when they expect you to be down with them. Showing signs of co-dependency, they need you to be by their side feeling with them as they do.
Color Personality Pink
Pink is the color of peace.
People who love the color pink usually are either in a blissful state or looking for one. They want to draw the little smiley faces on everything. The perpetual smile on pink personality faces can grow thin when you are not in the same blissful state they are.
Truly loving everyone, they try to see the best in others. If they don't find something good in a person, there has to be a very good explanation in the pink personalities mind as to why not.
Those who have this personality quietly study the best way to approach problems and then act on their thoughts. Because they tend to research ideas this way, they may be seen as slow but they are anything but slow.
Pinks are youthful looking and usually have translucent skin. They see the world through rose colored glasses. The truth of the matter is that it might be nice if we could all put those glasses on now and then.
They are shy, very intelligent, hard working people who wish they were more a part of the mainstream but are frightened of moving too quickly.
Pink personalities watch what they do or say because they are afraid that others may see them in a harsh light. They try to make everyone happy.
Others notice their wonderful senses of humor, though the pink personality may not laugh aloud. Some may even say they have a dry sense of humor.
Color Personality Green
Green is the color of healing.
Green personalities want to help every one. They are natures mothers. These people are usually in the medical profession or some occupation which helps people.
Preferring to watch rather than to become involved in others business, they usually keep their thoughts secret. Others see them as good listeners because of this quality. This characteristic makes them wonderful counselors. Others take for granted that the green personality can see more than one side to a situation without bias.
Green personalities make others feel at home in their house by putting them at ease immediately. They try to take care of others with all the care their mothers gave them.
Peacemaker is their sworn duty. They want harmony in every one's life. Green personalities may even stop an argument between others by starting one themselves.
Others think that green personalities make the best of friends because they are jovial, caring and can keep a secret.
In order for a green personality to feel good about themselves, they have to be helping someone or something. Nurturers by choice, they are the ones who take care of animals, humans and plants.
Green personalities need to be careful not to make martyrs of themselves. This is something they easily can do.
