What are some (free) things [to do] that make you happy?

I’ve been very quiet on the Fluther front the past week, mostly because of my severe depression to the point where I’ll open up the browser, stare at the questions and maybe read a few responses, and then crawl back to bed…you know that something has got to be wrong when the place I normally turn to for comfort cannot even distract me.

Anyway, a couple days ago my sister suggested that I write down a list of the things that make me happy. Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of is my almost 5-year old son. Everything else that I typically do for pleasure involves spending money or spending time with my boyfriend from whom I’m taking a bit of a break at the moment.

So…any suggestions would help…I can’t bring myself to listen to music because I’m so down, nor do I particularly want to go for a walk outside (the weather is suspect). I know this is probably frustrating to a lot of people but what I’m really looking for are just some examples of things I can put down on my list. They don’t even necessarily need to be things to DO…just things that make you happy that might be able to stimulate something in my mind to write down on my own list as an exercise.

Thank you.
