Happy Sounds

Baby laughs, voices of loved ones, ocean waves, wind chimes, bird songs and chatter, just about any kind of music, gentle rainfall, friendly dog barks, laughter, and group prayer.

What am I forgetting?

So many sounds affect how we feel, stir emotions, and bring back memories. How often do we hear a song, and we are right back at a high school dance, rocking our babies, or singing in the car with a friend.

What are your favorite sounds?

    You noted all the best sounds to promote happiness. Children’s laughter rises to the top. The picture of your adorable grandsons is a good example-it made me smile! 🙂

    Beautiful, Mary – photos and sounds. My favorite sounds – children playing/laughing, trees whispering, birds chirping, and my husband’s “good morning, my love”. ❤️
