Happy trigger prompt

Think of something that uplifts your spirit and write about it.

When you're walking at night and spy fireflies, does your bad mood seem to disappear momentarily? When you hear a train whistle does it make you wax nostalgic and feel suddenly happy, maybe even youthful? Does the feel of old rocky walls make you feel excited? Does freshly cut grass or the cold first snow awaken you? It could be all or any of your senses that has what I call a "happy trigger."

Write about it in detail. You may want to recall a specific moment and describe it in detail:
How did it uplift your spirits?
How did you feel afterwards?
How long did this feeling stay with you?
Do you go out to seek these encounters or wait for them to happen?
Have you ever told about these happy triggers to anyone else?
