30 SOUNDS THAT BRING HAPPINESS



Here's some fun for the day……


TRIVIA:
Who sculpted Mt. Rushmore?

OPTICAL ILLUSION:


Look at the center of the image below for 30 seconds.  Then quickly shift your gaze somewhere with a white background.  You should see an afterimage of the US flag with the correct colors.  This happens because your eye reverses the colors in the after image



JOKE:
Q:  What has a bottom at it's top?
A:  A leg.


QUESTION TO PONDER
If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?


COMIC FUN:





TRICIA'S TWEET OF THE DAY:
There is no substitute for prayer, especially in circumstances that seem impossible.





SOUNDS THAT BRING HAPPINESS

I recently wrote a post on how various smells can bring back memories.  I thought I'd take a look at sounds today.   Of all the senses, smells evoke the most memories, but sounds can bring back memories as well and help evoke emotions.    Here's a few of my favorite sounds:  



1.  A running stream of water in the woods





2.  An outdoor fountain




3.  Birds on a spring day


4.   Ocean waves






5.  Tree frogs on a summer night


6.  Crickets on a summer night


7.  The Mary Tyler Moore Theme song





8.  The sound of various machines in a hospital


9.   A fan





10.  Humidifier 


11.  Window air conditioning unit


12.  Rain on the roof and thunderstorms






13.  Crackling fireplace





14.  Christmas music


15.  Car driving on a gravel road or driveway


16.  The 'pop' of a cork being pulled


17.   The sound of coffee brewing  (I'm not a Keurig chick)


18.   The opening credits music to "It's A Wonderful Life"






19.   Chalk on a chalk board


20.  A train whistle  (especially the sound of the train at Disney's Magic Kingdom)







21.  The hum of a lawnmower on a summer day


22.  A fizzy drink poured over ice





23.  The voices of my family


I asked my hubby what sounds he liked.   There were a few that we had in common.  He's an outdoorsmen, so these were the ones that came to him first:

24.  Hound dogs on trail

25.  Bull Elk Bugle

26.  Flushing quail  ( not down the toilet…..flushing them out of the woods)

27.  Quaking Aspen trees

28.  Cattle lowing  ( mooing)

29.  Turkey gobble

30.  The sound of a forest at dawn and dusk.




Enjoy some sounds today!
