Happiness. How do you define it? Is it an overall feeling? A day to day feeling? Is it about the big things or the little things? I believe the answer is all of the above, but I'm going to stick with the little things for this post.
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." ~ Robert Brault
So H is for Happiness, and
- Happiness is the sound of pure joy in a child's laugh.
- Happiness is kissing the soft bottom of a baby's foot.
- Happiness is puppy breath.
- Happiness is a having a purring cat knead on you.
- Happiness is being with the people you love and the people who love you.
- Happiness is feeling the warm sun on your face.
- Happiness is the sound of ocean waves.
- Happiness is a cool drink of water on a hot day.
- Happiness is a hot drink on a cold day.
- Happiness is being curled up indoors with a good book while a thunderstorm rages outside.
There are so many things to complain about in today's world that complaining is much easier to do than finding things to be happy about. If you look for the good things you will find them. Big or little things; it doesn't matter. If you've been stressed out by negativity lately, why not take today to make your own Happiness is list?

Mmmm... the last one, you forgot to add the roaring fire and a glass of red! ;-)
Yes... the simple things... like seeing the smiles of that grandson and his mom... knowing full well that you've been blessed to have them around... ;-)

Well, I live in Florida so the fire will add to the heat. And I prefer white. How about poolside and a glass of white? ;)
I have a friend on Facebook that posts a daily happiness list. When things start looking too doom and gloom in my world I usually start a weekly thankful list. Sometimes it seems so easy to overlook the good stuff.
I'm gonna go with warm sun. And cold beer. Speaking of happiness, I just learned of author Neil Pasricha, author of 1000 Awesome Things and The Happiness Equation. He has a great backstory. Such a healthy and positive mental outlook. http://1000awesomethings.com/
What a positive, uplifting post. Thank you!
