Happiness Is....

a mind set

 

a soft plain vanilla donut from the bakery with glazed white icing on top

 

When my dog Lace greets me at the door with her little woof that turns into a big whine and yip when she sees that it is me.

 

Beer with cheesecake! Therapy for a rocky day!

 

living far enough from anyone else to not have to listen to their idea of entertainment. (seriously wish i did)

having your own bathroom and kitchen.

not having to pay for a car, because there's public transportation within easy walking distance.

 

homemade pumpkin pie from pumpkins grown 40 feet from your kitchen.

 

likewise, mint, rosemary, lemons, cherries, peaches, tomatoes, and rose hips. but not where i live now. where i lived for 7 or 8 years i think it was, when my wife was still alive.

oh and blackberries and grapes and jam from them.

radishes, turnups and carrots another place where i lived, different climate. had apples and apricots there too. also blackberries gathered wild. both places had blackberries and cherries.

other place is where i was growing up, back in the 60s.

and the place where i started kindergarten we had rubarb in the yard.

also not having to walk more then a couple of miles from your house to be completely out in forested mountainous wilderness, where there weren't any other houses closer then either.

 

Happiness is knowing that even though there are bumps in the road (sometimes one right after the other), that eventually I will reach my destination. Until then, I will enjoy the ride; bumps and all!

 

Having your hair played with from a loved one.

Hearing the voices of the people you look to on stage.

 

back massages!
Yes, love my head and hair played with too...by a man, though....

 

Friday...

 

mod tools that work ...

 

being able to think of things that happiness is

 

the perfect mix of chemicals

 

not a fish that you can catch.

 

Caller ID

 

happiness is seeing the little lights come on inside people's heads when they realize things are possible that they've always been told aren't.

 

Happiness can be ever changing subject to the mood of the day - however, there are constants such as MFSB or favourite sounds, feelings and/or Love of a partner .../...s

 

after years of searching, today, holding your relatives ww1 war medals in your hand...

 

happiness is where people find it. and some people find it in very strange places indeed. but then those are the ones who actually do.
most people look for it where they never will, because someone else told them that was the way to do so.
