What makes you happy? I mean really happy. The kind of happy that makes your heart sing and your mood shift into 5th gear. The kind of happy that just the mere thought of it makes your day brighter.
For me trying to figure that question out is an ongoing challenge. There are things that make me pretty happy, but the extreme happy that I’m asking about, I’m not sure I know really. Sure when I see my children accomplish their goals but that’s more of a proud happy. When I think of the day I married my better half, but that’s a satisfying kind of happy. I love when I get a really great photo, an excited happy. Hanging out with the girls, a relaxing happy. Doing something for a friend and see them be happy about it, an uplifting happy. I’m going to have to think some more on this because I don’t yet have an answer. Do you?

I must be easily amused, but I am giddy happy when I get a few hours to myself, no interruptions, no one needing anything from me, nothing to be done that is an obligation.
Hey! Happiness?? The kind that makes you feel all gooey inside and warm and tingley? It can be any combination of things; for me it’s a feeling of well-being. Maybe you’d call it joy. It’s not so much something you can pin down to any ONE thing. It comes when I feel like life is (mostly) GOOD. Like, I AM STILL HERE. It comes when I am sitting in my sunny windowseat with a coffee and hearing nothing but silence. Contentment. Maybe that’s happiness for me?
