Happiness is...

Sometimes, we take for granted small things which make us smile and feel contented. We never realize how significant they are to our lives until they disappear. Like the famous Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and his gang sang:

♫Happiness is finding a pencil, ♪♪knowing a secret, ♪ telling the time….♫
♪Happiness is learning to whistle, tying your shoe for the very first time…♫

Aahh…to look at things through children’s eyes. Whenever I feel treading that dreaded sad zone (which, thankfully, I don’t go to very often), I think about my own list of cheer-me-up tidbits and sing it to the tune of the Charlie Brown song. And then the grey day becomes sunny again.

♫Happiness is…shopping with Issa, hugging my boys, some musical sounds

   Happiness is…aerobic dancing, seeing my three kids goofing around

   Happiness is sharing a joke with a good ol’ friend

   And happiness is the hubby taking my hand.

   Happiness is…a bottle of shampoo, family dinner, a fab pair of shoes

   Happiness is…op’ning a present, tying my hair then letting it loose

   Happiness is waking up late every now and then

   And happiness is sleeping back again.

   Happiness is…Skype with my sister, writing a blog, and reading it too

   Happiness is…colourful makeup, lying in bed when the blankets are new

   Happiness is getting a phone call when day is through

   And happiness is being home with you.♫

Now, I feel much better;-)
