Happiness is…. knowing that today, you did something that helped
make someone else’s day happier…. knowing that today, you made the best
choices you could — for yourself, others, and the world…. getting a
smile from a baby or small child…. feeling
the small paws of a pet walk across your blanketed legs to find a cozy
spot at the foot of the bed…. eating homemade vanilla ice cream with
homemade chocolate fudge…. getting a really big bear hug…. waking up to
the sound of soft rain… hearing from your grown children just because
they felt like talking…. staring, mesmerized, at a bonfire, rainbow, or
the waves as they wash in and out from the sea… becoming a grandparent
(I hear)…. being able to give back to your aging parents even a fraction
of what they’ve given you in your lifetime…. doing work that’s your
passion…. getting a second chance, or even a third or a fourth… knowing
you’ve touched someone’s life in such a stupendous way that if you never
did anything “great” again, you still would have done enough.
