A one year old baby belching on your dress shirt, leaving his mark on said shirt, and then grinning like crazy at you because he knows you love him.

Happiness is: being with a woman that loves you unconditionally, money in the bank, a house that is paid for and cars that are, too.

A library full of books I haven’t read yet, all on subjects I’m interested in. It would have fiction also, but mostly non fiction.

Happiness is when the world isn’t falling apart around you.
Happiness is that moment when you’re finally where you want to be.

Since Saturday, happiness has been having my nearly 3 year old granddaughter with me everyday. Just in the middle of a “conversation” she stops and smiles and says in a high pitched little sweet voice, “Granny.” She says it like she’s surprised to be with me instead of just hearing my voice on the phone. Oh, that is my happiness this week.

AshLeigh's avatar

Happiness is a great song.
Happiness is looking back on how I was one year ago, and realizing that no one lied when they said it would be okay.

Taking a nap during the day with your window open if it’s warm out, (or slightly cold in my case) and hanging around in that particular state where you never really fall asleep, but aren’t quite awake either.

Also, I do my killing before breakfast.

A big belch at the table you are sitting at after 3 plates of food from the Chinese buffet.

…seeing a bird couple clean out a birdhouse and make it ready for nesting.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@gailcalled Today it’s the Spatzies ;)

They went to our front maple tree and began getting to work on a birdhouse they’ll certainly not remain in. It’s too small. The chickadees will most likely take it over in a week.

The sparrows (spatzies) have a large purple martin home that they’ve over filled at this point. As soon as the ground thaws, I plan to install another one.

The Red Wing Blackbirds and the scout Robins are here in full force due to the unseasonably warm weather. It looks like it will be a double or triple fledge year here.
