“I feel myself falling, I’m feeling happy now” ~ Take That
Or, as defined by my dictionary:
Happy (adj): feeling or expressing joy, causing joy or gladness, fortunate or lucky
I like doing these posts. They’re like a blog version of counting your blessings. So, to continue…
Happiness is:
A long hot bath
Knowing people who live up to their own standards
The anticipation of a first kiss
Making somebody smile
Making somebody laugh
Being accepted for who you really are
Something good happening to a friend
Someone making you a cup of tea in the morning
Random and unexpected nice things in the post
A lie in on a Saturday, just because you can
Hope these make you smile. Please keep sharing yours too…

Love these!
How about:
A great first line in a book
The first snowfall in winter
The smell in the air before it rains
Hearing a person’s smile while on the phone with them
The endorphin rush after playing 5-a-side. Surprises me every week.
Walking through wintry weather to reach a pub with a real fire, good ales and a hearty roast dinner.
Teenytiny gestures or words from friends that represent a huge amount of thoughtfulness.
Posters on lampposts telling you a much-loved cat or dog has been FOUND and not to worry.
Keeping alive the hope that George RR Martin will finish writing the whole damn series.
Eggs florentine.
Also, swords.
Happiness is …
An empty office with the phones switched off
Bolognese sauce that has been cooked with very small pieces of lime peel added
Knowing I have a vintage bottle of Cristal in the fridge and one day, very soon, I’ll be opening it for no real reason
A book with a great ending (so many authors fail dismally when it comes to the last few pages of a book … as if they did not really want to finish writing it)
A BACS statement from the Legal Services Commission with lots of entries
Days away with my wife at a nice country hotel with a great restaurant
