Meeting someone you just “click” with.
Swimming in the ocean.
A meal with my extended family.
Hot chocolate with marshmallows on a cold night, curled up in front of the fire in your bathrobe having just got out of a bubble bath.
Dancing to “Blondie” with my dog.
Driving down an open road, money in my pocket, and not having to work.
Socks from the dryer
Waking up next to my girlfriend
What yawndave said, but having Greenday’s “Welcome to Paradise” come on
Warm home-made pudding
… my sweetie playing with my hair while we cuddle …
… hanging out with the family and dad’s wine cellar
… a hug from the beau
… my cat curled up on my lap, good book in hand
… knowing that all is right in my world, just for the moment
1… anything romantic/physical with my boyfriend.
2… hugging/holding my daughter (my angel).
3… reading a ol’ favorite book in bed (assuming I have time).
4… when you’re driving and in NO rush, and your favorite song comes on. Variation: a few good songs come on in a row.
5… taking a bubble bath (assuming I have time).
6… having a glass of good red wine (assuming said angel is asleep)
7… sharing a good laugh with my boyfriend and/or friends
8… sitting down at my computer and discovering the poem you’re working on just completely “gels”. Variation: the writing just flows.
The smell of the evening air and the sound of crickets floating in your window as you drift off to sleep…
A new book and a warm blanket on a rainy day…
Thank you for all who contributed. I’ve been feeling really down in the dumps lately and all your “happiness is” ideas made me smile.
