Scientists can prove “happiness”
through brain scans, chemical secretions, even the subtle change in individual
cells. It has also been proven that
one’s facial expression can affect one’s disposition. The body anticipates “happiness” if one
practices smiling.
I don’t need all that to know
what makes me happy.
-
Bare toes on the beach, the feel of cold, wet sand
soothing away the tiredness
-
A sunrise, its promise of a new day
-
A vibrant sunset, the accomplishment of that
promise
-
Children’s laughter, especially giggles and
squeals
-
The first sip of coffee in the morning
-
A drink of cold water flowing down a parched
throat
-
A satisfying ending to a good story, be it a book,
a tale, or a movie
-
A small, unexpected kindness
-
A loving, understanding partner, family, a good
friend
-
A decadent dessert or a simple, crisp saltine
cracker
-
A moving piece of art; music that stirs the soul
-
The perfect bubble
-
A butterfly, a dragonfly, bird in song
-
Warm, soft socks
-
A roof over my head, safety from the world
-
Food on the table
-
Fireworks
-
a hug, an embrace, a slow dance with the right
person
-
knowing that you made a difference, fought the
fight, left a legacy
-
the belief in God and in life after death; we are
part of something larger than ourselves
Happiness – the reasons we live our
lives to the fullest, relishing the simplest of things that matter.
