Happiness

Happiness is finding a pencil. Pizza with sausage. Telling the time. Happiness is learning to whistle. Tying your shoe for the very first time. Happiness is playing the drums in your own school band and happiness is walking hand in hand. 
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream. Knowing a secret. Climbing a tree. Happiness is five different crayons. catching a firefly. Setting it free. Happiness is being alone every now and then and happiness is coming home again. Happiness is morning and evening, day time and night time too. For happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you. Happiness is having a sister. Sharing a sandwich. Getting along. 
Happiness is singing together when day is through, and happiness is those who sing with you. Happiness is morning and evening, daytime and nighttime too. For happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you.

I love this song. The little blessings that make me smile, the big things I often take for granted. What is happiness to you? A child growing inside you, a new home? These things are not happening to me right now, they are friend's joys - just so you didn't see this as an announcement! :)
Happiness is three little smiles, a loving husband and our families. Happiness is learning the gospel, feeling the love of my Heavenly Father. Happiness  is ..... what do you  think?

I really like that song too! It is the little things that make me the most happy. My family, my testimony, the wonderful friends I have. I think that the little things in life is what makes living worth it most of the time!

That song is way cute! I could name 100 things right here that happiness is, but I won't take that much space, haha. To me, mostly it is family! it is amazing how much joy they bring!

Happiness varies with my moods. Right now, it would be a big bowl of blue bell and a really good book, with no interuptions. But tomorrow it will be pushing the kids on the swings, or hearing the car coming in the driveway with the love of my life inside. Lucky for us there is Happiness everywhere. I just have to be reminded to look for it
