Happiness is...

...waking up to God's new mercies each day.

...holding your baby at 1am because he is coughing too much to sleep. Sitting up on the couch while he lays on your chest and sleeps so good that he starts to snore a little.

...watching your daughter blow you a kiss when you take her to school and cherishing the moment because it (like all of them) is fleeting.

...raking leaves on a beautiful Sunday with your husband and not really saying much but just working together on something.

...the smell of something yummy cooking in the kitchen.

...cleaning out closets and generally ridding your life of clutter.

...finding a new outfit that makes you feel skinny.

...celebrating with someone when they get married and watching them glow with excitement over the anticipation of "their day."

...being asked to be your best friend's baby's godmother.

...getting covered up with stuffed animals and having your children run and jump on you. (a bit painful at times, but their laughter makes it all worth it.)

...saying prayers with your kids.

...seeing the number of pushups go up on your phone app and actually being able to meet the challenge!

...sitting with your girlfriends late at night and laughing over something that you've probably already laughed at 1000 times before, but it still seems funny.

...snuggling under a blanket when it starts to get chilly outside.

...a great pair of pajama pants.

...hearing good news...ANY good news...if you see how happy the person is that it's happening to.


I didn't want you guys to think that I was entirely cynical. :)
