Have you ever heard the song "Happiness" from the musical You're a Good Man Charlie Brown? In it, the Peanuts gang sings about things that make them happy. It's funny how the things that made us happy as a child can still make us happy, but a lot of times, we feel we need to "grow up" and "put away childish things". I admit, I put my happiness aside almost all the time. I think happiness can be dangerous if pursued only. I'd rather have a life of meaning than a life of happiness. But now and then, I realize that I can have it both ways.
Happiness is...
...seeing my best friends.
...laughing at stories.
...watching cartoons.
Happiness is...
...hugging my mother.
...watching the clouds go.
...cuddly raccoons.
Happiness is...
...having a cup of green tea with rice.
And happiness is...
...a fresh new sheet of ice.
What makes you happy? I think each day I'm gonna write things that make me happy... What would make me beyond happy right now is some snowfall... That would pick my spirits up right away.
--Till then...

this is a great post! i completely agree with the green tea and rice bit.
i must clarify though...do raccoons have the ability to cuddle? :P
there's a tumblr called loveyourchaos, and she does a "happiness meme" - she asks people every day what made them happy. it helps me think about what made me happy each day. :)
today: pork soup dumplings with my mom and aunt, getting people crossed off my shopping list, and you.
