Happiness

Ancient trees
The scent of gardenias
The smile of approval from my mother
The kiss from my child
The touch a loved one
A warm bath
Soft music
Green grass
A warm bed in the winter
A cool bed in the summer
A nap in the sunshine
My child’s giggle
A kiss on the cheek from an elderly woman
Sleeping in on Saturday
Sleeping in anytime
Chocolate chip ice cream
Gummy bears
The smell of rain in the distance
The solemn sound of a train at midnight
Little hopping birds
The staring eyes of an infant
The confidence of a child in my arms
The softness in voice of my grandmother in my dreams
The sound of the rain on the window
New socks
Outrageous daydreams
The breeze on my face
A pat from my father
The tears from laughter
Sleeping dogs
Napping cats
The feeling of new love
The feeling of old love
The glow of a candle
The comforting aroma of a family home
God
