Happiness is _______

[AsifinPassing]

As defined by Noah Webster's original 1828 Dictionary:

HAP'PINESS, n. [from happy.] The agreeable sensations which spring from the enjoyment of good; that state of a being in which his desires are gratified, by the enjoyment of pleasure without pain; felicity; but happiness usually expresses less than felicity, and felicity less than bliss. Happiness is comparative. To a person distressed with pain, relief from that pain affords happiness; in other cases we give the name happiness to positive pleasure or an excitement of agreeable sensations. Happiness therefore admits of indefinite degrees of increase in enjoyment, or gratification of desires. Perfect happiness, or pleasure unalloyed with pain, is not attainable in this life.

a fluffy pillow

rocking a tiny baby on your shoulder

listening to the wind and rain

smelling all of the candles at the Yankee Candle store

knowing I can go back to sleep now

watching your child win at life/following Christ

Happiness to me is

Food

And more food

And more food

And more food!!!


Oh and sleeping in a duvet on a cold morning, good music (jazz/blues/boogie woogie/good ol' rock/etc.), travelling and meeting interesting people.

 

[Jullianna]

ooooooooooo...yes!

listening to smooth jazz in the middle of the night


flipping my pillow over to the cool side while I'm sleeping

 

[Roh_Chris]

There is something about jazz, I tell you!

You can cook, sleep, shower, eat, run, drive and do anything while listening to jazz!

 

[Jullianna]

One of my favorite things to do when I can't sleep is sit at the piano and play jazz. So relaxing....mind clearing..

Happiness is renting a bicycle when you are staying in a small mountain town and then heading for the hills where there are no people around to bother you, make noise, or encroach upon your personal (and psychological) space. Yeah today was a good day, but I'm tired from all that biking now.

It all depends on duvet you get into it. ( go ahead and groan but I couldn't resist)

 

[JesusLives]

Tourist by my side
and in my heart
soon to say I Do
not until death do we part.

 

[tourist]

Where ever you go as you carry it with you.

I will put it in my back pack.

Happiness is............................ when Cindy Lauper's song "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" comes on the radio, and there is no one else around, which allows you to dance your heart out!!!


P.S. Sometimes guys just want to have fun too!!!
