one-line happiness
in one sentence, tell me what happiness is to you

i'll start:

happiness is hearing his voice before i go to sleep

happiness is my mommy's cooking

happiness is taco bell with my best friend after bar close

come on loungers, share your happiness :loveya:

2. My dear kagehime.......
One line happiness?

Happiness is hearing my husband say that he loves me...

Happiness is knowing my friend is feeling well...

Happiness is talking to my friends here, or on the phone, or in person...

9. Sorry it seems melancholy
I didn't intend for it to be.

So many people are dissatisfied with their lives...and blame others for all of their problems. To me...when I'm not feeling that way, I'm usually on the right path to happiness. But, each person's life is unique.

:hug:

13. I like this one! :)
Happiness is feeling my son's kicks in the ribs.

Happiness is walking out into the sun on a beautiful afternoon.

Happiness is being surrounded by those that love me not because they have to, but because they want to be around me.

Happiness is finally being content with being single.

That's all. Insert cheesiness. :)

18. It's an amazing thing.
And hopefully (if you want to one of these days), you'll be able to experience it. By far the most amazing/touching experience of my life.

14. Wanting what you have, not having what you want...
is what i think true happiness is

gratitude for what one has

everything else is just along that theme for me

20. Hapiness is being away from DU for a few days
and to come back to a whole bunch of new threads to read!

Happiness is when my cat Daniel pets my nose.

Happiness is being able to help out my Grandparents.

Happiness is waking up to find that I got 9 hours of sleep.

22. How lucky you are...
...to sleep for 9 hours.

I wish.

Truly, I can't remember when I've slept more than 7 straight hours...it was before April, I know that much.

24. aww...sweetie...i wish i could be up late enough to do as you do for me...
and caress you into sleep with my voice :)

so what is my happiness?

happiness is hearing the happiness in your voice, the love, the kindness...

happiness is feeling that my work and my devotion and passion has meaning

happiness is writing, creating, thinking, and being.

and most of all...
happiness is loving you.
