What is everyone's definition of true happiness? I was asked this question not too long ago, and was curious as to how people would answer...

--Marie

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

You see the feeling of contentment when you've made others smile...I think that's happiness

Happiness is a state of mind which I am not all that good at attaining. The way you look on things. Don't confuse happiness with joy. But simply put it is a state of mind, how you look at things. Half full or half empty don't cut it. The is still water in the glass, drink and be happy.

Like DancinQueen, I love to play piano. It's relaxing, and thus I'm happy.

But I don't have my piano anymore.
I miss playing. My mom saw an ad in the paper for a dining table and a piano, FREE, all Cherry Wood, but by the time we called, it was gone, all gone...

Happiness for me lately is slowly getting to know someone who is wonderful in a lot of ways. Someone who is listening to me, tolerating me, and making me ask myself the questions I normally wouldn't have the courage to ask. Happiness is also being able to thank such a wonderful friend and know that when no one else knows, they realize who they are. It is that simple for me at this moment. On most day, I don't know what happiness in general is anymore.

WATERBALLOON FIGHT!!!!!!!

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Blowing bubbles with anyone under three feet.

A full refrigerator.

Notes on the bathroom mirror that end with ‘I love you’.

A cordless mouse (yeah!)

Kisses of all kinds.

Hugs hello and goodbye and just for the sake of hugging.

Juggling plastic Easter eggs.

Feeling adopted into a family.

Arms sneaking around your shoulders to squeeze, and lips pressed to your crown.

Waking up beside someone you love.

…Kissing them goodbye in the morning, then thinking about that kiss the whole ride to work – causing a huge, idiot grin that sticks most of the morning.

…The looks on people’s faces when you flash that idiot grin to the air, then catch their eye and laugh.

The warmth of a loving union; its comfort, thrill, and quietness.

…The realization that you are IN one, and for a very, very long time.
