These lyrics by Clark Gesner make me smile☺
"Happiness is finding a pencil.
Pizza with sausage.
Telling the time.
Happiness is learning to whistle.
Tying your shoe for the very first time.
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band.
And happiness is walking hand in hand.
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream.
Knowing a secret.
Climbing a tree.
Happiness is five different crayons.
Catching a firefly.
Setting him free.
Happiness is being alone every now and then.
And happiness is coming home again.
Happiness is morning and evening,
Daytime and night time too.
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you.
Happiness is having a sister.
Sharing a sandwich.
Getting along.
Happiness is singing together when the day is through,
And happiness is those who sing with you.
Happiness is morning and evening,
Daytime and nighttime too.
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you."
Happiness is all of the above and much, much more!
Happiness does mean different things to different people.
Wikipedia defines happiness as: A mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
To me, their definition is spot on. It isn't just about the giggles and smiles, happiness is a state of mind. A choice we make.
Positivity and moments of joy add to the happiness of our days.
For many happiness is a lot more frightening than depression. It's sad to see so many sad people all around.
If you are one of those sad soul wandering around this is for you: In order to be happy, you must first have been unhappy. So chin up, grin and let happiness in.
How to be happy you ask?
Well this is cliché, but really, surround yourself with the people you love. Spend your time on things that bring you pleasure. Moan less, smile more. Enjoy the little moments that make life spectacular. Be happy.
