What is happiness to you???

What does happiness mean to you??? It’s waking to a message from someone dear to you. Someone who you thought lost in the darkness but now determined to make their way into the light. Reading their message moves you, brings you to a hint on tears, if not the whole water works. And though it may have been the coughing fit that woke you up, you can’t help but stay awake with the joy you feel for that someone who’s dear to you  who has found their way back.

What does happiness mean to you? It is seeing your friend run their first half marathon, and you cheer them on. And when you haven’t seen them pass by you worry if you missed them. But then you see them making their way to the station you can’t hide the excitement to see them. And at the finish line you are filled with joy just seeing their determination with which they covered the distance, and it’s this determination that leaves you in awe, leaves you inspired, cause you know this friend is a jolly soul, and you want to be there for him as he has cheered many before. So you find yourself moved and filled with happiness just seeing him finish.

What is happiness to you? It is seeing a friend you haven’t seen in a while, and you don’t know the reason why. But now you see her, you’re so happy to see her back. You can’t help smile, and give her big hug, and welcome her back.

What is happiness to you? It is meeting a couple that you adore, who inspire you, and you get a warm hug from them and moment to chat with them. It is meeting a friend who has inspired you, guided you, and mentored you. It’s in the warm hug you receive, a friendly conversation you share, along with a selfie. It is being part of a running family that you help to nurture and grow, amongst the people you love and adore.

What does happiness mean to you? It is happiness you hear in your friend’s voice when they call you . It’s in the crackle in their voice, you can visualise that happiness, and in that you find an happiness, a warm sweet feeling spreading through your heart. It’s in their happiness you find a soothing calm, a happiness that becomes your own.

What does happiness to you? It’s the moment the music reaches your dancing feet and you loose control and let the rhythm take over your soul. To dance to the beating of your heart, getting lost in the music, filling you with a joy only you know, to be dancing with gusto and heart. It’s in the fact you are in the front row and are able to pick steps and keep to the beat, filling you with a joy and happiness, making you forget the cares for the world.

These are few of my favourite things, the things that makes me happy, that brings a calm, and in the end in deed making it a beautiful day!
