Happiness is ...: 2013

Saturday, January 26, 2013

a big hug from one of your preschoolers.
eating sugar free jello that is 5 calories a serving and having it satisfy your sweet tooth.
visiting with a friend.
your 11 year old asking you to read more scriptures when you stop for the night.

being able to run/jog in place for 3 different 5 minute sessions with a bunch of 8 year old scouts:)

Why this blog?

In the musical You're a Good Man Charlie Brown the characters sing a song about happiness. They sing:

"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 a 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 day is through and happiness is those who sing with you.

Happiness is morning and evening, daytime and night time too.

For happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you!"

I LOVE this song:) As I go through my life, I often have a moment that makes me happy and I think of this song.

This blog is dedicated to my list of what happiness is. *Ü*
