H is for Happiness

Happiness is...

• The patter of rain on the roof
• Lying in the sun on warm grass
• Opening a new book
• The smell of tomatoes fresh off the vine
• Warm socks on cold feet
• The sound of the wind through the aspen trees
• Clean sheets
• Snuggling with kids on a winter night
• White lights on bare trees
• Clear water
• Writing the words "the end"
• The first bite of creme brûlée 
• The music of crickets on a summer evening
• Smooth stones
• A soft breeze through the window at night
• Rolling hills
• The reflection of streetlights on wet pavement 
• The smell of freshly cut grass
• Listening to my daughter sing in the shower
• A new pen
• The unexpected beauty of rusted metal
• A hot shower
• The pale blue of sea glass
• The tight squeeze of a good hug
• A blank notebook
• Cuddling up under a down blanket
• The sound of my kids laughing
