Happiness is........

A hot cup of cuppachino on a cold winters day.

A ray of sunshine breaking through the dull grey skies.

My mother's face lit up as she holds her new born grandchild.

Meeting up with an old friend and picking up from exactly where we left off.

Listening to my son practice his guitar, strumming haunting melodies while I cook dinner.

Praying in deep solitude and knowing in my heart that someone is looking after me.

A phone call from an old flame telling you they still think about you after 14 years.

Reading a wonderful book and wanting to write like that.....someday!

Watching the light bulb going off in your student's brain as they finally grasp a difficult concept.

Being held by me father and feeling completely safe and secure enveloped by his broad shoulders.

Witnessing all the violence and hatred in this world and just feeling amazed to be alive.

Finding a favourite pair of pearl earrings under the bed after years of losing it.

Running to catch a train and managing to get on it.

Looking into the mysterious brown eyes of my daughter and acquanting myself with her dreams.

Living in hope, that tomorrow will be a better day!
