Day 4 Happiness is......

When I was in high school we sang this song in our concert choir at Disneyland called "Happiness is" the line starts out "Happiness is (then fill in a cute sentence like 3 kinds of ice cream, reading a book, and other fun things lol)  I am learning that happiness is a variety of things and just the term "Happiness" has a huge variety of levels!
Take Day 3 for example, my son's birthday.  I was so overwhelmed with happiness that my son had made it to the seccond year of his life and that we had such amazing family and neighbors who came to share in his little celebration.  But then I was happy last night just putting him to bed and watching him sleep peacefully in his crib.  It was a quiet, peaceful kind of happiness that comes from seeing those little eyelashes flutter with dreams.

Day 4 brought me two new happiness moments that carry different definitions.
First we start by our trip to Target today.  Now, for men I don't know, but for us women there is just something very special about shopping at that place!  It is like a mall, grocery store, pet store, pharmacy, all rolled into this really neat package. It also has a wonderful symbol that any woman can recognize and our heart does a little retail therapy skip of joy over! Retail therapy happiness...and happy to have my son's back to school list mostly done...relief!
Tonight I was able to go out with David and enjoy an adult meal.  My definition of an "adult meal" is one that takes place with me not having to look away from my adult dinner companion every few minutes and say "just a second" AND my meal comes to the table and I am able to cut IT up and eat it without blowing on it or reheating!  A different kind of happy from shopping today, but not sure what kind of definition to place on it; how about "parental happiness"
Well I am off to get comfy for the night and watch a little Burn Notice....eye candy happiness perhaps?  Be happy friends and enjoy every level of happiness life has to over you tonight!
