- Happiness is the waking of the dawn
when the birds sing their song
to catch their bugs and worms,
when the air is fresh and there are no terms
when it’s quiet before human activity begins
to overwhelm and override their sins.
- Happiness is that feeling of familiarity
seeing the world with comfortable clarity,
knowing what’s around the bend
and hoping the peace never ends.
- Happiness today is the sense of release,
the built up stress can temporarily cease!
- Happiness today is the sun shining through the wind,
sitting in the warmth of its rays welcoming whatever the universe will send.
- Happiness today is the yoga mat
where one can be sat
focusing on breath, body, and alignment
with the mind, soul, and physical to find a balance and be content.
- Happiness today is being present in the here and now
without worrying about the what, when, or how;
breathing in, breathing out; I am here, now.
- Happiness today is my morning cup of coffee
what lies inside and ahead we cannot yet see,
but that is what makes the adventure;
creating our greatest future.
- Happiness today is companionship and love
in the form of soulmates and kindred spirits sent from above;
through laughter, food, and wine
we shall enjoy the passing of time.
- Happiness today comes with a purr,
the warmth and softness of their fur;
patiently waiting for me to wake
for the food they are dying to partake.
- Happiness today is in the rain coming down
as it means a period indoors aside from a quick trip to town;
cats are napping thanks to the grey,
but even that makes me smile, I have to say!
- Happiness today is the cup of English Breakfast tea
made as part of the morning routine for my husband and me;
it’s the compromise of our blending – English and American –
first there’s tea, then coffee, sometimes made by me and sometimes by my man.
- Happiness today is the adrenaline rushing
in preparation for nearly 200 people watching
an online event for adoptees,
who were all sent overseas.
- Happiness today is the feeling of making a difference
when another being can sense
they are not alone,
but through their tribe, are at home.
- Happiness today is the color green
and the gift of all that can be seen;
sometimes we miss or take for granted
a view that may be slanted
on the spectrum toward grey,
but there are so many colors in a day.
- Happiness today is feeling awake
besides getting up early by mistake,
with a restless night’s sleep,
a nap in the afternoon sun will be no leap.
