"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Dr. Seuss

Happiness…

A penny in the parking lot, heads up.

A tail wag.

A smile.

Seeing a good deed.

Doing a good deed.

Car window down, dog’s head out.

Seeing a hug.

Hugging.

A family reunited (especially little kiddos) with a loved one who has been away protecting our freedoms.

Air conditioning.

A pair of jeans outta the dresser, finding a $20 bill in the front pocket.

Seeing an old friend, thanking God that you’ve each been afforded old.

A significant other, who upon sight, places you in a trance (a yummy trance.)

Waking up thinking “Holy shit, what am I gonna do now?,” only to find, it was a dream.

Witnessing good sportsmanship.

Pharrell, fo'real.

The easy chair.

The best of smells.. Sheets hung on the clothesline.. White Shoulders.. Nautica.. Anything coconut.. Pine needles.. Needed rain on hot asphalt. Puppy breath.. Dinner, one room away. A campfire. Vanilla. Petrol. Fresh cut grass. BBQ. Popcorn. New car. Spearmint. Babies. Flowers.

The best of ears: Good to see you. A line drive off a wooden bat. Laughter. Birds chirping. Rain on the roof. Coffee brewing. Wine cork popped. A stream. The start of a race. Music, much. Your child, teaching their child.

The good, fun, loving stuff on Face book - and to those who poo-poo Face book (VICTOR, this blog is about happy).. Oh yeah, never mind.

A body that works, even if it don’t work like it usedta work.

A car that works, even if it don’t work like it usedta work.

Not having to work, when you usedta work.

Nature.

Signs of Spring.

Autumn’s wondrous prep for Winter.

Snow.

Being so worn out, a nap is in order, immediate snooze, followed by no snooze alarm clock. Screw Folgers (VICTOR!) the best part of waking up is when you wanna.

Women say taking bra off at end of day.

Men just say taking her bra off.

A horse’s winnie, a pig’s snort, an owl’s hoot, a goat’s spastic (but wonderful) sudden jump.

Being thankful, reminded, this is the best Country in the World to live in.

Good people getting their due.

The ability to pay bills that are due.

Silencing a persistent cuss with “In due time.”

Every month of the year, every day of the week, every hour in the day.

Reminders, whether they come in the mailbox, your phone, in an email, to your eyeballs, your ears, your touch, your heart: Life is pretty damn good.

Please don’t sit on me because I ain’t the biggest Lily Tomlin fan, but I will always love her Edith Ann saying.. And in this case, about ‘happy’: “And that’s the truth.”

Party on Garth, life’s pretty friggin’ good.

Love, Victurd
