What is happiness??

[ph03nix]

So what makes you happy? Or, if you're not happy, how would you define happiness?

I'm a simple girl... I'm fairly easily pleased most of the time.
I don't like money all that much, and am much happier now that we have very little, than I was when I was wealthier.
I like nature... camping, caving, bushwalking, the beach... I'd much rather spend the weekend doing these things than at the Hilton.
I would rather chill with my baby and a good smoko, than go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant.
I'd rather a smoke that gives me a good head stone rather than that heavy, lazy body stone.
I would be happier to hitch around the country than to travel by plane.
I'd favour listening to a live house band in the local pub over Kylie's concert extravaganza.
I love a good fine malt whiskey... don't mind a beer... and absolutely HATE champagne.
I'd much rather stare at a fishtank... or out a window... than a TV screen.


But the easy answer would be... my family... I believe they truly are the key to my happiness.

LOL... The man I call 'my baby'... as in my one true love... my heart and soul... my rock... my guidance... my reason... the other side to my coin... my soulmate... my best friend...

HE makes me happy. Incredibly so... more than I would have thought possible. You know how sometimes you imagine the most perfect person for you? But in real life you think that you will never find anyone who is your perfect match? Well, he is better than I ever dared to imagine.

emotions experienced when in a state of well-being............

Depends on my mood.I was watching my kid sleep one day, and as I was looking down at her, I said to whoever is out there,"Thank you for this, right here and now."Then when she was being an ass one day, I yelled to the same presence out there,"What have I done to deserve this???!"

Being out on my bike makes me happy, especially when hubby and I take off for the whole day.

The looks on my family members faces when they opened their gifts christmas morning makes me happy.

Just chillin here on the net smoking some bongs makes me happy.

Goofing with my silly dog when she's frisky makes me happy.

Cuddling up with a kitty, a blanket and a good book = happy

Oh, I've done that too. I guess I'm lucky to have kids who get along reasonably well together... we all do, really. Although... there was this incident once with my oldest daughter and an opened packet of chocolate that I couldn't really afford to buy.....

You really sound like my kind of girl Hester.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I'm pretty simple, I can be entertained for hours just watching geese. I like nature and the outdoors. The woods are my church, I love the smell of the woods.

 

[ph03nix]

We used to have Indian Runner Ducks. They run along vertically, and they flock together. You should see if you can google a video..... they're funny.

"I love the smell of the woods"... I like that.
I love the smell of a rainforest...
I love the sound of thunder...
I love the feel of the sun on my skin...
I love the way the wind whips round your body when you're standing at the beach...
I love the songs that birds make up...
I love the sound of a childs' laugh...

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I love when my dog smiles
I love when I'm out on my bike with the sun shining
I love when my cats like to cuddle
I love that rain smell, but am not a fan of thunderstoms
I love when my plants show me pistals
I love this master kush I got last night, smells so good, tastes so fine......

I had thought to post something about happiness, and thought of a place I sat at once. But then I realised it wasn't actually happiness that I felt at the time...it was just 'right'(?). No, it was a feeling of,
"if I don't do anything else with my life, that's OK. I've had the opportunity to be in this place just once."

I know, it's obtuse. But I can't explain the feeling I felt. It was a feeling of utter peace. Enlightenment? but not in that textbook religious 'I saw God' thing (I'm non-commital on the God stuff). Maybe I found *myself* that day. I realised *who* I was.

Happiness is simply wanting what you already have, nothing more, nothing less.

I could never imagine feeling full happiness without my children though..

I believe that this place is the place that I have dreamed of (literally) all my life. I have never been there but I have felt the pull of the place since my early teens. Happiness is knowing that one day very soon I'll be able to see it with my own eyes...

Happiness is simply wanting what you already have, nothing more, nothing less.

Congratulations... I think you will be happy for a long time...

The saddest day of my life was the day that I found out that the baby I was carrying had died. I felt like I'd been cheated out of so much...

When my kids were little and they liked to play "tiny baby" and would let me cuddle them for a long time, sometimes I miss those days.

Oh, I loved that too. That's when they are the best behaved... just lying there...

One of my happiest moments was hearing my childs' first word... but that was nothing compared to hearing them say 'I love you' the first time. I cried... every time

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I'm eventually going to have grandchildren. My son has been in a serious relationship for about a year and a half now. He's pushing 24, I'm not pressing for grandkids, but I know it will eventually happen. Now that is going to be some fun. Getting to cuddle babies again but not having all the work. That'll be happiness.

 

[robert 14617]

happiness for me is after all day with me feeding them pepsi and m&m's getting to send the grad child home with my son...

 

[misshestermoffitt]

You're bad

I'm pretty typical. Money, drugs, and my woman. All I need in life.
