The flower I saw this growing in my yard .. That brought me happiness.
That sun on my face as I took my morning walk.. That brought me happiness.
Playing with my dog on a lazy Sunday afternoon. That brought me happiness.
The wind in my hair as I sat outside and glazed at the sky. That brought me happiness.
That feel-good movie I saw later that day.. That brought me happiness.
That warm bath I took with that glass of wine. That brought me happiness.
The dinner I whipped up turned out great.. That brought me happiness.
The hug from that friend when I needed it the most. That brought me happiness.
That after-body lotion that smells so good after my shower.. That brought me happiness.
Silence.. that made me happy.
Music in my ears.. That brought me happiness.
At the end of the day, I realized all I have been doing all my life is going after things that will NEVER truly make me happy.
It's NOT the money in the bank.
It's NOT the expensive car you drive.
It's NOT that luxury house.
Happiness is found in the simplest things in life. It's the in-between things you are doing that offer you the most happiness. The type of happiness that stays with you. Not the temporary type.
Simplicity.. Simple and pleasant.. That's where you find that happiness that stays with you throughout your day.
So Enjoy The Simple Things In Life.
