Permapost: Happiness Is...

Any of my old-school (I mean really old-school) APO folks who might happen to be reading this would remember ConferU. Confer was sort of a pre-cursor to modern day message boards, where we had various pre-defined topics that anyone in the group could add their thoughts to. One of them was "Happiness is..."

In order to bring a bit of an interactive nature to this site, I'm going to put up a permanent link on the right-side navigation to the comments on this post. Please feel free to leave comments there and tell us what's making YOU happy today, or any day. Post as often as you like! (Within reason folks. Unless you're a spammer, then by all means, please clutter my little sunny corner of the net with your V1ag ra and m0rtg^ge rubbish!)

Seriously, I'll leave it un-moderated and open for now, as long as there's no problems.

I'll start...

Laying in a field of soft grass looking up at the clouds passing by, hearing only the sounds of nature...

Hmmm...

Watching my beloved Red Wings.
Hearing loons on the nearby lake.
The smell of lilacs.
A kiss from a puppy.
Seeing Pavel Datsyuk's beautiful smile.
A walk along the beach.
Wings training camp in September, and knowing I'll be there.
When a friend says "I love you" and sends me a gift for no reason.
Pavel Datsyuk...period. Pure joy.

Happiness is...having both bosses in other cities immediately following a 4-day weekend! Ah, peace and quiet!

It makes me happy when I get a gift for no particular reason. A friend of mine got me this really great Red Wings hoodie...black with red trim. It's awesome! I can't wait to wear it when it turns chilly.

It's always nice to get a gift without reason...and to give them too.

...two straight nights of great music at The Crane Bar with an international flare--a Danish group playing Irish music, then an Italian/Polish/Irish group playing Blues.

Getting a phone call from an all-grown-up former Cub Scout, thanking me for my time and efforts on his behalf. He even remembered our old Den One cheer!
(even though said phone call came at 1:30 AM from Germany!)

...still being in Galway, yet knowing I'll still be seeing family soon enough.
