happiness is...

This song brings back kindergarten days. We presented this during our graduation rites, and I could still remember the presentation we made, that I was one of the leads (haha). Oooh... memories.

HAPPINESS

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time

Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time

Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree

Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free

Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along

Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you


This got me to thinking actually (out of boredom at work hehe) and I was thinking if I'm happy now. I guess despite the sacrifices I'm making, the lack of progress at work, and being away from my family, I'm happy. This song points out that small stuff make you happy.

My weekly conversations with my parents make me happy. My sister texting me online makes me happy. The MMS photos of my nephew makes me happy. Discovering new places makes me happy. Meeting new friends make me happy. Getting reunited with old friends make me happy. Receiving emails from family and friends make me happy. Hope makes me happy. Knowing that I'll be fine makes me happy.

I guess it doesn't take much to make me happy huh? :)
