Happiness Is...

To me, happiness is....

- autumn in New England on a sunny day

- re-reading a favorite book

- a bubble bath with candles

- an empty beach on a clear summer day

- jazz (think Davis or Coltrane)

- pop jazz (think JMayer or JCullum)

- amaretto sours & good conversation

- sitting in front of a fireplace with a book on a snowy day

- a long phone call from an old friend

- Carolina Tar Heel National Championships

- the ache the day after a great workout

- fresh cut flowers for no reason at all

- cupcakes

- the Grover "Smell Like A Monster" Sesame Street Clip

- the "Happiest Penguin in the World" YouTube clip

- uncontrollable laughter with friends

- Starbucks Red Cups

- Starbucks Vanilla Chai (even if its not in a red cup)

- sleeping in without setting an alarm

- a finished thesis (or so I hope!)

- staying in pajamas all day

- dancing around your room to loud pop music (think Gaga or *NSync)

- handwritten letters in the mail

- peanut butter

- making snowmen and snow-forts and sledding

- people to love and be loved by

- friends

- family
