happiness is...

what makes you happy? really really happy?

me: sunrise and sunset. true friends. good laughs with my family, okay fine: he had the ball last. having more family parties to look forward to. doing my version of pay it forward at the 2nd cup drive thru every so often. falling asleep with the rain tapping my window sill. knowing that when i wake up it will be a brand new day and whatever was nagging me the day before is over and done with. long talks with ol' skool pals. running. knowing that i did it for me and not for you or you or you! watching lil' kids be innoncent and mecetrefes.

listening to: india arie.
