Happiness is....

I don't know if anyone can ever really define that... But here's to the innumerable small things that make us happy throughout the day... We may notice them... or not... but well... if you find yourself smiling reading even one of these, you know what I mean...
  • Looking at the beautiful weather and spending your time imagining yourself enjoying the outdoors instead of working...
  • Having furtive conversations in the office with your friends while everybody else is working...
  • Suppressing your smile / laughter in above conversations...
  • The traffic signal turning green from red just as you approach it...
  • No queue in the bank...
  • The store you are in playing a song that you love...
  • Singing in the bathroom...
  • Finding a mail waiting for you when you reach home...
  • Getting a surprise...
  • Giving a surprise...
  • Finding the right snacks in the vending machine...
  • No crowd at the gym...
  • Having a good workout...
  • The TV at the gym is playing a movie / serial you love...
  • A nice shower after a good workout...
  • The temperature of the water is "just right"... :-)
  • Journeys with people you like... (Road trips... bus journeys... flights... walks... just about anything.. )
  • Smiling at a kid and the kid smiles back...
  • Spending time with your friends doing nothing...
  • Laughing your guts out with friends...
  • Having a good cry with your friend...
  • Stealing books / music / movies from friends and not giving them back...
  • Getting back books / music / movies that you lent to friends... ;-)
  • Sitting at the restaurant talking with friends even after the bill has been paid...
  • Sending messages at midnight and getting a call back...
  • Getting messages at midnight and giving a call back...
  • Knowing that a friend you haven't spoken to in a long time is doing well...
  • Getting a call or a mail from that friend...
  • Silly "Girl Talk" with your room mate... (I don't know if boys do that too... and well... it doesn't really matter anyway)
  • Suddenly getting the words of a song you've been trying to remember for a long time...
  • A good coffee... (I am incorrigible when it comes to this!!!)
  • Catching yourself smiling for no reason at all...
  • Dancing.
  • Flowers.
  • Hugs.

And well.. a lot many more... I need to get out of office to enjoy a couple of these small things... else maybe I'd have written some more...

Anyway... if by now you do know what I mean, lemme know some of yours too...

Keep smiling!! :-)
