What Is Happiness-Do You Know?

Happiness To Me

Happiness is an emotion associated with feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy. A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have been taken to defining happiness and identifying its sources.

Wikipedia defines happiness above. I define happiness as:

*A walk on the beach.

*Spending time with my family.

*Blogging on Rain.

*Visiting friends

*Going to Church

*Watching the snow fall.

*Making new friends.

*Watching a movie I haven't seen.

*A drive through the countryside.

*Writing poetry.

*Listening to music. (My favorites are country, gospel and rock and roll)

*Staring at the stars at night.

These are just a few things that bring me happiness. What about you? How do you describe happiness?

Laura.. Happiness is what makes people feel good.. and that can be a range of things. Right now, with the weather being a little cooler here in the northeast.. my idea of happiness is being left alone (children away for a while) in my remodeled bathroom.. and enjoying the air-jet tub with the cromatherapy.. and a nice glass of white wine with strawberries.

Is this TMI? Too much information.

Happiness is God and family. I am so blessed, and very thankful to be blessed with good kids and a loving husband who also puts God first in his life. Even though the economy is bad and things are not perfect in the world, I can go home and enjoy peace most days, unless war breaks out between the kids!!!

Oh a walk on a beach (with warm sunshine) would feel so good about now!

Laura, I saw a piece of advice you left for someone about doing BPO's on the side - where does one begin if they want to look into doing them?

I decided to write down all of the blessings I am counting this week, and when I got to the end of the page I realized that there wasn't one single thing on my list that money could buy. It was the peolpe and relationships and experiences with the ones I love and who love me, and give me a reason to get up each morning!

Nov 23, 2008 05:26 PM

Janna-Well said and I love your answer. True happiness is not found by buying it and you expressed it very well in your comment. Thank you for sharing and commenting.

Laura - You are always such a happy person around The Rain and you and I are the only two members at the Happy group. How would you like to play a bigger part?

Nov 28, 2008 05:06 PM

Robert-What do you need me to do? Just let me know..

Nov 29, 2008 12:15 PM

Robert-I have invited a few to the group. Hope they will join and add some of their blogs..
