Happiness is an ever changing thought throughout life. I am slowly realising that happiness comes in many forms. Part of the excitement of life, is discovering true happiness. When a child is little, happiness can be as simple as a hug from Mommy or Daddy. The moment when a child finally unlocks the key to reading is a proud moment for the parents and child.
As I watch my thirteen month old niece navigate the world on two feet, I see that happiness is in the moment. When she walks across the room, she stops to clap and squeal with extreme joy. What a great feeling of accomplishment she must have in that moment. Everyone in the room also exudes happiness. Who knew that three or four steps could bring smiles to the faces of so many people?
When I graduated from university, my family & I were so excited we had tears in our eyes. It took me a long time to finish my degree, so when I got to the end, it was that much more special. Happiness means something different to each person.
