Happiness is…

whoopi cushion

I tend to put my head in the sand when a difficult situation arises and I’m slowly trying to change that habit. It’s difficult to do, though, when this is what I’ve done for so long. I long for a day that I will be completely swallowed up by my own feeling of happiness… being content in every single way.

I have found myself to be most happy:

Helping to plan my family reunion.

Seeing my kids smile.

Receiving a thank you from my boss for a job well done.

Singing.

Writing.

Having long telephone conversations with my best friend.

Watching a romantic comedy.

Listening to music.

Worshiping in a church with friends that love me no despite my transgressions.

Eating anything made with chocolate.

Enjoying an ice cold beer while singing karaoke.

Drinking a good cup of coffee.

Laughing with my kids.

Being on a Colorado mountain.

Soaking my legs and feet in the New Jersey shore.

After a good shampoo and haircut.

Learning something new.

What makes you happy?

About Desiree

Hi, I’m Desiree Allen, a thirty-something single parent with two children. A native of Denver, Colorado, I lived there until 2009, when I moved across the country to northern New Jersey with my kids. I am doing my best to avoid ‘picking up’ a Jersey accent, but I’m not making promises that I won’t eventually start sounding like some of my new friends.
