What Makes Me Happy


 Tasty food digesting well

Waking naturally from sleep

Sweet-smelling flowers

Technicolor sunsets (I’ve heard of sunrises; rarely seen ‘em)

Accomplishing something, nearly anything

I wish I could say that good news makes me happy, but I’m too cynical to believe that most good news won’t be almost immediately overtaken or countered

Sometimes good developments in something I’m watching or reading can touch me, but not often

Once in a while, I remember the generosity of a friend or some glorious achievement of my past

And in between the moments of happiness, I settle for being content
