Happiness equals Contentment

3/19/2010

"What made me happy today?" is a question I asked myself each night.  My answers did not vary a lot this week.  My family made me happy.  Watching my grandsons share a party with their friends made me happy.  Watching the two year old help his one year old friend climb the step made me happy.  Knowing that he already cares about and is so gentle with his friends made very happy for him and all the relationships that he will have over the years.  The knowledge that this exercise in recognizing happiness is having an effect on how I think and feel makes me happy.  Realizing that I am very content in what I am doing now makes me happy each day.  So it was a good week filled with ordinary days, quiet moments, and time to spend with family and friends all which for me equals happiness and contentment.

Being happy doesn't need to be about excitement or the new. What you've described is a perfect description of contentment and happiness in that :)

This last line says so much:

>>>> So it was a good week filled with ordinary days, quiet moments, and time to spend with family and friends all which for me equals happiness and contentment.

Yay for happiness, shared.

Contentment, this is something I do not have so very often. I must think about it.

Happy week(end) 2U

There are so many kinds of happiness, and contentment is a very special one. Seems that you have learned to cultivate it by enjoying the small moments and human connections. How wonderful!

It is truly life's simplest pleasures that bring such happiness. And family has got to be the very best of them.
