Happiness is... Starting each dawn With a bright smile, Notwithstanding Disgruntled faces here and there. Greeting people hello With a friendly wave, And, of course, a smile; Friend or stranger, it doesn't matter. Playing with your children In the backyard, out in the park. Taking the dogs out for a walk. Giving of yourself To God, and to nature. Complete detachment From negative influences And toxic people. Surrounding yourself With people who genuinely love And care about you. Doing whatever you enjoy doing To the best of your ability. Loving yourself Inside out, outside in; Warts and all.
