Happiness Is

Happiness to me is baking cookies, seeing an old movie that you haven't seen in awhile. 
Walking on the beach and finding seashells.  Seeing a former school buddy.
Backyard barbecues, watching the sunset lying under an old shade tree. Walking to the 
mall and window shopping. My grandchildren coming for a visit. Listening to classic soul 
music, dancing with my grandson when his mom got married. Listening to the birds 
sing in the morning. walking in the rain and stepping in rain puddles. Listening to the 
distance sound of the train coming into the station.
Happiness is whatever you want or need.
