Flowers. For the past three days, I've been watching my vase of ranunculus unfurl their fistlike blossoms, red and maroon and yellow and pink.They make me unaccountably happy.
...definitely not a cat raising up suddenly from your lap and licking your cold sore with her sandpaper tongue. Yes little housecat, I am sure you thought it needed to be cleaned. Do not do it again.
Stumpy, the kitten in the garden that was born last October with only three feet. Even though the neighborhood street cats beat her up, she has developed the sweetest disposition and the softest coat. When I take breaks from my writing and pace around with my cigarette and furrowed brow, and she limps along behind me, croaking her little meows and begging to be scratched behind the ears. If we didn't feed her, I am sure she would not have lived through the winter. Against hers, my cares seem small and my joys meager.

Congrats to Rob and Jan, richat!
Happiness is a quiet night with the kids where no one is fighting and everyone is happy and getting along. Now, who are these people, and what did they do with my family?!
Happiness is waking up on Saturday morning (or any day you don't have to get out of bed) on a cool spring or summer morning, laying there awake while the breeze wafts through the room with the smell of flowers, and staying warm under the covers knowing that you can lay there as long as you want.
...a day at home snuggling with the boyfriend, watching movies and listening to the gliders bounce around in their cage. Topped off with BBQ ribs delivered for dinner.
