Happiness Offerings

In discussion with a thoughtful person last week i made the comment about feeling happy. Reeling from the shock that such optimism should be admitted to, he asked how I would describe it.

So today's offering is my working definition of happiness
Happiness is like caramel sauce bubbling over on the stove.

Last night the small fish, when quizzed on the topic, proclaimed "that isn't happiness". He was snuggled up on my lap watching the football (but never let it be said that a word about sport passed from my lips). I pushed him to say what happiness was.

Mmm...
wiggle...
"I'm happy!"
