Happiness

I was asked today 

What is Happiness ?

and instictively replied 

" Its the state of light before Life punches you in the nose , and you see stars " 

Sounds frivolous doesn't it ?

But then , really , I realised that in the

" busy "moments of Life I have never stopped to contemplate and define this emotion .

Memories of time with people , many likes to photos and posts on Social Media , a nice word of praise , a smile from a stranger ( especially a beautiful girl ) , time spent with four legged people or winged ones , etc etc . I ask is this Happiness ? 

Satisfactory meditation , moments in Communion with God , good philosophy sessions , the worķing of an affirmation etc 

Is this Happiness? 

Well I suppose they are all contributors ! 

Happiness is really , to me , the smile on the face of another and as it got written in one of my poems 

" In your hair , the sunshine 

In your eyes , the sun 

On your lips the laughter 

From which my life is spun "

The fabric of #happiness is woven with the smiles of others .

That and good things being said about me,  by my grave . It would be too late for me but it would be a legacy of happiness ! 😊😊
