Happiness
Happiness...
The best feeling.
Like the aroma of fresh-baked, homemade cookies.
Like getting an A+ on a test you studied hard for.
Like laughing with a friend until your muscles start aching.
Like falling in love for the very first time.
Like the taste of your favorite frozen yogurt.
Like a million butterflies in your stomach on a first date.
Like watching the sunset which looks just like a painting.
Like sleeping in on a cold, winter snow day.
Like going to the beach and soaking up the sun.
Like riding your bike without training wheels for the first time.
Like finally succeeding after failing so many times.
Like getting over a fear you never thought you’d overcome.
Like your mom’s homemade soup when you come down with the flu.
Like watching the stars in a field late at night.
Like reading your favorite book you’ve read thirteen times.
Like going to sleep after such a long, busy day.
Like hearing the birds chirp for the first time since Winter.
Like the smell of rain on the pavement outside.
Like wearing warm clothes that come straight out the dryer.
Like knowing every single word to your favorite song.
Could you name a better feeling?
