Happiness is..

My Gramma/Grandpa had this book at their house called "Happiness Is.." It was full of little illustrations of blob like critters and pages of happiness inducing fill in the blanks.
"Happiness is a hug. Happiness is home. Happiness is milk and cookies. Happiness is a sunny day."
I'd like to ask a group of 8 year olds what happiness is now.
"Happiness is a Wii and iPods"
No shame. It's 2008. Technology took over milk and cookies a long time ago.

BUT WHAT DOEST IT FEEL LIKE?


I'll try to pay attention next time I'm really really happy.
Emotions. It's a lot to wrap your brain around. I put this right up there with black holes and feral children.
