Creative Meanderings

• Happiness is the waking of the dawn
  when the birds sing their song
  to catch their bugs and worms,
  when the air is fresh and there are no terms
  when it’s quiet before human activity begins
  to overwhelm and override their sins.

• Happiness is that feeling of familiarity
  seeing the world with comfortable clarity,
  knowing what’s around the bend
  and hoping the peace never ends.

• Happiness today is the sense of release,
  the built up stress can temporarily cease!

• Happiness today is the sun shining through the wind,
  sitting in the warmth of its rays welcoming whatever the universe will send.

• Happiness today is the yoga mat
  where one can be sat
  focusing on breath, body, and alignment
  with the mind, soul, and physical to find a balance and be content.

• Happiness today is being present in the here and now
  without worrying about the what, when, or how;
  breathing in, breathing out; I am here, now.

• Happiness today is my morning cup of coffee
  what lies inside and ahead we cannot yet see,
  but that is what makes the adventure;
  creating our greatest future.

• Happiness today is companionship and love
  in the form of soulmates and kindred spirits sent from above;
  through laughter, food, and wine
  we shall enjoy the passing of time.

• Happiness today comes with a purr,
  the warmth and softness of their fur;
  patiently waiting for me to wake
  for the food they are dying to partake.

• Happiness today is in the rain coming down
  as it means a period indoors aside from a quick trip to town;
  cats are napping thanks to the grey,
  but even that makes me smile, I have to say!

• Happiness today is the cup of English Breakfast tea
  made as part of the morning routine for my husband and me;
  it’s the compromise of our blending – English and American –
  first there’s tea, then coffee, sometimes made by me and sometimes by my man.

• Happiness today is the adrenaline rushing
  in preparation for nearly 200 people watching
  an online event for adoptees,
  who were all sent overseas.

• Happiness today is the feeling of making a difference
  when another being can sense
  they are not alone,
  but through their tribe, are at home.

• Happiness today is the color green
  and the gift of all that can be seen;
  sometimes we miss or take for granted
  a view that may be slanted
  on the spectrum toward grey,
  but there are so many colors in a day.

• Happiness today is feeling awake
  besides getting up early by mistake,
  with a restless night’s sleep,
  a nap in the afternoon sun will be no leap.
