Years ago there was a cute little Peanuts cartoon that featured Snoopy hugging Lucy with a caption underneath that said-'happiness is a warm puppy'.
Do you know what else happiness is?
It's a day spent outdoors...
with little girls all grown up still walking arm in arm
on a beautiful blue sky day.
Happiness is sweethearts...
both the young and the 'not so young'.
It's an afternoon movie and a game of cards around the kitchen table.
It's bowling balls and laughter.
Happiness is daughters and a day set aside to give thanks.
It's a football game...
won in the literal last minute of play.
Happiness is a red velvet cupcake and a million dollar smile...
It's fathers...
and sisters...
and family...
and yes, happiness is most definitely a warm puppy too.
What a beautiful post. So happy for all your expressions of happiness this past Thanksgiving.
