    Yep, happiness is getting your six year old Civic with 95,000+ miles on it back from the shop to find it drives like a hovercraft! Loving it! :woohoo:

    Happiness is rediscovering things that bring you joy.  Having the wisdom befitting my age, and the options of those who are half my age.  ;D  Feels like I'm cheating on a test!  ;D

    I love my car all clean and shinny. It seems to drive better after it's been through a car wash. B)

    Putting a diet coke in the freezer and remembering to take it out just in time for it to be perfectly icy on the inside but not so much that it explodes when you open it. That perfect balance of liquid and ice. YUM!!!!

    Inversely, its not a very happy moment when you dont remember you put it in the freezer until the next morning. :pinch:

    Happiness is knowing that it's only 2 more months until temperatures are almost always under 100 degrees F.

    And another AMEN here... It rained so hard here a few days ago, I sat on the front porch watching it come down and I felt like I was behind a waterfall. The water was falling off the roof in glass-like sheets and it was beautiful.... :)

    Preach On Women! Praise the Rain! WooHOO! We are getting a little shower this morning, minus thunder and lightening, so we may go out and splash in the mud puddles in a bit. :) YIPPEE!

    Happiness is splashing in mud puddles during a heat wave. :)

    :huh: I'm so jealous of all the rain you guys are having.
    :side: I want to jump in some mud puddles too. :P The only mud puddles I see are the ones created by my sprinkler system. I've had to cut back on watering my plants, we're on a well and some people have had their wells go dry. I'm being very conservative with my water usage. I know, rain will come soon, it always does. :unsure: But, I'm not holding my breath.;)

    Edit: I'm sorry I forgot this is a \"happiness is\" thread.
    I'll just end it with a :P.
    Yes, that'll do it. :)

    Happiness is my mom's whole flower bed dying so she had to till it all up. Then sneaking around the water restrictions for 10 minutes to create a big mud puddle. Then watching my kids turn brown from head to toe by jumping in the mud. :) I never said mud puddles came easy. :)

    Happiness is sometimes allowing yourself to be naughty, just a little.

    Having a full staff at the office...

    Happiness is..... ...Leaving work early because you miss your spouse. ...The ability to shut your office door when you're having \"one of those days\" ...Finding out that there really are more stars in the country than in the city. ...Knowing how true J.M. Barrie was when he wrote \"Memories are given so that we might have roses in December.\" ...Being able to find some place, Like Isara, where you can be yourself and feel good. ...knowing there are people who love you. ...being able to tell people how you really feel about them. ...the ability to love your friends, no matter what stupid thing they may do. ...the ability to admit you screwed up. ......realizing that, in fact, life is like a box of chocolates. Now because you never know what you're going to get, I mean most have a map now days, but knowing that every box is going to have something you don't want, something you love, and lots you can share with those close to you.

    Mom - Don't think heavyj is strange. He was just trying to be clever. The Beatles had a song called \"Happiness is a warm gun\".
