smile.

happiness is...
  • a chocolate coke from Guerin's Pharmacy
  • a playlist including Jay Clifford, Brandi Carlile, John Mayer Trio and Robert Randolph & the Family Band
  • a improv show or rehearsal that brightens your entire day
  • watching "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" for the umpteenth time and quoting every word
  • "just sitting" in a park
  • a day at the farm with shotguns, skeet, and bakies
  • an impromptu 8-minute band jam on a B-chord
  • an iced coffee in the morning
  • a fresh pumpkin scone with a double-shot of espresso in the afternoon
  • a text message conversation worth keeping
  • spending time with an amiable toddler
  • making a not-so-amiable toddler smile
  • making a not-so-amiable grown person smile
  • knowing where "home" is and going there as often as you can
  • knowing who "home" is and being with them as often as you can
  • finding out that you're "home" for someone else
  • memorizing a song or poem with many words
  • finding someone who actually enjoys listening to you quote aforementioned song or poem
  • being understood
  • making someone laugh without really meaning to
  • a wedding with your dearest friends in the world
  • looking back at a period of time and marvelling at the work of redemption

these are just some things that make my life amazing to me.
