Happiness is seeing a quilt you have made being used. When I showed up at my sister's house, the Dresden Plate quilt I made her was on the bed I was to sleep in, and she was in a rocker, nursing Dorian with his Bright Idea quilt draped over the two of them. Just what a quilter wants to see!
Happiness is getting an unexpected pedicure from your niece - it is nice to be pampered!
Happiness is watching your husband teach your just-turned-5-year-old how to ride a bike with no training wheels. Just in time, too, because we are currently on Martha's Vineyard on vacation - no car, just bikes, heaven!
Happiness is watching your kids frolic in the waves. I was a bit sad because I'm not allowed to go swimming yet, but when I put my feet in the water, all of a sudden I was happy to have an excuse to not get in that frigid water!
Happiness is coming across your child asleep, worn out from an 8 mile bike ride plus 3 hours in the sun and surf.
Happiness is realizing you can feel happiness again after something sad happens in your life. Thank you all for the kind and encouraging words!
