Happiness

A brisk, barefoot walk by the seaside, the waves reaching out and lapping at one's feet.Pretty pink and multi-coloured shells that ir-resistably beckon,the real scents of the surf, and the sand, and the setting the sun, one's companion.

Then, sitting by the seaside,munching popcorn and sipping steaming hot, cardamaom flavoured tea, with plenty of time to spare...

'Cappucino and brownies' at Starbucks-with friends who matter...and talking the next hour/two/three away...On just about anything and everything...The getting another cup or two and starting all over again...

Listening to someone who needs to talk, and letting them take their time. For who knows, when they might get such an opportunity again?
Never mind, if you can't come up with immediate answers, or magic solutions. Because every once in a while, even you might come upon situations that defy conventional wisdom or logic.

Your eyes meeting those of a stranger in a crowd, only to feel an 'Instant connection'...And understanding that you have reached out to him/her in that brief instant, and possibly given them the re-assurance that all is not lost.
That tommorrow is another day, and that things will be better...

And the satisfaction of knowing that he/she has received your unspoken message.

Giving away that Chinese jacket, along with so many other 'new' clothes that you haven't worn in the last three years to the Thrift shop.
Knowing that finally someone else will be able to wear/use what you thought you would, maybe next month, next year... and never did.

Having a quiet dinner with your companion,where 'spoken communication' ceases to be important. Instead,letting your eyes/mind do the talking, "For in silence, lie the joys of real communication."
