happiness is washing the grit off lettuce that came from the ground about 20 miles away. the bright, intense red juice the stems leak on the scissors when trimming the greens from the beets. it is the smell of strawberries, tiny and perfect, as they rest waiting to be savored and shared. happiness is not noticing 30 minutes has slipped by while i walk from plant to plant outside whole foods sniffing and tasting. dreaming of buying them all. will i plant the basil and parsley in the same pot. will the mint over take the lavender. do i really need marjoram. loving the lack of knowledge i have. how can there be SO MANY tomato varieties. how did they come up with pineapple sage. what is a chocolate mint plant. happiness is hours in a day to do whatever i want. the way my cat looks so bored all the time. opening a window so he can peak out because i think it makes him happy. i like the sunlight too. hearing the coffee pot shut off and knowing a fresh warm cup is just a few feet away. being able to skip songs on itunes. remembering for a few seconds what it felt like to like this song in 2004. or 2001. 0r 1990. doing little things for the one i love the most.
its a good day.
you should probably tell me what made you happy today.
