happiness in 5 words or less..

Life is pretty damn simple when it comes down to it.

Spend time with people who make you happy.

Go places that make you happy.

Do things that make you happy.

Be a person that makes you happy.

Be happy.

Being a stupid human though, I tend to lose sight of this simplicity. 

I over-complicate life.

I make things harder than they need to be.

I fantasize about happiness and some long road that it takes to get it.

I know that it should be simple, 

but the gap between knowing and living what you know is large.

I'm closing my gap through small steps..

noticing the happy that comes from the small things,

the little moments in a normal day that make you smile,

and make you happy

I've found most of these moments can be summed up damn simply. 

In fact, I think the best moments are those that need little explanation.

And come with few words:

"I love you"

"I'm proud of you"

"We are now boarding"

All of these are short and sweet saying that just bring so much damn happiness to me.

Happiness comes in 5 words or less.

So what 5 words or less are bring me happiness today?

"I brought you Wisconsin beer"

A good friend. 

Bringing me a piece of my Wisconsin roots in the form of my favorite beer...

which can only be bought in Wisconsin.

Don't know how the hell she got this nectar of the gods to nyc,

but it sure as hell made my day.

What's bring you happiness today (in 5 words or less, of course)?
