be happy

"...we all must grab onto those fleeting joys as fast as we can. How? Think small, and just look around you. Take off your high heels and put on your slippers. Eat a piece of chocolate. Watch a funny TV show. Read a shorty story. Hug a spouse or a child or a parent - anybody and everybody. Wipe the crumbs from the kitchen counter. Sit down and do nothing for once in your life. This is happiness, each of these things. And if you incorporate enough of them into your day - and hit Pause when they come, if only for a moment - you might find that you know exactly what it means to 'be happy'."
