There was a commercial which claimed that "Happiness is yelling BINGO!" Well, not for me, but for some of the people I encounter down at the Bingo hall, it must be. But, knowing what it is that makes you happy, is a very helpful analysis of oneself. (You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?) There are many ways of expressing the positive outcome of figuring out what you want to do as a vocation, what you are really looking for in a partner, what style of house you want to live in, right down to what treats are the most satisfying. And for each of us, it is different.
Sham, my handsome son-in-law, has found that the essence of a treat for him is chocolate covered almonds -- he likes cookies and cakes, enjoys fruit and wine, is known to indulge in frozen yogurt, but the one, single item to fulfil his day, is chocolate covered almonds. (There is a hierarchy of these confections, and he has deemed the ones from Harrod's 'superb'.)
How much more contented we all would be if we figured out what we really liked and then concentrated on that.
I have been enjoying my ultimate dinner this week -- good bread and good cheese. Beside the stinky blue and the gooey brie, there has been a Irish stout cheddar. Life is really good!
