Happiness is......

So i saw this on a billboard today:
"Happiness is an organized closet" It was an advertisement for the container store. Which i love.........i've been there once and never knew i needed so much organizational stuff until i stepped into the store.
Anyway,
I totally agree, how wonderful, unfortunately i dont have that luxury,being i have very small closets in my very old house.
But, it got me thinking,
someone once explained to me that happiness was outside, but joy was inside. (I know they said it more eloquently than that, but you know, that sums it up)
Anyway, so in my head i started this process:
Happiness is an organized closet, but joy is being loved.
Happiness is a clean house, but joy is loving like you've never loved before.
Happiness is a quiet, uneventful evening, but joy is my daughters laughter.
Happiness is a good dinner, but joy is teaching someone skills they will use a lifetime.
Happiness is a good movie, but joy is feeling a baby kick inside your belly.
Happiness is a routine day ,but joy is a surprise visit by your best friend.
Happiness is a night out, but joy is connecting with a lover.
Happiness is a spring day, but joy is spending a day with my family.


Your turn................

Happiness is..................
