There were many times throughout my life when I find moments of blissful happiness. It's not thing, a place or even people. They are feelings that comes from inside for just a moment and usually not even think about it when it happens. You just go along with that feeling until it dies away. I wish I can freeze that moment in time. When we think of these moments, you have this sense of peace and sometimes a longing and a bit nostalgic. I think I will call it "Life Simple Pleasures." Because you don't work hard for it; it just comes.
The feeling you get when a new born baby hold onto your index finger with its whole hand.
The feeling you get when a child runs up to you and grabs you by your legs and you lower yourself to hold onto them.
The feeling you get when you're swinging on a swing. Then you lean back and look up to the blue cloudy sky and swaying trees and feel the rush of it all with each thrilling fall and rise.
The feeling you get when you kiss the man that you like and his little spikey hairs on his face pokes and tickles you. Especially right by your nose near the upper lip.
The feeling you get when a secret admirer sends you something only they know you like secretly.
The feeling you get when you finally understand and appreciate what was taught to you by a wiser or older person. Especially parents or teachers.
The feeling you get when you blow out your candles and having that wishful moment when you're making a wish. The one you make with your heart.
The feeling you get when you're trying to think of a word that's on the tip of your tongue and finally figure out what it is!
The feeling you get when you want to laugh out real loud but you have to hold your breath, hold your nose, and close your mouth to keep from laughing.
And also the feeling when you burst out laughing.
The feeling you get when you open a letter from a friend you haven't seen for ages and then read their letter as it draws up memories.
The feeling you get when your phone rings and it's the one person you long for very much to call you.
The feeling you get when you have butterflies in your stomach and feel a natural high for anticipating an exciting date, performance, or speech. etc.
The feeling you get when you hear your daughters laughing with each other at night in the room next to you when you're trying to go to sleep when they come home to visit.
Be back more to add some when I can think of it
