Defining Happiness
By Dana Damiani
Happiness. What is it? Where do I find it? Is there a yellow brick road to follow? Does it smell like grandmie’s home-made apple pie? For me it does, but the little things make my day. Heck, I’m easily pleased with a freezer meal. Merriam-Webster, on the other hand, simply says that happiness is a state of well-being and contentment; a pleasurable or satisfying experience ...And suddenly I understand why my third grade teacher said I couldn’t use pretty to define beautiful - they all mean the same thing!
