Happiness in a day.

May 21, New Philadelphia.

What makes for a moment you know you will remember?
Is it your children's face when they look at you and smile? Is it because nothing bad happened, nobody got ill nor scraped their knees falling? Dylan rode his new bike all day, til he dropped, literally, asleep on the couch, and slept for three hours straight. The minute he was up he was back on the bike again, and he rode til late and dark. Is it because it is warm and sunny after what felt like an eternity under gloomy skies? We were finally basking in the sun, and the heat, today, the feel of a summer day soon a promise. Is it because the lot is inviting, clean, and the town too, people out on patios for lunch, a bookstore and a café, the air of a Saturday?
It is, and also the intangible, indefinite things of a day lived in joy, to the brim, rather unnoticed, filled with the insignificant stuff of your own happiness.
