Happiness is today.  Summer days.  Lemonade and hot dogs and watermelon slices.  Happiness is seedlings poking out of their little pots on the deck.  It’s splash parks and storytime and garage sales.  

Happiness is our backyard.  What we lack in grass is more than made up for in the sheer volume of memories we already have from time spent in our pool.  

Happiness is nieces and nephews and brothers and sister-in-laws.  Cousins, gigis, nannas and papas.  Happiness is family.  

Happiness is life.  And it’s all ours.
