Happiness is...
Sunshine, filtered through deciduous trees or white clouds.
A box of 20 small mangoes carried home. Four down, sixteen to go.
Handfuls of gleaming sun-warmed salmonberries fresh from the bush.
A bowl of cool salmonberries swimming in creamy, sweetened goat's milk.
Pure, raw vegetables and fruit in a feast fit for full bellies and a clean kitchen thereafter.
A cool breeze to relieve hot skin.
The scent of lemons, cilantro and garlic, with the knowledge they'll soon be consumed with zest.
A friend with whom to share delectable delights.
Fresh air, nostalgic scents and wild noises in a sanctuary of trees.
A remembering of past times in which we felt this way.
The knowledge that we can do it again soon.
About
I am a communication designer in Vancouver, BC.

At heart, I'm a geek and a total treehugger. Nature, tea, good food and great company make me happy.

I would be inclined to agree(although I’m not certain about the goat’s milk, never had it). :-)
:) It’s something to get used to, but it lends an interesting flavour to the berries.
