Happiness Is

...living in a city that gives you 24 degree days in winter and lets you wear your new summer clothes.
...receiving a text message in the morning from a friend as happy about the impending spring as I am.
...mum telling me this morning that she loves watching Sex and the City, and both of us getting teary at the episode where Miranda decides to keep the baby.
...an email from R in Dublin saying she's remembered who the hot guy at our last dinner looks like: David Ginola. I still think it's Cantona! (a younger, leaner Cantona of course).

Happiness Isn't
...mum having an operation tomorrow. May this be the start of her feeling a little bit better.
