Hey!
We are into the last challenge of the marathon!
For Day #10 we are given a single prompt that has to be used as the starting line to write a paragraph in less than 500 words.
So the prompt given is "Happiness is..." Good one, right?
My first thought was the Happiness page I follow on Facebook. It has such cute sketches and images; I have quite a few saved to my computer. :)
But if you were to ask me what happiness is, I'd say it is the ability to make other's smile, especially kids. Happiness is to see a child hold my finger and not let it go, it is to see a flock of birds flying across the sunset sky, it is to bake a perfect cake, it is to listen to an old song and remember all its lyrics, it is to see my mother happy, it is to read Christie to Holmes, it is to take the exact picture I wanted of sunsets and clouds, it is to see the seeds sprout in my flowerpots.
Happiness is so many tiny things that seem inconsequential in this busy and fast-paced world. It is the ability to be able to live life on one's terms and take time to smell the roses in a garden. And finally, happiness is to listen to the national anthem as the flag flies high!
This post ends the IBMC and I totally enjoyed participating even though there were times when I had no idea what to write.
