Synonyms: 1, 2. pleasure, joy, exhilaration, bliss, contentedness, delight, enjoyment, satisfaction. Happiness, bliss, contentment, felicity imply an active or passive state of pleasure or pleasurable satisfaction. Happiness results from the possession or attainment of what one considers good: the happiness of visiting one's family. Bliss is unalloyed happiness or supreme delight: the bliss of perfect companionship. Contentment is a peaceful kind of happiness in which one rests without desires, even though every wish may not have been gratified: contentment in one's surroundings. Felicity is a formal word for happiness of an especially fortunate or intense kind: to wish a young couple felicity in life. So....... starting out this year we (myself and Ali) have to decided to focus on all the things that truly make us happy and document our findings and accomplishments here. This idea first started as a way for us to stay better connected to each other as the normal day to day grind of our busy, hectic lives and distance, (she lives in Portland, Oregon and I in Spokane, Washington) stretch us to the limit. Although the pursuit of happiness sounds simple and idyllic the truth is you have to work at it and no one is responsible for your happiness except you. People who are truly happy will rejoice in your happiness as well and if they don't, well then they just have not yet found their peace. My goal for this year, decade, life is to find,maintain, and rejoice in all that makes me happy and cherish it along with striving to pass that happiness along. That is what we are going to document in this blog.
