happiness

Happiness is

-driving on a sunny day on the beautiful expressway without a destination
-singing loudly to the music as you share a can of coke
-smiling at the man beside as the breeze plays furiously with his hair
-breaking away at little towns and little pools because he wants a swim
-driving through a city he spent a few years at
-listening to old stories of wild parties and wilder women
-eating "for old time's sake" at every place he recognized
-meeting friends and bonding over coffee
-dining together like a couple of lovers on their first date
-getting surprise gifts at midnight from the man
-reviving lost memories over a beautiful lunch with more friends
-making promises and plans to meet again very very soon
-discovering new places and admiring it all
-buying little knick knacks like I do everywhere I go
-the impatient hubby patiently waiting at every little shop I slip into
-getting lost and driving on for over an hour in the opposite direction
and not minding it
-surviving 4 years of marriage and feeling a deeper special bond
-looking forward to many many more years of driving together, singing loudly to the music

Yes, we did all that this weekend.
