Subscribe to Coffee Break Happiness Is...

Yesterday when I took a shower the door was ajar and the water poured out onto the scale. It is an electronic jobbie so it no longer works. My wife seemed a little heart broken because she and the scale have a daily visit. The fact is, my wife looks GREAT and her weight shouldn't have anything to do with how she feels about herself. Today I was thinking about that scale and a phrase popped into my head, 'happiness is... not having a scale.'

With this I wanted to throw this out to our Biznik community/family. I want to know what makes you happy. We all want to know what makes you happy. So please take a quick moment to finish this sentence.

Happiness is...

    About three weeks ago we had one of those magical Seattle evenings when the weather was so perfect you could cry. I was driving at dusk in my convertible with my twin boys listening to my favorite Springsteen song and the most peaceful feeling came over me. Bliss...shear bliss.

    Happiness is the simplicity of playing with my 4 yr old son and 16 month old daughter. No matter how bad the day way, or how many meetings there were or what happened in traffic; they just want to play with dad. Thier little faces shine, the smiles are wide, well for a moment. Just up until one of them gets clunked, pushed, knocked down, etc. The good news is... wait 5 minutes and the moment will return!
