Happiness Is ...

Wow, up here in the northeast U.S., we got socked with a big snowstorm last night. NY city got nearly 27 inches. Here in Boston, we got about 12 - 18 inches, depending on where you are in the metro area. It's so beautiful and white, sparkling in the sun. The cars are so quiet as they drive. People are still digging out. And I have the day off work! Wow.

Happiness is a snow day. At home, with folks I love. Just before Valentine's Day. Cocoa and fudge, and good books to read. A fire in the fireplace. A walk in the snowy park with a dog, and coming home to put on slippers. Happiness...

Nobody expressed joy as completely as Charles Schulz' cartoon dog, Snoopy, here with his friend Woodstock. This image is from
