Mother nature, the best destressant there is!

The song of birds after the rain.
The tomcat who loves to sleep on the warm bonnet of your car.
The rose-bush that you thought had died, flourishing, and today you notice a tender bud.
Ah, is this not happiness. |

Rejecting the bizar instructions given by your car navigation, you arrive home using your intuition.

For the crack, starting from somewhere you know, ask your satnav to take you home and marvel at the randomness of the 'scenic route'.
Time to indulge in the joys of technology vs. humanity.

Your new colleague is about to leave the office with a black, leather cap in his hand, when another colleague starts to hum the music from the 'Blue Oyster Bar' scene from Police Academy... Although a little bit embarrassed, he handled it well... but didn't put the cap on when he finally left

Hanging up the mosquito net, because the first mosquito of the year infiltrated your bedroom. You see it as a sign of a beautiful summer approaching.

Getting burned twice in a board game by your nephew whose rolls of the dice were defying statistics. All the players tummies hurt at the end of the evening from laughing.

To imagine yourself exactly the way you wish
and walk into that image, holding it just long enough
to feel the emotions at first, then as time rolls on
and your images get stronger,
your faith takes hold of this image
and within months or years you become
the image you only dreamed of at first
it took a lot, ridding yourself of superstition
and doubt in order to maintain this imagery
now your own thoughts have become in the now
and the smile that ignites in your heart
as you know- it was just a thought
less than a year ago
Ah, is this not happiness

Even when the basil seedling is just 2cm high, the smell is strong and delicious..

preparing a salad with all kinds of herbs and lettuce from your aunt's garden. You serve a portion to someone who doesn't like salads and at the first bite his eyes grow big and he starts to smile, he finishes the bowl clean.

Having walked 6km through the dunes and along the beach with your sister's family. You feel sore, but your symptoms are the same as before the walk. Your head turned red from sunburn, but you just don't care.

Magnolia trees in full and glorious bloom.
The suspicion that the wall-to-wall sunshine of the past two days *was* summertime (fellow Brits nod in empathic recognition).
Being heckled on the street for your attention-grabbing curves (voluptuous women rejoice).
Ah, is this not happiness. |

Having cleaned your house in a matter of 3 hours, where in the past it took you 3 days. Hmmm, the smell of detergents...

A paper cone of fresh-from-the-fryer chips, liberally doused with salt and vinegar, eaten with a little wooden fork as you stroll down the street.
