What Does Happiness Mean to Me?

My mom once asked me this question. She interviewed a handful of people and asked them this same question. I remember people coming up with different answers. Right now, at this point in my life, happiness means a few different things: I appreciate life and all that I have. I am happy because I have a husband who loves me, supports me, and encourages me to do and be the best that I can be. He pushes me to strive to my fullest potential. I appreciate the confidence and praise he gives me when I design or do something that is 'entrepreneur' like. I appreciate my home, which is my shelter, I appreciate the food that we have each day and the love that I have from my family. I appreciate that my parents live close by and that I want to spend as much quality time as I can with them because life is precious and you never know what tomorrow will bring. I am glad my sister and my first niece live very close by. I am appreciative that everyone close to me is in good health and takes care of themselves. I am fortunate to have all of these things. This brings me peace and happiness. Material things are nice, but not as important as family. This is my post on happiness. Everyone has a different meaning of happiness. What does happiness mean to you? I encourage your responses.
