heads down bottoms up: Seven Types of Ordinary Happiness

heads down bottoms up

This new skin brings about a fresh new beginning, a change, reminding us the importance of looking at things from another perspective so that we may learn to understand and accept all that we see for not what they appear to be, but what they truly are.

Seven Types of Ordinary Happiness

1. Secret happiness which is steady but beautifully delicate
2. Three minutes of happiness borrowed from a dog
3. Traditional lying down happiness
4. The happiness which comes from staring at a rock
5. Happiness blended with a mysterious sadness
6. The strange happiness associated with seeing a meteorite or shooting star
7. Diffuse, residual happiness resulting from rhythmic domestic tasks such as washing the dishes

I think i can relate well all except number 6; though i sometimes experience it in my dreams. Number 7 sounds rather odd, but some people may in fact experince this unusual form of happiness.

number 7's not so unusual. Domestic tasks can extend to for example, cooking, which personally I do find the diffuse residual happiness. It's dull, the kind of hum as you cook, warm-in-the-depths-of-body-somewhere happiness
