Happiness
It doesn't take much to feel like a kid again. I always try to be about 6 years old at heart. It makes things much more enjoyable.
For example, my best friend and I were wandering through Walmart yesterday and we spied some bubbles and sidewalk chalk that was necessary to our well being. It wasn't just ANY bubbles. We bought and over-sized bubble wand with bubbles and another container that had a wand with many different openings. It was amazing. The chalk was equally as spectacular. It was Crayola, with 52 pieces of 24 different colors.
The simple joy of covering a sidewalk with your drawings--your masterpieces--is not easily expressed. Doodles of hopscotch and the Lucky Charms song soon covered her driveway, to her parents great surprise.
The bubbles were just as much fun. We opened the sunroof of her Pontiac G6 and stuck a bubble wand through it. The result was pure happiness.
At my best friend's senior prom, we went to the playground in our dresses before hand and ran through the sandbox and slid down the slide. It was completely free, but made the experience that much more memorable.
There are other roads to happiness. It could be a simple thing, like drinking a can of Vanilla with a straw or putting your hair into a side pony tail. Make a wish on a dandelion, or on a shooting star.

The personas allow you to liven up your Firefox explorer. Every time I look at it, I smile.
Sunshine for you!
