THE MEANING OF HAPPINESS...

It is the simplest things in life that makes us happy. More often than not, we take these little things for granted and instead, chase after big things that we think would bring us happiness more than anything else. I've personally come to realization that if I do not take five and start thinking about what really makes me happy, I'll end up chasing nothing but the wind and that would be simply meaningless?

As I was having my hair cut yesterday, I came across this article on FHM magazine regarding the Top 10 Feelings in Life. Well, I did some thorough reflection on my own and here's my personal 25 Blissful Feelings in Life (and no, it does not involve orgasm as mentioned in the magazine!). See if anything hits the spot for you (no, not that spot!)
