Seven Types of Ordinary Happiness

I came across this cartoon on an old copy of 'The Age', entitled 'The Seven Types of Ordinary Happiness', it is a cartoon by Leunig. Sorry you can't see the cartoons, but it is the descriptions that causes one to pause and wonder for a while, with a smile.. ... Here goes:

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 Saddness
6) The Strange Happiness Associated with Seeing a Meteorite or Shotting Star
7) Diffuse, Residul Happiness Resulting from Rhythmic Domestic Tasks such as Washing the Dishes

Can you relate? What are your forms of 'ordinary happiness'?

Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication.Yours is a nice blog.
