1. Pleasant feelings of all shapes and sizes.

If I think about it, the moments of greatest happiness in my life aren't so much related to this or that (with one exception--- the happiness of family love). What I would say the moments of greatest happiness are the ones that just come. One day, I blissed out on the sofa looking at my unkept basement. But most "life" milestones left me thinking, "Is that all there is?" And when I get really sick, it wouldn't matter if I were surrounded by sunsets, dancing girls, and million dollar bills. So for me, I would say it is less what is appearing and more how is it feeling.

You know what though, we let go of everything every night drifting off into sleep (or sometimes when meditating). The first thing to go are all the problems and worries. Then personal memories, the body, all of it goes. And it is so great that it is sometimes hard to get out of bed in the morning.
