Oh, It’s Tuesday: What is Your Idea of Perfect Happiness? [Proust Questionnaire]
A series of introspection based on Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire.
Oh wow, today’s question is a doozy: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
It’s also an interesting question, b/c much as children eventually stop believing in Santa Claus, I have stopped believing in perfect happiness. There is simply no such thing IMO, b/c happiness is just so vague and fluid.
But I do believe in perfect moments ala BabySmiling’s Perfect Moment Mondays. And sometimes — usually when I’m laughing with family and/or friends — a burst of clarity comes over me, and I realize that this is indeed a perfect moment and that I will remember it forever.
I often think that if I get Alzheimer’s or dementia when I’m older these will be the happy moments that remain, and that gives me comfort.
But how about you? Do you believe in perfect happiness? And if so, what is your idea of perfect happiness?
Thanks for the shout-out, but Perfect Moment Mondays aren't my idea; I just participate. Their home is Weebles Wobblog.
I agree that happiness can't be static. There are supposed to be ups and downs. But, oh, those moments.

I don't think there is such a thing as perfect happiness for me, it's just not a part of my personality. I'm always thinking of some way I could maybe be happier. But I do believe in perfect moments. My recent favorite is snuggling on the couch with my new baby, husband and two cats.
