They say parents are only as happy as your least happy child. So the one major thing in my life that makes me happy is seeing my children happy.

For my son, that’s usually either getting an A on a test score, or a goal in hockey or lacrosse.

For my daughter it could be anything because it doesn’t take a lot to make her happy. She’s a pretty happy kid. Putting Hanukkah decorations thrilled her for a week. She couldn’t wait for her family to come and see and comment on them.

Unfortunately I am still searching for something that makes me happy on my own apart from someone else’s happiness.
