I received the best compliment in the world last night:
"You look good. You look so...happy."
I replied, "I know! I am!"
There's this slight grin on my face. A hint of happiness always. Like I have this inside joke with myself that I'm not sharing with anyone. I was walking around Costa Rica with this same smirk, no not a smirk, a smirk is somewhat sarcastic. More of a faint smile, the first split second right before you smile when the ends of your mouth are just slightly upturned and going soon for that full-fledged smile. But not yet, just the constant makings of a smile. Every moment is a smile in progress.
