The moments I feel happiness...something so human and nostalgic

In my backyard, on a beautiful sunny day, I am looking at my black lab chasing a frisbee toy and I am feeling something so nostalgic.

It is the air that I felt so nostalgic.

It is the fragrance in the air that I cannot even smell but I feel something so nostalgic fragrance.

It is the brightness of the sun coming from a beautiful endless blue sky that I feel something so nostalgic.

I described in my first published novel called "At this moment, I feel happiness" that there is always something in the sky, in the air and in the natural brightness that never changes no matter how many years pass by....there is something fundamentally the same there.

When I suddenly see the sepia tone sunset illuminating the streets while I am driving, I feel awed.

There is no difference between here I am in Austin Texas 2015 feeling something so nostalgic and a bobbed hair Japanese girl in Japan mid 1970s surrounded by endless beautiful scenery feeling so joyful playing with friends.

Something fundamentally the same there....

Although a reality tells me that so many things have been changed in the past thirty years such as no more telephone booth in the street corner, instead, people talking to invisible someone while shopping at grocery stores or constantly looking down sending text message instead of walking joyfully looking straight ahead...no more.

The fundamental sameness is "sense" that we feel which makes us feel nostalgic and happy.

These are the moments that I feel so human when I feel so nostalgic....touching the air, smelling the wind, looking at endless sky.

These are the moments I feel happiness.
