The sense of happiness

We humans have an interesting ability to tie emotions to our senses. Our 5 senses work in such an incredible way that they manage to summon up very specific feelings depending on the stimulus.

Perhaps the easiest one to begin with is sight. Seeing someone you love is a surefire way to bring up happy thoughts.

A great track does wonders for you when you're in the car waiting at the light.

I'm hungry right now, so I think the smell of a fresh waffle, with vanilla ice-cream and strawberry sauce is just perfect. So would the taste I bet.

The one thing I've yet to place is what tactile sensation would trigger happiness?... The closest thing I can think of is the feeling of sand falling between my fingers. =\
