what does this quote mean
I'm writing an essay for english on this quote from "The Hours" :
"It had seemed like the beginng of happiness and Clarissa is still sometimes shocked more than 30 years later that it was happiness;that the entire experience lay in a kiss and a walk, the anticipation of dinner and a book"
What does it mean?
All I have is that happiness is not measured in the amount of money you make or the car you drive, but the little things that make you happy. Life flies by so fast that you never stop and realize how great the little things are.
Is that on the right track?
Thanks

this quote means that all the simple things that are everyday things make her happy and she's shocked that thats all it took to be happy .

Looking back at her past experiences, Clarrissa is astounded by the fact that such small, simple things caused her to be happy. She realizes that her happiness was very fragile and could have been broken at any moment, and it likely makes her wonder if the happiness was really genuine.
