Waking up is waking up. Spending time with people is spending time with people. Going out is going out, etc. To say that these things are spirituality is plain wrong (in the sense that is meant in this topic), or maybe this can be properly countered.
That's rather harsh. Especially since you asked "What is spirituality?" - you cannot then go around determining what other people's sense of spirituality may feel like.

Many people experience a sense of spiritual well-being in these familiar, yet wondrous moments. Indeed, the sense of wonder evoked by moments in life can often be the beginning of a belief that there is something more, something indefinable that blesses us and enhances our lives. It can be the beginning of the search for the spirit.

Even atheists can experience these extraordinary, ordinary moments that uplift. They can be very mundane - a sense of the spiritual does not have to be all angelic fanfares and miraculous risings from the grave. It can be the sense of wonder at a flower, a child's laugh, a long-forgotten but evocative fragrance. These small things can bring us to question life and its meaning, either through faith, reason or just the search for more happiness.
