A reflective question in a world that can be filled with such negativity that we can forget that question… I was brought up in a strict household that told me what that was, I have figured out that as an adult I have my own personal answer.
I’m not a religious person, but I am a thought-proving person, always something on my mind to say… putting pen to paper.
There are so many books that are “self-help” for diets, anxiety, illness etc, they all have a place as they provide information that is useful, but does it make us happy?
“happiness”
What makes someone happy? Is there a secret to it? Is it based on money? Is it based on power? Is it based on circumstances?
“There is no secret”
If there was a secret we would all be happy. Who doesn’t want to be happy is the question I ponder tonight.
I know for myself I believe happiness in being courageous in the toughest of times. Being able to smile because your best friend has made you laugh. Waking up each morning and knowing that it is full of ‘surprises’ that happened that made me laugh or cry.
“my best friends, Cat and Kuga bear”
The people in my life are the ones that keep me focussed and pull me into line when I need it. Having 3 friends since I was 13 is pretty damn lucky, 1 sister and 2 brothers. New ones then have come in my life, I can’t help but be thankful for that. We need a reality check I believe as life does get crazy, we get focussed on day to day living, that we forget the small things.
Did you ring your friend tonight? Did you send a text; just to say hi? It’s the thought that counts.
I have many reasons to make me smile, friends, university, my beloved dog, the memories of my late papa. I just forget to count my blessings and not my worries. Life is what it is, don’t get me wrong, I get it! All I want to say in this reflective post is what my friend Rohan gave me for my birthday
