The feeling of contentment
Less or no worries, feeling grateful
Able to see everything in a beautiful light
Letting it go and just embracing the good of life
Smiling so beautifully that a sad face could never fit
Being myself, being real and being simply happy!
I'm no good at poetry or creative writing but I felt too excited not to begin with those words lol, I'm hoping they gave a bit about how I feel when I'm happy. Happiness is the only free thing that a lot of people still try to pay for because they lack ways to make themselves happy, too sad.
For some like myself, we let even the simplest of things to get us excited and that is in itself a blessing one should be grateful for. I love God, I love life, I love myself and I love my family... More than too many reasons to be happy all my life.
I think I've given out what makes me happy already but there are those little activities I engage with the purpose to boost my mood when life tries to be hard to me or bring me lemonades to make lemon with them. It's expected as humans that we would have our sad days, we need such days to appreciate our happy days more, so I've always thought.
While we do not pray for our sad days to be long, I've tried to figure out ways that would help shorten such days when they come. Since I can't avoid unforeseen sad situations, I could help myself by remembering the good things of life and becoming happy my own way.
It's no surprise some people go into depression or become sad very often, sometimes we just find it hard to be happy regardless but when we do find something exciting, it is a different and better feeling anyone would want to keep. I found mine and here are a few of them.
The simple act of watching my favourite kinds of movies or listening to my favourite song Playlist could get me thinking all positive and being happy to be alive to experience such. I've always seen movies and music as an escape route when things seem tough for me and they never disappoint so long I choose the right ones to see or listen to.
Hearing good or exciting news about my family, watching them grow or get together in love, simply spending time and being part of them makes me happy and this is one thing that can't be bought, family! I can still remember the euphoric feeling when we sing or go to church services together as a family.
I'll be lying if I say I don't feel much happiness when I get paid for my hardwork, money is another thing that makes me happy. The credit alerts, spending time on Hive not only for the beautiful connections I've made, dreaming of a time I'll be doing one of the best jobs out there and earning just enough to bring my family to financial freedom. All these makes me happy.
Lastly but not the least, the simple act of watching nature in any form makes me happy. Achieving little and big things even without plans, makes me happy too. There are like a thousand things that gets me excited but I'll stop here and go continue being happy hehe.
This is my entry to the July Inleo Prompt Challenge with Day 14 focus on "Things that make you happy". Don't know what to write on Hive today? You're invited to participate.
