Have you ever wondered how much time has passed since your last moment of happiness?
I have asked myself many times about what makes us happy and why does it always look like we have to go through a lot of misery to be able to find a short moment of happiness…
It’s been 2 years since I last was truly happy…..I had a few moments of true happiness in my life….but those few moments just kept me going for a long time,they fed me the strength I needed to survive the daily sadness,when I feel like a robot….
What makes me happy?
Oh well…..the seaside is one of the things that brings me joy….watching the waves,keeping my feet on the sand while the waves wash the sand from under my feet(it gives you that nice feeling of floating and instability,that feeling that produced the saying ”swept of my feet”)…
Sometimes I forget where I am when I am looking towards the horizon and catch in my sight, what looks like, the entire seaside….I forget about time and everything becomes still…
I’m happy when I am drinking good red wine,preferably Merlot,while listening to Chet Baker and smoking a Cuban.
I am happy when I am walking in the park with somebody I like….and he holds my hand…making me feel as If I were the only woman in his life….
I love a kiss in the morning when the Sun comes up or that kiss which takes the salty sea water of your shoulder or lips when it touches them…..
I love being in love with life…it’s the only one that never deceives you…
I am happing when I am bathing under hot summer Sun …I am happy when I am preparing the Christmas tree,while my mother is baking Christmas cakes….that smell of fir tree mixed with the smell of home made cookies makes me extremely happy,it brings me back to childhood when all the things were so simple….I ate,I played and I slept….not worrying about tomorrow …
I am happy when the rain comes down on my face after a hot summer day….I am happy when I am floating on my back while looking at the sky,when I am keeping my ears under the water(being able to hear my own heart beating)….I am happy when I am looking up towards the sky while laying down on the fresh cut mountain grass.
Whenever I feel sad I think of all the above and many more…and that keeps me going!
Find your happy spot and make sure you go there every time you feel sad or depressed, whenever you feel like you can’t do it anymore….
What makes you happy?
