20 Things I Feel Happy About

October 12, 2017 Add Comment Edit

I have written this list back in the days when I was still working out of the country and feeling happy and contented with what I had. Months after resigning, I am in this position in my life where I am again questioning my purpose and my contentment in life. I was wondering where it went and why I let it flew away like that. I don't want to think that I made some not quite good decisions in the past few months. I really don't want to blame myself. I believe that everything happened for a reason.

So here I am right now, refreshing the memories and the feelings of happiness and contentment.

************************************

These past few weeks, I've got nothing but full of gratefulness with what is happening in my life right now. So I decided to list down the things that I feel happy about.

I've listed this one out compulsively. So these are the ones that came to my mind right away.

1. Family

2. Trees/Flowers/Nature

3. Long walk outdoors

4. A cup of hot chocolate

5. A bar of chocolate

6. Movie marathon

7. A good sleep

8. Chirping birds

9. Lechon/Roasted Pork

10. A new book

11. writing my thoughts

12. sunrise/sunset

13. tropical fruits

14. starting a new project

15. a quite morning

16. a smile

17. trying out a new food

18. friends

19. solitude

20. love

See, nothing much to make yourself happy, right? I just wonder why people go for too much when having less is fine.

I have come to a realization that what I feel happy about back then are the things that I seldom have. Now, I almost feel and see it every day. I am now with my family, trees and the flowers are everywhere, birds wake me up in the morning and now, I have time. So, why I am in this state in life that, again, I feel discontentment. Maybe, that's life isn't it? Never ending search for things and what-nots to fill up our never ending cravings of something to give us content and give us peace. We are sure hard to please, aren't we?
