Happiness
Last night I had this lovely yet unexpected visit. One of my old students came to visit me with his friends and I was delighted. I think in five years this is his third visit so I was surprice. As usual he was very friendly and somehow Shy being infront of me. I am afraid , it has to do with the way we were when we first met. I will always be his teacher and so he respects that. Though , he is not my student anymore I can’t help myself thinking of him as my young student so he gets very shy about it. Well, he is a college student now and he has this friendly girlfriend that goes well with him. Both compliment each other quiet well. Opposites always attract each other ……
We were talking about old times and new studies when I went to get more drinks . To my surprice his girlfriend asked me a question , Funny because he had asked the same question the last time we talked on the internet , now it was her asking me . I wondered if he had asked her to do so….
Anyhow she asked “Are you happy??? Trully happy??? Now???? I looked at them and hesitated for a while not because I didn’t know what to say but because I wondered why they would asked me again ?????
I gave a very quick answer at that time and now I want to write about it not just for them but mostly for myself .
I think Happiness is a state of mind . I believe we make the choice to be happy when we want to.and choose to be sad in others. Pain and failure will bring sadness on the contrary laughter and wellbeing will bring happiness at least for most of us. Some of us have everything we want yet we are not happy with ourselves. So I make the conclusion that it is a state of mind .
I am happy,
I am happy for being here , alive and healthy
I am happy for I have lived and survive many years
I am happy because I have met good people
I am happy because I had an education that allows me to teach others
I am happy because I have been touched by so many in many different ways
I am happy because I have learned from mistakes and sorrow
I am happy because I have so many happy memories that keep my spirit alive
I am happy because I can still dream and hope
I am happy because I believe God loves dispite my sins and failures
I am happy because I have people who call themselves my friends
I am happy because I can still help others even without much knowledge
I am happy because I am part of a family
But most of all I am happy because God has bless me with a husband and two kids whom I adore above all
I am happy for their love and trust
I am happy because I am here at this point of my life and I am surviving and still standing no matter what.
Our lives are not always sweet and pretty sometimes life gets hard ,cold and sour but the fact that we trust God and believe in ourselves makes life worth living ……
So am I happy ???? I am but my happiness is partial because my kids are away . During Xmas I will be fully happy for they will be with me making me whole again .
Mira , Baby T thank you for asking me for you made me realized that I am ……..
