I feel sad. Just needing to remember happiness today. Revisiting a blog I made awhile back. I'm not afraid of being alone but this week kind of felt lonely. On these days, it is nice to remember the simple pleasures in life. Happiness is truly a choice, as most of the things that matter. Sharing with you my Happy Bucket List:
1. Spending time with a friend, talking about life.
2. Listening to a good song especially from the Beatles (never fails to make me feel better, I really don't know why.)
3. Eating spaghetti (all kinds, sour Italian, sweet Pinoy, Old Spaghetti House recipe, Jollibee)
4. Eating Curly Tops
5. Drinking vanilla coffee or chai latte in an earthen mug (yes my friends, coffee tastes better in a mug. I especially like it when the pottery is so beautiful, I want to take it home)
6. Writing a blog :)
7. Reading a good book in bed
8. Watching inspiring films like Walt Disney. Watching movies in theaters even on my own.
9. Browsing inside a bookstore or admiring paintings and photographs in an art gallery. Learning new things.
10. Walking without a preconceived destination and discovering something delightful along the way. Running.
11. Going to a GK village in the province.
12. Riding the bus to the province or the city train and looking outside; also cheesy as it may sound, looking at the stars in the sky.
Ah, happy quiet.
How about you? What makes you happy? Whether it be cooking, playing the guitar, diving, preparing for a marathon, spending play time with the kids, a movie date with your loved one, I hope you make the time for it. I realized that if you are content within yourself, you find more love to give to others. I guess, it is true that loving yourself in a healthy way, translates to loving others in a better way too. Take care and God bless! :)
Okay I feel better now. Time to take a walk...
