Happiness

1. Baby boy – I know my son is growing up and will soon be a teenager but for me, he will always be my baby.
2. Hubby- I’m sorry honey. Please don’t tell him that he is second on my list!
3. Family- My immediate family will always be in my top 3. (Unlike my son who thinks I am number four to his gadgets and dogs! Seriously?)
4. Me time- I have relished work from home because it allows me to spend so much time by myself, in peace. I am happier away from people and have almost cut off myself from relationships because of this. Yet, to be perfectly honest, I am more content and not needing anything at all. I’m no sure if this is good or bad.
5. Books- I have always loved to read and have been an avid reader since I was 9 years old. I haven’t stopped till now.
6. Food and cooking- It may sound weird and most of my old friends have reacted because they know I didn’t cook. But now I find joy in the food I prepare and glow when people complement the good taste of my labors. I used to just enjoy eating now the process of creating food has got me hooked.
7. Beach- Living in a tropical country, the beach is always within reach. I can see it daily and beautiful view does not fail to soothe me. But what I love most is sleeping near the beach and hearing the waves crash to the shore. Heaven!
8. Coffee- I used to be a huge coffee drinker but now I even tolerate decaf. Haha! I am no longer such a snob but I will never, ever resist a good brew.
9. Bread- I loooooovveee bread! I would live without rice but not bread-especially the freshly baked ones. Ugh!
10. Friends- I think that friends add to your life. I don’t have a lot of friends right now and that is by choice. But the ones I do have, I’m grateful for. I have limited my circle but I am content with those in there. They are an eclectic mix of personalities and I am at home with each one of them.

**I did not include God in my happiness because He is my joy. He keeps me grounded, less anxious and peaceful even when my job is stressing me out. Everything else in my life right now is going well but work is keeping me on my toes. Nevertheless, I am confident I will make it because I know He’s got my back.

I pray you will also have someone or something to believe in. It makes for a happier life and you will always be secure in the knowledge that a plan has been laid out for your life. All you have to do is enjoy the ride!
