Relish Them Happy Days
If there is one thing I know for certain, it is this– everyday that we find ourselves free from pain, we have to suck dry the happiness that it brings.
Lately I have been watching out for those days. I’d get up every morning and assess myself; how am I feeling, do I detect any discomfort, is there any pain somewhere. More often than not, there will always be those small aches. Without meaning to, stress from all sorts of things can cause this. When I find myself saying yes to any one of these questions, I move on and just deal with it.
But there are also days when everything just seem to fit. There are no discomforts, no anxiety, and no nagging thoughts. These are my perfect days. And by God I take advantage of days like these. I go to my favorite resto and eat my favorite food, I call my friends, and I smile at everyone I meet. If possible, with the SO or a friend in tow, I go to a movie at the end of the day to celebrate the joy that the day brought me. I believe that it’s only fitting to end a really nice day on a high note.
For most of us, happiness can be very fleeting and unless we watch out for it, we’d be doomed to live our lives in constant agitation.
Living life to the fullest is the best pero it can be hard sometimes but still we strive and be strong.(:
i very much agree with you. happiness can be very fleeting. for me, sharing it with others gives more meaning to it. i am more happy when other are happy, too. it’s contagious.
erratum: when others are happy, too, i mean
I believe happiness is a decision. We choose to be happy (or sad).
kyels, life would not be very interesting if we have good times all through out. most of the time, hardships make us appreciate what we have more.
bingskee, it is indeed contagious. I would rather stare at a smiling person all day than share a room for an hour with one that’s perpetually frowning.
abaniko, indeed it is. i think the decision part usually comes during those difficult times, when you decide that no matter how shitty your day is, you tell yourself that you won’t allow it to make you sad. it’s kinda strange when you’re having a great day and then you decide to be sad.
