Hack # 1- The Happy Place
Dear J
Life is short and unpredictable but everyday, if we step aside from the daily conundrum for just a minute & keep one memory of that day alive in our hearts, very soon we will have a bag full of moments which made us feel alive.
That's probably why mumma loves vacations. It's the time of the year to enjoy the smallest measure of life,like staring at the moon gradually go down behind the huge palms with the gentle background music of the waves hitting the shore. And then, suddenly, that moment finds a place in your heart as your happy place. This is therapy for your soul and just when you feel like the world is a horrible place, just close your eyes & go to your happy place. It will keep you going, even when mumma is not around to comfort you.
Don't let anyone fool you into believing that happiness is money in the bank or jewellery in the locker. Happiness is your collection of happy moments - it's like a little library in your heart - which you retire to as the years close. Money is just a facilitator. Because after you have felt the water on your feet in the middle of the night at the beach or seen the glorious sunrise in the mountains or cycled through paddy fields in a summer afternoon or enjoyed the vast valley view from a hillside and heard the sound of quietness, after you have taken a moment to drop the future or the past, and soak in the present, will you truly feel the meaning of happy.
Because happiness,my baby, doesn't come at an asking price.It simple wants us to be.So your happy moment could happen over a weekend getaway to the hills on a shoe-string budget, or a luxury vacation you spent a monthly salary on - but I assure you that it would never happen, if you forget to count your blessings. If you forget to enjoy the moment.If you don't let your heart drown the noise and sing it's own sweet song.
Breathe.Life is short.Make memories.Find your happy place.
Love
Mumma
