i woke up this morning with a beautiful sunrise, and a day of sunshine ahead and it made me remember all the finer things in life which makes you smile, and one's spirit feel lighter. so i have decided to make a check list for my summer holidays, of things that make me happy, and i hope that if i am blessed enough, i will be able to experience them all again.
- making new friends, and finding out they are family life has sent your way to teach you about yourself and the world
- hearing someone say something nice about you, or receiving a compliment from a stranger
- seeing people in love, or watching a family enjoying one anothers company and feeling the love that radiates from them
- feeling confident and beautiful
- watching a sunset
- camping in nature, and waking up to the sound of little animals and birds singing
- laughing until my stomach hurts
- the feeling of falling in love for the first time (or experiencing a deeper love for someone you are already in love with)
- sitting outside and feeling the morning sunrays on my skin
the world is a beautiful, beautiful place with wonderful, kind-hearted people. sometimes we just need to learn to appreciate these things, and we will be amazed at how they will be drawn to us, and us to them. these summer holidays i am going to be able to spend a week camping in nature with my family, which i am really looking forward to. i need to learn to be more in touch with my environment, and being in nature will definately bring me closer to earth.
remember, plant your seed of happiness right now and if it needs to grow slowly, let it be, thats okay. rather be a little happier every day than too much in one day, or not at all for the whole week, which could turn into a month, then even a year. every journey starts with a single step. and happiness, it is a journey
