The Happiness Post

I only very recently realised that almost every blogger tags their posts. Except me. So I decided to start, seeing as it organises everything into neat little categories. I re-opened my last few posts and tagged them appropriately and it was while doing this that I realised how I write too often and too much about 'sadness' and 'hurt' and other non-happy things. So I decided to make this post 'The Happiness Post'. In which I'm going to write about a bunch of great things that make life worthwhile, wonderful and just plain happy!

To start with, I'm happy because I've graduated (with good marks) and am steadily settling down as a freelance writer. I updated my blogger profile today and it felt slightly strange putting 'writing' as my 'occupation' but I did feel a little shiver of excitement too. I'm a writer! No longer an 'aspiring' writer but an actual, real published-and-earning-money-from-it writer! Feels great, trust me. :)

Next, although I may not be quite known yet or earning much, I do have dreams of making it big. AND the potential to achieve them. That's a start, right?

I'm happy to have a nice family and good friends who care about me, as well as so many material possessions I often take for granted. I may not be a spoilt rich kid who gets whatever she wants when she wants it but I still get enough. A lot more than enough.

I'm happy to be healthy and have people to take care of me if I fall sick. I'm especially happy and grateful to be swine-flu free!

I'm happy that I get to live in a huge house and eat good food, that I get to go the cinema whenever I wish and can listen to almost any song or read any book I want to by downloading it or getting it from the bookstore.

Gosh, now that I'm thinking about it I'm happy about so many things. For a change, I'll shut up and let some pretty pictures do the talking instead. So here are a few things that make me happy happy happy:















There. Now I have something to look back at every time I'm feeling blue. I think I'll add some more pictures too later on.
Till then, here's to happiness! Cheers.
