Any feeling or emotion is very relative to the person experiencing it and let me talk about happiness just for starters...( and as all my postings this may well go on to the main course and dessert! or may just stop short at entree ...who knows;))
This blog might be a bit different as its going to be more a sharing with myself... coincidentally thats the person who makes me happiest...

A flash of a thought at the same time..that perhaps I should not even bother to list 1...2...till wonder what number( a few thousands maybe...) and it should be just one...LIFE!
LIFE in its entirety!
Its not that I haven't had my share of lows, upheavals and hurdles...its not that I haven't lost loved ones...we all do...we all learn to cope and perhaps never heal...but thats life and living too...isnt it? Just being part of the great cosmic cycle...we do love..lose them and yet feel them spiritually always...
Its the sheer joy of being alive, loved and being able to dream...having the power and determination to be on the road to achieve your goals...and being happy there are hurdles down that path...so that I may appreciate it more...
Enjoy life while you have it...tell others you love them...dont complain..you may not have even had what you do...and just know that things change...and always for the better...because each episode comes with its wealth of learning and helping you evolve...thats the beauty of being...and being able to be the lovely person each one of us is :)
Stay happy...it takes very little and its worth every bit :)
