Happy Moments in My Life

I just read that people tend to focus on different things in life, and which in turn makes him a happy person, a sad/negative person or a neutral person. When I examine myself, I find that I do have the tendency to look at dark side of things: the society, human nature and I have always been pessimistic about life, about human's future.

well maybe it is time to change a bit and let me start from listing what makes me happy, excited in my life.

1. Easiest one: when I watch my kittens, playing, eating, or just sleeping, I feel so contend and happy, I can even feel the tenderness of my heart. I am happy that they are happy and healthy, I am happy that I am able to provide them a happy life as best as I can. The thought that they would grow old with me makes aging an enjoyable process.

2. I like sharing my thoughts with real friends, whether online or in person. I mean people I respect and like, people with whom I have some common interests, people who have their unique insight into life or any subject. It is rare to meet such friends in life now because as I am growing old, I no long have the passion or interest to meet new people. It is actually much easier to meet people online if you know what you what to talk about, pets, sports, marriage, you can always find people at certain bbs have similar intersts. and I am amazed or touched at people's personal stories and insight into an issue.

3. I love the feeling of achievement, either a small task that was accomplished by my own planning, research and implementation. or at a social event, my talent or capacity are recognized by a group of people. I used to be not care that much about others oponion simply because I taken many things for granted, even any achievement. it is a dangerous thought and gets me into an arrogant person. I am glad I realized that again.

4. I enjoy the moments when I am closest to the mother nature, life seems so simple, quiet and nothing worries me at that time. When I was younger, I frequently had the idea of travelling to a place where nobody knows me and that would truely relax or liberate me. why is that? Is it because I don't like complicated relationships or involvement with people, which really gives me headache. and I was afraid to be hurt or I choose to escape?

5. Although career wise I am not a ambitious person, I still enjoy the social context to interact with people. that is why I find I can't be a full-time house wife, it probably will drive me crazy at certain moments. but who knows, I may enjoy to be a stay-at-home mum.
