Things That Make Me Happy ( A BC Bloggers Meme )

For some happiness, is a state of mind . It can be a place where you can just be yourself without a care in the world. Some people find it elusive while others still do not know what it is. Wether it is a fleeting fancy or an infectious thing, happiness is real. You cannot  find what you're looking for unless you search for it.

Below are just some of  the things that make me happy :

1. Listening to my kids' laughter.

2. Sharing stories with my mom and being grateful that she had chosen to move on in spite of all  the challenges she had been through. 

3. Writing and getting comments from readers even from other parts of the world that they like what they read.

4. Music.

11. Watching my awesome nephew make a name for himself in Philippine Basketball wether live at the hard court or on television.

12. Keeping in touch with my relatives by just a simple message on facebook.com.

13. Seeing my kids' initiative to be independent including making simple decisions for themselves.

14. Getting a gift from my aunt who is also my godmother at the age of forty and seeing her usual greeting, " How are you  Sarah ?"
