I often wondered why we feel so lothesome and sad sometimes.1
The good news which is a double includes the facts that:2
One: we aren't always sad, so we feel sad sometimes3
Two: When we aren't sad we could be happy.4
Put these two together, and lo ! We have another reason to be happy!5
We anyway, I feel happy for many reasons some of which I can state here:6
1- That I live a wholesome life ( have a family, parents and people to care for and who care for me)7
2- I love my son and wife, and am very happy to see them smile and feel good8
3- When a baby face smiles at me I feel happy, because the face of God has smiled within the innocence of the child9
4- When I see baby animals: be it piglets, Squirrels, birds, even the common house lizards baby is a cute and lovely thing to behold10
5- When I or anyone I love accomplishes something good, I feel happy11
6- When I eat a refreshing dish made by my dear wife I feel happy12
7- When I see the salary credit in my bank statement I feel happy13
8- The experience of flight (aeroplane) through clouds, high above the ground, over the seas and into the mountains makes me happy14
9- I am happy if I could reduce the misery of someone else even in the smallest way15
10- I am happy to see my home town (once in a year) as I stay far away16
11 I feel happy when I meet my childhood friends and relate stories to each other17
12 I feel happy to see comedies and cartoons with my son, as we laugh our heads of even at the stupidiest slapstick actions18
and so on...19
Frankly, I feel that it would be easier to write the few things that make me unhappy or sad. Anyway happiness overturns all sorrows even if in small and seemingly insignificant packets.20
