When I feel sad, I simply remember my favorite things…
My favorite things
Raindrops on roses and window,
Bright copper kettles, Crisp red apples,
Brown paper packages tied up with jute strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream colored pastries with bright cherries,
Doorbells, cow bells, and birds that fly with the moon on their wings.
Little girls in white dresses with cute hairclips,
Silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Little things are responsible for our happiness. We call them little things because they happen to us every day and we tend to let them pass unnoticed. But these happy thoughts are responsible for our happiness. When we smile or when someone smiles to us, it fills our hearts with happiness. It is very easy to smile and because of that we think it´s not so important or as big.
We came to think that only the things we struggle for are important. That is not correct. We are happy holding the loved one in our arms, with the smell of rain on soil, the smell of plantation, smell of fresh baked cookies, dew drops on grass blade, smiling face of a kid, dinner with family. Happiness is in the meaning of the things, not in the things themselves.
Here is where the happiness is!
Wishing everyone all the happiness they deserve.
