On the way to finding happiness
peddling towards our goals, our dreams, our hopes-
Focusing ahead,
Taking note of the route,
Twist, turns, vistas and downhill slides,
admiring what others have carved out on their path.
Then wondering if that is something we too should be doing?
Isn’t it easy to be distracted from our essence, from our own journey – from happiness?
I remind myself that
Gratitude is happiness.
To recenter my focus on what is in front of me,
to listen
to see
to be aware of the richness of the ordinary day.
or as Gabriel asks us after he does something or when he sees us doing something,
"Are you happy?"
___
In the pursuit of happiness,
I am re-learning from Gabriel and Olivia-
That nothing is mundane, nor ordinary, that life is an amazing wonderland. Especially, if I keep my sense of curiosity.
