Happiness is….
Finishing my book! Need I say more? Oh yes, yes, yes, I’ve finished!
:-D :-D :-D
No one has read it yet, but even so I just need to stew in this moment of completion. Please let me sit here in happiness. It feels so good…
(fist pump!)
I actually did it!

Happiness Is.... #9
Happiness Is....
(Like I promised....)
Having a sister like mine. If everyone had a sister like mine, there would be no war in this world. Because she would talk them out of it. Because that's what mine did with me yesterday. She is truly the brightest star there is. :)
And she's MY sister :):):)

Reading back your writing, from yesterday, last week, last month or even last year, and smiling in happiness. The smile that means 'contentment' 'satisfaction' 'joy' and 'pleasure' in reviewing your own work.
That, for an aspired writer (never mind aspriring writer, I'm the King of the Jungle in astrology for pete's sake - by the way who is pete??) is absolute gold. So rewarding. The feeling of love just rises up from inside.
:):):)

The best compliment of the year coming from a 9 year-old boy, my nephew. After all, you can't get any more honest than with kids, right?
Playing a game with him on his computer a couple of days ago, I was to help him combine elements to create something else. Hard to explain, but anyway, long story short, on my first go I said to him "pick this, and this."
He clicked both, and the combination of treeant came up. I had just fluked creating a treeant.
He gaped at the computer, turned to me and said in awe "You are epic."
I laughed so hard. That was absolutely, positively, the best thing I've heard in ages. Best compliment ever.
Still smiling now :)

Shopping with your best buddies. Walking around a shopping centre aimlessly, not necessarily buying anything but nontheless window-dreaming and thinking big. Talking about a random multitude of subjects because hey, that's what old friends do. They are never at a loss for words.
The conversation is about people, places, things; everything. Somehow it turns to books. And I say to Blonde teasingly, in reference to her inability to complete reading an entire book (she much rather prefers shopping) "When I finish my book, Red can read it and then tell you all about it."
I say this quite seriously even though I'm teasing. I'm under no false pretences about her choice of activites. I'm giving her a 'get out of jail free' card.
Immediately she turns to me: it's an instantaneous reaction. "No, I'M going to read it!" I laugh.
A few minutes pass before I realise how valuable her reaction to my statement was. I tell her and we laugh again.
I love it. I love my friends. Red and Blonde are the best. Their support to me in my creative endeavours is incredible. I love them for wanting to read my book because they want to. And I love them for wanting to read my book even more, even though it may not be the first preference of sparetime activity they would normally choose.
Cherish your true friends :)

Striving towards your dreams. Living out your passions. Imagining the incredible.
Nothing is better than the moment you start taking small steps towards reaching what was previously thought of as impossible. Once you start the cycle of passion, nothing can stop you. The excitement at each small step you take, regardless of how minor, provides ammunition in itself: your attempts at tasks you undertake fuel you forward.
That's what it takes, baby steps. All good things come, in time. However the insurmountable joy is instant. That you begin to feel as soon as you begin your journey. And the spectacular thing is, nothing else matters. The joy that emanates from following your dreams, is all the reward you need. And that realisation, that knowledge, leads to MAGIC.
Last night I finished the first chapter of my book. :-D

Being happy in this present moment, because you will never be in this place again. Be content in where you are, satisfied with how you've come here and blessed in knowing that you have everything now that you could possibly have. You are meant to be here.

Discovering that one of my best friends, Blonde, has bought a 'star' (yes those in the night sky) for Hubbie and I, in our name. Dated on the day we got married.
Can't help but sigh. This is the stuff we shoot to the stars for. (giggle).
Honestly though, she moved me to tears. I feel utterly blessed to have the most amazing women in my life. Mum, Sis, Red and Blonde. My Women. My Inspiration.

Watching the sunset go down, on a balmy summer night. Sipping your champagne, watching your new dress flap about in the mild breeze of impending twilight. Hearing the voices and laughter of your family and friends around you. Thinking "Ahh, this is the life."
