Happy Moments

Apart from the regular work routine, nice things have been happening this week.

The cat broke in and greeted me good morning twice this week. I think he knows when I go to work, as he has been visiting 5 minutes before I have to leave.

A former colleague got in touch to say hi and wants to touch base this weekend. I’m looking forward to see her. She taught me a lot about motivation and self belief. I’m grateful that although we aren’t colleagues now, she still thinks of me and my family and wants me to succeed in my pursuits.

Tonight I went through the night market at the mall on the way to my lesson, and the guy at the crystal stand stopped me in my tracks. “Hey you, here’s a crystal that broke in two. I can’t sell it but I want someone to have it.” I’m going to call that my first birthday present. Nice :)

I received an annual progress report for my sponsor child in Brazil. It was such a nice surprise! Came with some cool texta art too

On the weekend I wandered into a shop I visit whenever I’m in that area. The lady remembered me and said the nicest thing. She remembered the details of a conversation we had several months ago, and she also said of all the people that come through her shop, she remembers me. She said I give off some sort of peaceful vibe that she could feel in the shop before she even looked up and saw it was me. I couldn’t believe I would have such a positive impact on someone, I was rather moved that she expressed it in such a beautiful way

sent me an email to let me know her friend was going to be in town, and wants to know if she can pass my details to her. It was a really lovely email, and touched me to know how valuable my friendship was to her, even though we haven’t caught up for quite a while.

I gave my friend a bunch of flowers for her birthday, and she told me she has never been given flowers before, ever. Making her happy made me happy :)

I went to the zoo and had a really fun time. I love walking around and looking at all the beautiful animals. I do feel sorry from them though. Taken out of their natural habitats, put on display.

Unfortunately while they were doing some construction, not all animals were on display. And the animal I most wanted to see, the red panda (which I have long considered one of the most beautiful animals ever) was up a tree and all that could be seen was part of its bushy tail hanging down.

I love animals and had a wonderful time at the zoo. I would have to say the prairie dogs and the squirrel monkeys were my favorites. It left me and the boyfriend tired and afterwards we came back to the apartment and we fell asleep with me wrapped in his arms. Definitely the best way to sleep.

Went down to the beach yesterday with the boyfriend. We sat under a tree in the shade reading books and then just walked along the beach. The ocean was beautiful, it was a beautiful day, I like the birds, and I also enjoyed just watching all the people there.

I’m using this goal just to list things that make me happy. I used to do the list three things every day that made me happy and I sometimes list happy moments under the post randomly goal. But I want a space that I can just write in when I am happy and that is what this goal will be for me.
