Pursuit of happiness

The strong coffee in the morning gives me the kick and wakes me up. Sometimes brings me back to reality and I think that maybe, the energy is all, chemical induced as it starts to wear off! But sometimes the reason of high gets blurred, especially when my midday coffee remains untouched on the table and I get a happy high looking at my hard earned eureka moments at work! That sets just another day apart from the special days. That’s called happiness.

Sometimes when taking the bus in a hurry to meet friends in the city on a Friday evening, I have to stop and miss the bus to slow down to help an elderly person on a wheelchair cross a hurdle on the way. The best part is, when I stop and slow down for a second in doing that gesture, I lose all the anger of missing the bus and the anxiety to reach my destination on time. It feels like someone has pumped in a shot of “Relaxation” into my veins! That’s a flush of happiness much better compared to the expensive, classy, loud happiness awaiting in the café downtown!

Happiness is when I am automatically assumed to do the right thing

Happiness is when I can inform my single elderly neighbor that I found her lost cat

It feels great when the fog has finally cleared and things are looking up. But after enjoying the heavenly bloated feeling acquired from all those appraisals, a quiet walk down the street on a sunny afternoon after an early ride off on a Wednesday afternoon is what I call pure happiness. After days of rainy cold weather, the sun finally comes out and shines on me, as if approving of my happiness with the warmth, just when I thought that I didn’t have someone to share the feeling with!

Happiness is when I find the perfect movie to watch on a lazy Saturday morning after an alarmless waking up in mid morning!

The side effects of living alone are not as much as living with unwanted roommates. But sometimes one can get really lonely during a sleepless night with no one to be around to talk to or share strange thoughts with! Just then, finding a piece of perfect meditation music on youtube and the moonlight shining through my bedroom window brings the perfect company and that is what I call happiness! Sometimes it even encourages to pick up the book I have meaning to read for ages!

All that silence in the one bedroom apartment is not all that scary! They say one’s eyes can get used to darkness, and so can one’s soul! Like any normal human being, my hormones get a chance to dance the dance of a raving moody woman venting out pangs of depression out of nowhere, but not long after comes the peace like dawn after a raging storm! That forces some soul searching which brings on the age coupled with calming wisdom! That is peaceful happiness!
