In Search of Happiness

 Today I felt that I was being pulled and stretched by different direction, by the expectation by different people around me.  My plate is full.  I could not breathe.  I called a friend and asked for oxygen.  I needed a listening ear.  One listening ear is all I need.  I am happy.  In writing this, I become more aware and conscious of the things or event or people that spark joy 

 Serendipity can spark moments of joy.  We found octopus today at the beach. I felt happy.  So much so that it covers the pain of my sunburn.  Moments of physical presence from my close friend, although we didnt speak much.  We just sat there, side by side, from 12 noon to 6 pm.  Serendipity bring moments of happiness. If only we are conscious of it.
