Hello friends, how are you all? I hope everyone is doing great. I am fine by the grace of God. I am here to write a blog today. I have been writing about my diary game and travel diary and also entered a few contests over the past few months. But now I felt like I could try something new. I would like to write a journal entry. You can say it’s going to be just me rambling about something or sharing my thoughts about something or simply just sharing a story. So I hope you guys will read my post, and hopefully I will keep writing and try to make a little more sense out of what I write.

Ever wondered if you are truly happy? What is happiness? Doesn’t it feel like a million dollar question? Haha yes it does seem like a tough question to answer, well At least for me. Some say money gives us happiness. Some feel that even though there is lack of money, happiness can still be achieved. For some it might be materialistic things. And maybe it might also mean Mental peace 🧘.

Very often we find ourselves chasing happiness. So that implies that currently, where we are at, we are not able to find happiness. A lot of things happen in our lives every second, every minute, every hour, every day. Sometimes I’m just confused. What is it that one should do to be happy? As in “happy, happy” {with the air quotes}. During the journey, we find a lot of different opportunities to do a lot of different things. Some things we do do give us happiness, while some things may just cause us pain. At that moment, maybe what would be helpful is to acknowledge that we’re happy and be grateful for everything that we have. At this point it’s safe to say that overthinking is quite common these days, especially with me; it’s a bit more. 😆.

What happens is that sometimes we get so engrossed in the things that are not going our way that we forget to take the time to think and reflect on the situation which is actually benefitting us or something which is good for us. Today, I attended evening mass in church. I had gone with my mom, who throughout the day was just after me to get there early. That’s a different story 😆, but yes, we got there way early. We were there 30 minutes before the mass actually started. As soon as I entered, the aunty who was in charge of the lectors asked me whether I would do a reading. I said, Okay, yes, I will do it, to which she replied, “Good girl!”" Honestly speaking, I hadn’t read in like some 2 years, so I always used to avoid it, but since I was with my mom and we reached early, I guess it was an opportunity for me to do it. When we entered the church, my mom started saying, See, it’s good that we came to church early; you got an opportunity to read. I thought to myself how different her point of view was from the same situation. We immediately went inside and sat at our bench. We prayed to God and attended the Sunday Mass.

Although, the pursuit of happiness goes on and on. But what we need to ultimately find is happiness and peace in everything that we do. What is really important is creating happiness in whatever we have and do. I guess all we need to do is, fill ourselves with gratitude for everything that we have. Well here I come to the end of my journal. I will be back soon. Thank you for reading my post 😊🙏🏽.
