Never Would See Myself Saying it, BUT #STEEMIT Makes me Happy! It Feels Like a FAMILY! #steemitfamily!

It’s the little things that make us happy. When we just choose to notice those little things we realise how happy we could be every day. For example, tonight (it's 1 am in Riga) it's the discover of #steemit that really made my night! As I mentioned in my #introduceyourself post I am quite new in blogging sphere and got truly excited about it just recently. Now I am a newbie in #steemit and realise that blogging could be EVEN MORE EXCITING with #STEEMIT! I love this "gamification" element (I mean payment) that really drives people to be active, friendly, responsive! It feels like a family here!
And that is why I am truly thrilled and excited, actually HAPPY tonight and staying up late, that I haven't done for a really long time!

But if we speak of other things that make us happy, than for me it usually is some sun on a sunny day!

I remember when at school my classmates often discussed their favourite season of the year. And me – I just felt awkward because every time I realised that I do not have one – the favourite season, I just felt that something is wrong with me as “everybody” have their favourite season they are eagerly waiting for. From that time I decided to listen to myself and try to figure out which is my favourite season after all. I started to explore myself and this gave me many moments of serenity and happiness.
After some years of experimenting and listening to myself I realised that not only every season has a spare space in my heart, but even all the possible weather conditions. Sometimes I was in mood for a sunny day, sometimes for a rainy. There were moments when I blessed a heavy rain, but were other when I wanted to have a walk under the drizzling rain. Snow, frost and heat, wind, snowstorm, even mud - there is a mood for all the possible weather, and when it comes in the right time it makes me happy. Each type of happiness is different, sometimes quite special and unique, not always the happy-smile-happiness, but still happiness.

Having experienced all those different feelings, I understood that I feel most elevated when the sun is out there. No matter what mood I had before, when I have a walk in a sunny day I feel like I am the happiest person in the world. These are the days when I fell in love with life and with myself over and over again. These are the days when I never fail to appreciate everything I have in my life, to remember those even distant people who matter to me, I am thankful for literally every second of my life, and this feeling turns out to be so important in our rush of everyday life.

The important thing is that after experiencing this emotional state several times I’ve learnt to evoke this state even without sun and disregarding any mood I had at the beginning. I just start remembering how it felt in the sunny days, keep smiling and thinking about the good things, and then it happens – I feel the warmth inside me, the unconditional happiness, the feeling of love and gratitude. Then I myself become a sun, which is able not only to warm itself, but also to bring peace and happiness to the hearts of others, and that is what really matters.

But today, really, my sun is #steemit, cause even at night I feel as if it's a really bright sunny day!
Thank you all for such experience!!!
I LOVE it here!
