Ramblings of an idle mind

Today i found myself wondering if I was happy and if i was living or merely existing, if i was happy or content with the way my life was at this point. What is living? Is it going through the day finding an adventure in everyday, something new and fascinating, living an inspiring life, living your dream perhaps.

I think I'm simply existing, waking up to each day and going through the motions and just ending each day with a silent prayer of thanks for another day. This however doesn't mean that I don't get to appreciate the wonders of live, its complexities and priceless joys. Existing is not necessarily a bad thing though.

This means I can look back on my days with a smile and be happy about how each day turned out as I faced a new challenge or dealt with something new, I am grateful for days like this where I have friends and family who make me smile, laugh or even annoy me sometimes. I am grateful that I am able to enjoy the warm sunshine and walk barefoot in the rain.

I believe that I am content because no matter how my day ends there is always something that happened during my day that made me smile and thats what happiness is to me, to be able to smile or laugh genuinely and infect those around me with laughter.

Peace, love and happiness
