The Little Things Light Up Her Heart & Soul
Some people think happiness is elusive they have to chase it. She on the other hand learned through experience that it is readily available to anyone. The adage "mababaw lang ang kaligayahan nya" (she is easily pleased or her happiness is shallow) is true to her in the real sense because the little things make her cheerful and smiling deep within - i.e. sunshine, holding hands with her one and only, the birds chirping, a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, her favorite bread, food on the table, a tidy room, a warm hug, and even seeing herself in the mirror.
Allow her a good night's sleep and her soul will be delighted just as spending time with her few friends and loved ones and laughing, teasing, or simply reminiscing memories of days old make her heart bursting with joy.
Would you believe even a kiss from her Anyongi, seeing him peacefully sleeping, playing his little antics, or throwing tantrums make her giddy? Aah, her days and nights are filled with many of those. The below photo for example shows him under the computer desk sulking one afternoon because she pretended not to let him sit on her lap. Seeing him with such an expression made her laugh until her tummy ached. She could not stop hugging him afterward.
Most often, what makes her feel blissful is intangible and doesn't cost a penny. Like watching, goofing, or even just catching a glimpse of the sunset.

The gifts of nature - a warm day, blue sky, trees, grass, a bud or a blooming flower, flowing water, shadows, mountains, reflections, and rainbows lift her spirit and make her feel alive, connected, and hopeful.
Yes, it doesn't take much for her to be grateful and happy. Even the mundane and routine stuff they do at home makes her feel euphoric. Just like today where they enjoyed playing with their little guy, nibbling on their favorite snacks, snuggling in bed, taking a nap, and yes, watching not one but two films - the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and FF10. They are thankful for their personal space and freedom.
But wait, what does she say about being happy anyway?
She would not define it in words or phrases but it's like having that positive vibrant energy that makes her soul light up, hence it is easy to smile, giggle, or laugh. It's feeling good almost effortlessly and enjoying whatever she sees or does (without thinking about this or that).
As she ages, she realizes she is naturally growing happier. She easily foregoes things or situations that make her mood down and focuses on those that make her heart glow. She's also more appreciative of the little things, conversations, and silence, and puts time into creating memories, exploring places, learning, and nurturing her relationships. It's a way of life.
What makes her soul glow is not from afar. It is already in her midst — family, friends, places, food, ice cream, memories, nature. Almost everything around her makes her joyful. Not to forget this blockchain contributes to that as well.😉
Thank you and this little story was inspired by today's topic on the July INLEO initiative.

Thank you. Enjoy your Sunday and happy new week as it comes
Indeed little things light up her heart 💙and soul
Yes to that :D
Happiness is when you feel contented with what you have and appreciate it.😊
Same here po, my happiness is just shallow and doesn't need too much effort. Mabigayan lang ng pera, ayos na. 😁😁
Being with family and loved ones is the wealth and happiness of our lives.😊😊
Haha, pera talaga oh 😂 Shallow daw, lol!
Joking aside, true yun, appreciating what we have, and being grateful give birth to more 😊

It's great that you think the same way :) Big things also help, lol! But yeah, the little things that we usually take for granted are usually the ones that give us immense joy when we learn how to appreciate them.
Well said FG !PIZZA

I think as we age we don't give a fluff about so many thing that hampered happiness...
Who cares if you don't have the newsest Cybertruck the newest Jordans or the biggest house on the street.
Nature is free and the best pleasure of all! Mind you we are doing our best to destroy that too!
She must be happy CJ!
I agree, Tito Ed. Thanks to growing older for opening our eyes :)
Sadly, we are doing that indeed...
Glad you agree CJ!
Happy #lpud and have a cracking new week

We are glad to have you in our community. 💗
We loved what you wrote us today, and your photos are spectacular. No doubt, it is not necessary to wait for a specific month, an ideal place, to feel happiness. We can have it regularly with what we have, wherever we are. Of course, it won't be permanent, for now. But every day we will be learning it more and more. 😍

Thank you so much 🌹
Simply beautiful. Your words seem so connected to the essence of life. They are profound yet simple enough to touch the heart. Would you believe that right now I'm watching Aquaman? While my cat sleeps peacefully next to me, without leaving my side. I wish you a good week. Nice to read you 💟
Thank you so much and I'm glad you find it that way. What a coincidence that you were watching Aquaman :) Hope you enjoyed it as you also watched your cat snooze beside you ❤️
Have a pleasant new week :)

Being happy sometimes depends on the perspective we have over things. And being grateful even in the smallest thing that we have can literally make us happy.
You are right, I resonate with this too, what makes us happy is often what money cannot buy, beautiful skies, family and friends.
A show of contentment, being happy with whatever we have, whether small or little
She will not let anything to take away her positive energy always
