In the 30 days of sharing the simple everyday things that make me happy, I learned:
1. To be very keen. To be very aware of those small details that I take for granted. A kiss from my two boys. A simple message from a distant friend that perks me up. After all, we are all very busy. I am sure we are grateful of the little things…But if we don’t stop and pause and acknowledge? We just lose it. We lose the magic.
2. My senses were looking for magic. And I see it everywhere. The key is to catch the magic!
3. How to translate the magic into pictures? That’s the challenge. For how can I convey the happiness of listening to birds chirping, or of hearing my mum’s voice over a long distance telephone call? This is when imagination and creativity kicks in.
So yes I enjoyed this exercise very much indeed. And yes I want to continue my #mgb_dailythanks and call it ~ Rediscovering Joy Habit.
Here’s the album link to my first “30 Days of Joy“.
