My! Oh My!! Was busy with the 2016 Happiness Calendars. I am on the tail-end of this year's project and so I find myself in a good place and time, writing again.
Since I have no other boss but God who does not breathe down my nape and does not demand my full time and attention (or so I thought), I had to take on a task that will make me labour and toil and stretch my little and narrow brain in all sides and proportions. So the object of building just one classroom out there in a typhoon stricken area, crossed my mind, through my art.
This is the second year. Far from my target of 1.8M, I am however, very much on the happiness spot or h-spot! It Is the journey as they say and not much on the destination but while i am not yet there, I am enjoying the view.
The long and challenging climb has allowed me to see and experience friends- rediscovering friends and making new ones. Most of them have stretched a limb to help or should I say, created a room in their hearts to help, a few decided to stay away from me. Sad but if they only knew that all it takes is a No and an honest heart, then there is no way to hide and play possum. I have friends who just watched and followed the day to day status, and I still loved them. They are part of my journey. Everyone who heard and listened, saw and followed, took me for a ride or doubted my integrity, are part of this whole thing; believe it or not.
I am glad that there is only great joy in what I am doing and nothing can burst this rainbow bubble!
After all, happiness is right where there is sadness, disappointment, betrayal, loss and emptiness. It is the opportunity we create for ourselves to go beyond our speed, strength and faith that will give us a ray of sunshine, the early morning rain, and the feeling of warmth and light inside.
Taken right from where I am.
