HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE

I dropped my son off to school and entered my house and saw everything scattered as always i started arranging the cushionsand came accross one cushion which i might have seen many times but never thought about it.It says 'happiness is homemade,yes and i read it again.It means we are creators of our own happiness, than depending on others to make us happy.Happiness lies within us.And truly like everything else being happy also requires efforts.

So What is happiness from a personal perspective? It varies from person to person. Like for many it means to see your kid grow or share a cup of tea with a dear friend. Like for me its as silly as  dancing in my house with my son and serving my dear husband dosa on Saturdays..

Best part about it is that its not constant and keep changing with time place etc or it can be as fatuous as  just snuggling up with your pet, getting your hands soiled and see something grow, making art with your own hands no matter how bad it turns out to be or the little moments which you love to capture sometimes either with your camera or in your heart for lifetime is real happiness. Trust me if you honestly happy from within you need not flaunt it on Facebook or Instagram for taking likes from who’s who,half of them you don’t even know.

You need to learn what works for you the best.Once you are on it rest everything will fall into place. Its important because it has direct relation with our physical and mental well being.

I found my happiness in all the things I do or create every day, big or small. So to dig into my own happiness by baking eggless whole wheat Choco chip cookies loaded with almond and walnuts. And I am sharing my happiness mantra with you all..
