It's kind of weird write about happiness in a day I feel really sad and tired, but it must be the end of the year and the avalanche of things to do for university, soooo...
Anyway, if I needed to describe happiness I would say to you that it's a temporary feeling caused by the small things and I think if we learn to enjoy these small things, then we'd probably feel better regularly.
I've learn it in that way since I have depression because everyday is different and everyday you need to find a reason to stay strong, even in the darkest days. So, I always try to do things that entertain me and keeps my mind away from bad thoughts. For example, I like to listen a lot of music, I like to read and I like to cook. Also, since I'm a mom I feel happy every time I see my son.
Last year was very difficult for me to accept this huge change in my life. Being a single mother and know that a life would depend on me should make me fall, but was backwards. It made me realize how strong I can be, and my son is my reason to live and is my reason to feel happy, too.
On days like today I just need to stay close to him, enjoy and smile with every little thing that he does.
It is wonderful you enjoy motherhood so much. And it is also great that diffucult experiences are the ones that make us realize how strong we can be.
