When you're happy and you know it..

I am happy and I know it

and I really want to show it.

When I am happy and I know it

I rant and rant !! ha!..ha!..ha!..

So this is one of my happy-phases. yay! Happy phases for me are defined as being happy and chirpy and funny without any rhyme or reason.

No, I didnt get any big promotion or hike, infact the chances of them are slimmer than ever.

No, I didnt win a lottery/surprise prize, too lazy to take part in such contests.

No, I didnt shop,I already have cheap things and Im not game for too expensive ones :)

No, Im sure not into a blossoming-new-relationship phase, I am in the same good old one. (Dont fret MR)

No, I didnt lose any inches, people who know me - know I never will. :)

So what exactly do I owe the 32-out grin to? I guess to everything and everyone who is a part of me and my life in any capacity. You guys make me richer and make me a happy person.

Whenever I feel all low and unlucky and cheated, I take a while and try to look around myself with an unbiased eye. And what do I see - I see people with more grave problems and still smiling and struggling, I find people knocked down from all ends but still very much alive and kicking. I see that the givers and helping-hands are not necessarily the ones who have everything but the ones who are strong enough to hold back their own tears and lend a shoulder to others. All this and more makes each fiber of my body feel grateful and lucky!  I decide to smile, gear up and be me !!!

I thank my family, specially my mother who taught me to not get lost just seeing the ones ahead of me, but feel proud and happy seeing the ones I have left behind.

Sometimes its very dificult for me to relate to people -strangers and close ones - who stay dull and down by default. My emotions towards them vary from being sympathetic to curious to annoyance.

Sympathetic for those who have deep rooted miseries in their head from the past or the present.

Curious for those who are complete mysteries and build walls around them.

Annoying for those lucky idiots who have everything in the world but they chose to not-be-happy and keep cribbing.

Not that I don't have my set of issue, just that I try not to focus on them all the time.

Not that the green monster of jealousy does'nt hover over me because I could be too satisfied , certainly not.

But because I think life is too short and precious to be spent frowning.And smiling is good for health -your heath and your loved ones'.Its a bug, strong and contagious.

Count your blessings and look around!

There will be atleast a  face which will lit up if you lit yours..

There will be someone or something  you'll thank your stars for.

Call him,pray for him, hold him in your heart.

If your past haunts,  be happy -  its the past.

If the present is gloomy, be happy -  it will soon be past.

If the future looks sad, be happy - coz when else will you be :):)
