So here’s my eventful day.
Wanted to go to mass, but got (literally,) locked out of the Dakota station! Shocked. SO I walked back, and decided to open peanut shells with love (just like peeling potatoes with great love =)) whilst reading the newspaper so Mum can make her peanut something.. I love waking up early. It makes the world seem so much more peaceful (that it already is =)). Slow, and aww. just so nice.
Then sent Pa to airport (actually, he sent himself and dropped off the car to me) – before heading to Funan to rush to grab charger etc.. busy busy. Then detoured to Jurong and etc and finally ended up in Godma’s place and then home with er jie.
———– unnecessary context, but… ——————
It led to this momentous announcement to my sister in the car:
“I think that the key to happiness in life is contentment.”
And then my sister nodded, like she does to most epiphanies I dish on her.
And then I rambled and rambled on why I thought so (yes, its been an ongoing, most times just day dreaming, thought).
Just now, whilst I was brushing my teeth, I revised the idea in my head. Nah, its not just contentment, its also gratitude.. 3 brushes later, nah.. there’s also an element of hope.
grr. So my initial succinct, powerful one liner answer – became three: contentment, gratitude and hope.
And so I felt quite happy, =) until it struck me just as I am typing this – nah, its just one word. =)
Hah.
Took me quite a detour at that – hoho, just like the 5 detours I took today, not counting the others all through this summer.
