Often enough in life, we reach a point when we ask ourselves, What makes me happy? There are so many teachings and sayings about happiness, but for me, it’s simple: MY FAMILY. I have had the pleasure of growing up in an extended family household, I remember when I was a kid, my 2 uncles and 2 aunties lived with us, and every school holiday we had my cousins come to stay with us. It was always a packed house; the minimum number of adults and kids in our house at any one time during school holidays was 13, so you can imagine how busy our household was, but it was fun and filled with love.
So I guess you could say that throughout my childhood, I have been conditioned to always count on my family and always put my family’s happiness first above all else, because for me, when my family is happy and content, so am I. I am not talking about riches; I am not talking about everyone with money in their pockets! As much as that would be nice, it’s not what I am on about. I am saying loving one another is enough for me, and taking care of my family is enough to cause me happiness and put my beautiful smile on display.
Family is important; remember it’s not only your blood family that you should find happiness with, it’s the people that are always there for you, blood or no blood.
I hope when you read this post, you will find some happiness in your own family and cherish that because remember not all have the good fortune like you and me.
