happiness

The sun has finally found its way back to our bit of the world.

As I walk home, having dropped our little boy at school, waving off daddy as he cycles to work, stopping at the playground with my little girl, I feel content. With the sun on my face and a soft breeze in my hair, I am utterly at peace and marvel how lucky we are.

And yet, I had been so unhappy for the past couple of years, unable to fully appreciate the blessings and beauty surrounding us. Looking back, I barely recognize myself, imprisoned as I was by dark thoughts and fear.

I still have plenty of issues to overcome, and my self-confidence is still pretty shaky, but right here, right now, I am filled with love and feel liked the happiest person alive!
