Find your happiness




One of my beloved friend, asked me one simply question : "Fitri, are you happy (with the decision you've made in your life) ?"


Yeaaah, that was a simply question, but for some case, the answer not as simply as like you though, anyway it doesn't matter what my answer was. But, what I want to tell you that sometime we always compare our self with others, don't you agree ?? Comparing *in positive ways* is good, but not always good. As like some people say,


The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but you still have to mow it

Happy , Happiness.. what is the world mean ? I don't know ! My point of happy or happiness may be different with yours, and you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.


Happiness is something everyone wants to achieve. While on the surface people may seem to be looking for money, recognition, or other things, what they actually seek is happiness. Unfortunately, many people never reach the level of happiness they desire.


Gosh, what I'm talking about ? I don't know I must be totally insane ^_^.. anyway, what I want to say that :


YES, I'm happy with decision that I made in my life *with every consequence off course*


YES, I'm happy if you not sad anymore *as you said, there is so many fish on the ocean* wink..wink.. *hey Kris, I'm happy meet friend like you - and thank you for the award :-)

YES, I'm happy to meet you again !! *hey yaaaa... nice talk to you, my best friend ever*.

YES, I'm happy after talked to my mom & dad this morning * I miss them so bad, hopefully we will see you again very soon*


YES, I'm happy can make you happy with this bread LOL.. really this is the request from my old friend that I found through Facebook again, and she asked me if I remember the bread that her (and me) ate every afternoon from the guy who sell door to door long time ago.. hahahah... milk bread with cheese filling *and she remind me,at that time the cheese just so little , probably more flour than cheese.


Hey, Henny .. hopefully this recipes can helping bringing back your memory, *well.. at least I try to use my imagination to make as close as your taste or may be better, hahahah

Oh, Fitri... I was so sentimental about your writing. Seems you have all the happiness around you and are truly happy about your choice in life. Again you yourself know the best what and how it is and you have no duty to rationalize to anyone in this whole world.

And Henny should be the lucky one today - maybe she is munching one of those cheese milk breads that you made for her :-)

Alway look at the bright side of things : YOU HAVE YOURSELF!

Regards
Kris
