People Willing to Share Make Me Happy

3/11/2010

For the past three years, I have been on a journey to discover what to do with the next part of my life.  After I retired, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next.  I knew I wanted to stay very busy and learn new things but I wasn't sure what new things.  And then I started meeting new people and joining new activities and I began to learn new things about myself.  And it has been this journey of self-discovery that has really made me happy.  At first it was frustrating because I had a lot more questions than answers but as the answers started to fall into place and things started to make sense it was such a great feeling.  So this week I am very thankful that I have had the time to make this journey.  I am very thankful for the people who have been kind enough to share themselves and the things they love with me.  I am very thankful for the people who have been very patient as I have learned new things that were difficult for me but so easy for them.  I am very thankful for the questions that Jamie asks each week on Wishcasting Wednesday and for the comments you make on my blog or the thought provoking things you write on your blogs.  It has been interesting to think back on the journey, where I was, and where I am now.  Although three years ago I could not have predicted where I would be today, I am so happy that it has turned out the way it has and l look forward to seeing what the future holds for me next. So the answer to the question, "What made me happy this week?" is thinking about all of the interesting, helpful, caring, and wonderful people I have met in the past three years.  Meeting each and everyone of these people has made my journey very, very special.  So to everyone who has been a part of this in any way I want to say, "Thank you!"

I just watched Jamie's video so I thought I would answer her question.  I think there are two themes that run through most of my posts on being happy and that is connecting with people and nature.  I have always realized that connecting with people is important to me but how nature affects my feelings has been an eye opener.   So my self-discovery journey continues, which is great!

Spiritual and personal insight are truly transformative and make me very happy too. So glad you are discovering so much about yourself and connected with people and nature are so very important, love those themes.

The other day I was crossing the compound at work when I looked up and saw a Turkey Vulture lazily riding the thermals with mounds of a huge clouds in the distance. There is a feeling that comes over me in certain moments, a feeling that the modern world could never connect me to- something primitive and powerful. And I totally forgot about that moment until I read the last paragraph of your post. Thank you for reminding of that and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I often forget that I've had a lot of helping hands in my life. Have a great weekend!

Wonderful story of your journey of self-discovery! I, too, find that much of my happiness stems from my connections with people--my family, my friends, and the creative spirits I've been privileged to meet in the blogosphere. Thank you for all your positive comments on my blog.

What a wonderful journey of discovery this sounds like. Indeed, much of my happiness comes from connection with people too. May your journey continue to bring more surprises and insights!

I read your story about riding around in the car with your friends when there were riots going on - I remember those days, too. It took me back.
This self-discovery journey is so fulfilling - and I think it's wonderful when we can identify what it is that makes us happy. People, nature, painting and music do that for me.
