I am Happy to Be Back

365 Days of  Happiness : I am Back

Here I am.
Happy as a bee.
I stopped writing for a while.
I didn't stop writing because there was no happiness. Surely there were.
I was distracted. I was planning to get back and a good shake guided me back in this direction.

I once read a definition of happiness as:
"Happiness is realizing that you left your key inside the car after you have closed the doors and finding out you left one window open."

I am not sure if this is true for those who have cars. I don't have one. But what I do realize is there is happiness after you have some sort of unhappiness.

I had a meeting last night at the 27th floor. Two hours after, I remembered I need to check something in my phone so I looked for it. I emptied my backpack, my pouch, my wallet. It is nowhere to be found. My colleagues were very helpful, double-checking my things, looking under the desks, offering their iPhones so I could locate mine. Thank you, good people of RSS.

I recalled two places I went to and I was sure it's not the first one. I decided to check the meeting room at 27th floor. I was praying from 7th floor to 27th for my phone to be there. When I got there, the lights were on. I knocked and opened the door a crack. No one was there. I opened the door wider. Lo and behold! My phone was lying there on the floor, under a swivel chair, looking like it was waiting for someone to pick it up.

A week ago my niece lost her iPhone. Imagine how stressful it would be to tell my family I lost mine, too. Well, I don't have to. I got it back. Prayer works.

I am happy I got my phone back. I am happy I found a good reason to go back writing about happiness. I am happy to be back.
