10 Things That Make Me Happy

 

Happiness does not always come from big moments.

Sometimes it is found in the simple things we experience every day.

Over the years, I have learned that happiness means different things to different people. For me, it is not about having a perfect life. It is about appreciating the little moments that make life beautiful.

Here are 10 things that make me happy.

1. Walking In The Park

One of my favourite things to do is take a walk in the park.

It gives me time to think, clear my mind and enjoy nature. Sometimes the best ideas come to me while I am walking.

2. Writing And Blogging

Writing has always been one of my biggest passions.

It allows me to express myself, share my experiences and connect with people from all over the world.

3. Travelling

I love discovering new places and experiencing different cultures.

Travelling reminds me that there is so much beauty in the world waiting to be explored.

4. Animals

Animals have a special place in my heart.

Whether it is caring for dogs, feeding cats or simply spending time with animals, they always bring me joy.

5. Cooking

I enjoy spending time in the kitchen and trying different recipes.

Food brings people together and some of my favourite memories are connected to meals shared with family and friends.

6. Family

Family is one of the most important things in my life.

Spending time with the people I care about is something I never take for granted.

7. Beautiful Clothes

I have always loved fashion and expressing myself through clothing.

A beautiful outfit can make me feel confident and happy.

8. A Clean And Peaceful Home

There is something wonderful about walking into a clean and organised home.

It gives me peace of mind and helps me feel relaxed.

9. Morocco

Morocco holds a special place in my heart.

The people, the culture, the food and the memories I have made there are some of the reasons I always look forward to going back.

10. Dreaming About Suriname

Although I have not been there yet, Suriname is a country I hope to visit in the future.

As someone with Hindustani roots, it is a place that I feel connected to and would love to explore one day.

At the end of the day, happiness is often found in the little things.

A walk.

A conversation.

A good meal.

A beautiful memory.

When I focus on those things, I realise just how much there is to be grateful for.

Love,

Shavida

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
