On happiness and peace of mind

On June 2008, someone very close to my heart asked me what happiness and peace of mind is. During that time, I was mourning, grieving for losing the love of my life (or so I thought). Yet very clearly I recall answering him without a blink of an eye.

And since it was the age of technology, everything transpired via email. I happened to retrieve this from my Inbox.

Happiness is raising my hand, singing my heart out, and crying that overwhelmed cry, when I am one with God in worship.

Happiness is seeing Mama and Papa, making lambing, as if Candy and I were not around.

Happiness is being in the arms of the person I loved most.

Happiness is being with my brothers and sisters in SFC, the one who knows my beautiful and ugly side, yet loves me for me.

The thin line...

Peace of mind, is making the most painful and difficult decision yet sleeping beautifully at night, knowing that you made the right one.

Peace of mind is the security that you are loved, head to foot, no buts, no ifs, just you.

Happiness is the state of knowing that you did what is just and right, to the best of your capability.

Happiness is bliss from following your heart.

Love is the two, and all the other fruits of love combined, with the person who will love me more than forever.

Amen. :)


Gosh, I can't believe I wrote that almost three years ago, during the most painful part of my life. I feel the words stronger now more than ever. I thank the Holy Spirit for the wisdom to not only write it down, but believe the spirit of those letters.

May we all find our own true happiness ad peace of mind.
