Do you know how happiness from deep within feels?
It is a warm feeling that is dispersed from the heart to the rest of the body. As the thought that causes the happiness ripples in the brain, it sends a signal so powerful to the face that it will lift the corners of the mouth, unlock the eyebrows and brighten the eyes to a sparkle, resulting in a beautiful smile. A smile that is conservative but contagious, contented but self-replicative. The repeated thoughts send sensations similar to euphoria, wiping out any forms of negative thoughts that might have been a bother prior to the feeling of happiness. One can't get enough of it, the more one feels it, the more one wants more. Like an addiction. A good addiction.
I felt that deep happiness today.
This morning, the asian lady and I exchanged our greetings briefly. Apparently, she is indeed a grandmother, I saw her daughter too.
She: 你好。
Me: 你好。
She: 你是中国来的吗？
Me: 不是，我是新加坡人。
She: 哦，你的华语讲得很好！(Her daughter seemed friendly but was in a hurry, so her mom had to pick up her pace to catch up with her daughter)
Me: 再见！
She: 再见！
Just like that! Nonetheless, it is more than enough to make my day! It is as good as giving me a drop of water in a hot, dry desert!
