The story of happiness in me

What is happiness? Our lives are full of happiness even in the evening when we fall asleep without worrying, sometimes with a bowl of hot rice and a space to avoid the cold wind. Happiness can be felt even in the smallness of sitting by the window under the spring sun and drinking a cup of tea, and in the sunny and bad weather of summer when there is a shower. One day it's hard to predict, and it can be found in the fickle weather of snowy winter. But what's clear is that it comes with a completely different result depending on how I think and how I treat it. Some may not like the rain and may be annoyed, but one may feel like a sweet rain.

a recurring routine every day after day. There was a lot of time passing by casually like a squirrel. He spent his busy daily life diligently moving and giving meaning to it in his own way. But I've never had a bad or meaningless time. It's just that there's less and less to beat. In the face of a dull life, a once-in-a-lifetime event broke out. I have a child I've been waiting for so long and I've been hoping for so long. The doctor's encouragement shook my heart at the unplanned hospital. I even got courage that I didn't have. Suddenly, my head became complicated, but I thought everything depends on my mind.

"Happiness is not about wanting what I don't have, but about enjoying what I have," said Lynne Peters. Like a gift, many of the foot of life fluttered through the child who came to me. My body was already flying with the joy and joy of the child. Like the preciousness of having what I wanted so badly in my hands, there are more things I want to do for my child. The air in the house, which had fallen heavily, felt everything as light as a feather just by the presence of the child.

Like any parent's mind, everything in daily life came as special. I can't forget the memory of making eye contact with my daughter, who still has fluffy hair. The sound of blinking big eyes and crying was strange and overwhelming. It was from then on. I started recording my daughter's day. It's normal, but I wanted to record my daughter's daily life drawn by my father.

The wriggling fingers, the way he smiled while playing with his feet, the way he waddled when he first stepped, and the way he ate carefully made baby food. I began to draw pictures of me babbling and talking awkwardly with my father, giving strength to the song, every movement of my daughter, a rattle toy I played with, and a story I wanted to tell. The father's heart to take a step closer to his daughter and the desire to communicate with her were born as the current happy rabbit. Like Haengbok, who is always smiling, he added his hope that his daughter would be happy.

Who did that. It seems that the joy of giving a gift is greater than the joy of receiving it, and it is not wrong. My daughter's existence alone is a gift to me and a treasure, so I wanted to convey my heart in any way. The speciality my daughter gave me made me smile with happiness. They make their own sweet deal with candy to see a single eye smile. My daughter, who only looks cute with her pouting lips and whining, has more days to smile with a candy bag. My daughter and I, who laugh at each other and dream of a happy day, naturally melted into the canvas.

It contains simple daily life such as arm pillowing each other on a fresh grass-smelling meadow, presenting flowers and singing serenades to loved ones, playing on a bicycle wearing scarves, and running around in sunglasses. Taking a lollipop in your mouth and getting drunk on the sweetness for a while, it's all a little but magical thing that makes you happy.

It is good that the various life stories we meet bloom with happiness on the canvas. Memories with her daughter sometimes make her cry and come to her with a touching emotion. Everything that happens in ordinary daily life starts now. I'm happy with my dad's bunny even though it's slow. The two of them begin a pleasant brushwork together. A festival for happy companions was prepared within the frame of life. I should enjoy it with my daughter, who emits various colors.
