Happiness varies for different people. Planting vegetables or flowers makes us happy when they bear fruits or flowering buds. It's worth the "pagod."
My children are my true happiness. Just like you you are happy being with your Mom. I am happy when my Mom stops nagging ..hahaha ..I can understand since she is almost a nonagenarian in August. I can't beat it, really!
Visiting places is the most overwhelming feeling for me, especially the beautiful panoramic that my eyes can witness as I love nature so much.
I love simple "pick-a-foods". As you like hotcakes with margarine, I love eating "tupig, an Ilocano delicacy" paired with "tsokolate"☺️❤️
