staying happy

how does one stay happy?

be having loads of $$$, a high flying career and a happy and complete family???

NONONO, thats my ans.

i guess the only way to stay happy in this modern world is to live simply.

i m expecting my first child and there are loads of temptation to buy. I would love to give my child the BEST but after much pondering, i have decided to just buy the necessities (milk bottles etc). As for the cot and stroller, to God's grace, i gotton them either free or at a very low price.

I thank God for all this. My hus was still very worried that the child is going to be a financial burden even before he was born but now... looks like jsut by liveing simply and being contented with what we have, we are looking forward to the arrival of our lil one.

Thus, i m happy. Though, i dont fly high in my career and am not an excellent housewife, but i m still very contented with what i have now.

i dont need 10k in my bank account to make me smile. Even a call to my ex colleageus and her tip on breast feeding brightens up my day.

God is here with me.. all the time and i thank Him for His kindess and graciousness.
