What is something you do that makes you genuinely happy?

Talking to people who I casually meet and make them laugh at something. Reflecting on the positive side of life, not paying much attention to the negative. Always seeing the humorous side of events. Observing nature in a beautiful park. A smile of child. Having the feeling that I  have learnt something new.
Usually, when I can contribute to make someone happy, it also make me genuinely happy.

Can you tell your italki partner what \bout what makes you genuinely happy?

As a traditional guy in China, what really makes me happy is my parents are happy. Although it seems unfaithful, it's really my thought. Before study in university, nothing was taken into consideration as most of time and energy is paid on the numerious exams in high school. Now, many problems emerged as time goes by. At the same time, my parents grow older. I feel quite anxious because I can't afford a better lives for them.

Hi João!

Your new question is a thought-provoking as usual.

As for me I am happy when I manage  to express my emotions and feelings by writing verse, when I can find the most accurate word or a frase. And it is important for me to share them with my friends not because my writing is a masterpiece, but because I desire to reveal my unique nature.

And another thing that makes me happy is doing  what I can't do yet, what seems absolutely crazy or impossible first, for exampe, writing verse in English( my native language is Russian). 

That's it. Thank you for asking this question and sharing your ideas of being happy.

Dear Joao, I think most satisfaction brings me fulfilled tasks, not just somehow fulfilled but thoroughly! It can be anything: from smelling roses (Catch the Moment) to a huge project. I love writing and it gives me pleasure to tell people in the form of a story what my thoughts, feelings and worries are. Life is full of meaning, it gives me Joy to discover the meaning. I also take a great satisfaction when I follow God's Word, we all have advisors around us, but sometimes we are lost what is right and what is wrong and have to go back to the Holy Beginning. Take care, Katya :)
