Happiness is Christmas Time

I was like a child again Christmas 2013 when i saw the Peanuts christmas town at SM Southmall and I can't help but have my pictures taken - yey.

“Happiness is anyone and anything that's loved by you.” 
― Charles M. Schulz

my favorite song from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown


Happiness is being alone every now and then.
And happiness is coming home again.
Happiness is morning and evening,
Daytime and night time too.
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you. 

To live is to dance, to dance is to live.

Make The Ordinary Come Alive

Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.
-The Parent's Tao Te Ching
