වඳිමු සුගත සාඛ්‍ය සිංහ
සසර දිනූ බුදු පියා

රමනී මන්දාර කුසුම්
කරමින පූජා
බැතියෙන මේ ගී ගයා
වඳිමු සගත සාඛ්‍ය සිංහ
සසර දිනූ බුදු පියා

මෝක්‌ෂේ සැප ශාන්ති සැදූ
මොහඳුර ලොවෙහී බිඳලූ
සම්බුදු මාගේ සමිදා සිහිකර නමැදා
කරමි මා ප්‍රාර්තනා
සුන්දර නිවනා
පරම අමා සම්පතා ...

The Happy Bug that is.

I've been tagged twice, by Dili (my first tag too - thanks dude!)
and PissuP (thanks for trying to unstuck me! :D).

So here it is, in no particular order, (and late as usual)
my '10 Happy Things':

• Music - Can't live without it. Depending on my mood I'll listen to just about anything. It's the one thing which can heal any wound and inspire me. It can calm my nerves and sooth me, or give me a swift kick in the rear and get me moving when all I want to do is lay around moping.



• The feeling of being Loved to bits - Knowing that I can make someone happy just by being a part of their life. Being cared for and feeling safe. There's nothing else quite like it.



• Closest Friends - The ones that I take the walls down for. The ones who can make me laugh when I want to drown in my own misery. The ones who stay up till 5AM to listen to me whine. The ones who give me the much needed reality checks time and time again. The ones whose shoulders have been drenched in my tears. The ones who play the part of my personal clowns. The ones who care enough to be consistently honest. The ones who know me better than I know myself, and still tolerate me. They make my world go around.



• Family Time - Long talks that go on for hours starting from one thing and hopping through a dozen more, thaththa's jokes, kitchen talks, watching movies and making up our own side stories... whatever it is, there's bound to be side-splitting laughter.



• The Kids - By which I mean the sisters, the cousins back home, and a few brats of family friends who are pretty much like cousins by now anyway. Yes they annoy the hell out of me, but they're still adorable and they make me laugh out loud with their antics! Also random kids that I find cute (ie. not too bratty), and pretty much all babies.



• Dancing - Finding a song that catches my attention and figuring out the right steps. Choreographing, practicing, perfecting, performing... it does wonders for relaxing my mind and putting me in a good mood! Also just dancing in general.



• Notes - The little scribblings of love that say 'hey I remember you!' Emails, text messages, cards, letters, all of it. Especially when they're random and unexpected.. definetely puts a smile on my face.



• The Unexplainable - Things that give me faith. The way something happens to turn a bad day in to a good one. The feeling of being watched over. Little signs of goodness in the world. Small scale miracles. Watching the horizon at the beach. Lying on the grass looking at clouds. Feeling small, in a good way.



• Sunshine - lots of it! Preferably with a light breeze.



• Cuddling up with a good book - To experience another reality, walk in another's shoes.. without having to worry about the million things that need to be done. Having the time and the solitude to just get lost in it.

my mind is just drawing a huge blank these days.. I want to write but the words wont come.. so I'm stuck.. much like how everything is going for me right now.. getting stuck everywhere.. can't make any progress.. feeling trapped..
