Last weekend, we had a big family reunion. All my aunts, cousins and their children were present. We hadn't had such a family gathering in more than 5 years, so I was really excited and happy about seing everyone.

As I always do, at a certain moment during the evening, I sat back and observed. Everyone was talking, trying to catch up on lost time. It all felt so familiar. Although, we hadn't seen one another in years, it took very little time to reconnect.
It was interesting to see how everyone had aged. Life definitely leaves an inprint on people's faces, and sadness as well as happiness somehow finds its way into the wrinkles.
Looking at everyone reminded me once again of how important it is to work on making happiness-inducing decisions in life... It is so easy to lose focus and get stuck in a less-than-stimulating routine. Making every day count is not easy, but worthwhile.
We all left the party feeling very happy to have spent time together. For a few hours, we all escaped our routine and reconnected with people we love. It was simple, fun and it brought joy to so many of us... Maybe happiness is not as complicated as we think!
