When are the times of my life that I can say I am HAPPY?
From my childhood memory, it was that time when I was having my 5th Birthday on an Easter! Yes, I can remember very well as I got up so early even before dawn, it did not take so much effort for me to get up as I almost did not sleep at all because I am so excited to wear that very nice birthday dress my Ninang bought for me. It was light green with ruffled lace trimmings on every folds on the front bodice, plus: they allowed me to wear that fine gold necklace with a heartshaped pendant with a small gold crucifix ;And so I understood that--that Easter Sunday is a special day with an angel coming down from somewhere to remove the dark veil of the Virgin Mary as she meets Jesus so Gloriously Risen! What a beautiful day to be having my
Birthday on a HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY!!!
On a deeper and more spiritual level, I would like to share this message that shows a very simple yet profound way to be really HAPPY:
"Let him who wishes to be eternally happy
know and believe that he will live after death.
Let him think of this and keep it in mind,
for it is the truth (Arcana Coelestia 8939:3)."
