pursuit of happyness

i watched pursuit of happyness last thursday when it was released in the cinemas. i was expecting a full on cry fest etc etc, but funny enough i didnt cry. however it did make me think and ask fellow mr s. about his pursuit of happyness - his highest high and his lowest lows.

well i wont share with you what his personal experiences are (not my thoughts to share) but ill share some of mine.

what is my pursuit of happyness? im not totally sure. i honestly have everything that i could possibly want (more money would be nice but will it make me truly happier? i dont know). I would like to travel more and see more of the world - thats one thing for sure. but apart from that im quite happy and content at the moment.

my highest highs - going to japan in yr 7 - yes it has been a very long time, but i still have lots of fond memories and i have meaning to go back there. Which also reminds me i have to send them a letter and some piccies to my host family.
another high - my wedding day - it took an exhausting 13 months of planning, planning, planning and more planning to organise. but in the end it was well worth it. i loved every moment of that day and it all went off perfectly (complete success!)
another high - my student practicals - when the lesson goes on perfectly and you can see the light bulb above the kids heads light up when they "get" something. its amazing. oh that and when i got my marks. over the moon. :o)

lowest lows - heheh ... hooo haaaa.... dont we know some of these. hands down, my VERY STUPID mistake i did about 2-3 yrs ago. involves signing documents with very little thought. end of topic. everyone knows about this one. :o) (no im not proud of what i did and i have learnt from my mistake)
losing grigor just before christmas. me and mr s. blame ourselves for not paying enough attention to our doggy. we could have done so much more so much earlier (maybe? maybe not?) we dont know. but we do miss our doggy very much.

the next one was an interesting mix of high/low - helping my brother get out of his "wierd" relationship. it was an extrememly bizzarre 2 wks. high becuase he was free - and we got my brother back and he was out of "shit" life/relationship . low because i was the only one taking the shit from "her". at the time my parents had gone back to indo - they were saved the trouble surrounding everything that happened. my brother left - obviously and guess who was holding the HOT patata? me. myself and i. mr s was not very supportive during that time. he did not want to know nothing about nothing. in the end, im happy i did what i did. because i had to be very strong for everyone and cut the ties with "her" for our whole family. my bro owes me BIG TIME.

so what is your pursuit of happyness?
what were the highs and lows of your life?

just some food for thought
