#Happinessday

When I walked into class this morning, the teacher announced it was International Day of Happiness…it made me think…what makes me happy?

There have been many changes in my life over the last few months and I still question myself on a regular basis, whether or not the decisions I’ve made were the right ones for me.  Unfortunately the jury is still out on this matter.

However, I did start thinking what is it that makes me happy?  When I say happy…I mean fundamentally…deep down inside…happy.  Then I flash back to all the smiles I’ve received over the many years of family and friends tasting my baked goods…I am happy!  As a chef, I think some of the best compliments you can receive is firstly hearing the “music” one makes when eating your food, a clean plate and of course asking for more.

In my life right now, I feel very lucky that I am doing what I love…baking!  I have an amazing family and friends network that support me and allows me to follow my sugar filled path.  Being able to share my happy place journey through food with my nearest and dearest, takes me to a doubly happy place!

So in honor of International Day of Happiness, I did what makes me happy…and I hope to keep doing this for a long time to come…as I have a lot more happiness to share!  I hope you take the time out to think about what makes you happy, and go and do it!
