Dear LeeSun,

What makes you happy?

Bert

Ah Bert, … what a question! So many things …

the sound of a rhodes played well
sleeping when tired
staying up when tired b/c being awake is so fun
food prepared with love
beautiful stationery, lovely pens
feeling understood
sharing good things, good times
humour
my boy
getting work done, and done well
generosity, in myself and in others
safe spaces
rollerblading
picnics in lovely places
kindness
being inspired or inspiring

Most of all, simple things … being able to appreciate the freedoms and security and joys that I often take for granted. For me, happiness and thankfulness are intertwined. And taking a moment to think about that always helps, if I’m ever down.

Thanks for asking.
