HOW DO YOU FIND HAPPINESS?
In this trip maybe we had encountered, here, some answers for the question above...but one of the answer is absolutely basic and natural.
It may give us a guide to find one happiness after reviewing this photo album...specially from the last four pictures.
Cruising on County Road CR 621 East...low flying white clouds were hanging above the Caladium farming fields.
Netty parked the car on the road shoulder...to let the writer take shooting with camera.
...and a tractor ran in the opposite direction.
On both sides of the road there are all kinds of Caladium varieties being grown.
The dike system is vital to a continuous irrigation to the farming because it maintains the soil wet at all time which the Caladiums are sensitive to...this plant variety originally came from Brazil.
After visiting the field...we arrived at the premise of HAPPINESS FARMS INC...the largest grower of Caladium plants in the world.
Although Holland in the Netherlands is the biggest country that are growing and selling flower and plants in the world, but...the Floridan businessmen and businesswomen in Lake Placid, Florida, dominate the world of Caladium. 98% of Caladium bulbs are exported to the world from their fields.
Happiness Farms Inc. is the biggest in Lake Placid...however, the company bought a device for counting bulbs from Holland.
The word HAPPINESS read from the name of the company is absolutely striking to notice...we hope, the word's spirit will touch over to every human being. The light ["Nuur" in Arabic] of happiness will shine upon us...with goodness and positive energy. Insya Allah!.
HAPPINESS: : سعادة.SA'ADAH in Arabic, Sanskrit happiness is AANANDA आनंद. BONHEUR in French, KOUFUKU in Japanese...GAUDIUM in Latin.
In Indonesian "KEBAHAGIAN" or "GEMBIRA" is HAPPINESS. It is a state of mind...a choice.
Only you and I made the decision to choose.
It is baseless and useless to blame somebody or something..."The Devil made me do it"... for the wrong choice of the past.
"YESTERDAY WAS HISTORY...TOMORROW IS MYSTERY...TODAY IS BLESSED MERCY FROM THE GOD AR-RAHMAAN."
Happines comes from "hap / happen"...so, it's up to us...TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Open our arms...and SMILE...and BE HAPPY!
THE HAPPY FEELING is yours and mine...no body can take it away...as long as we hold it tightly.
In Chinese...XI means "CELEBRATION" or "HAPPY", "JOYOUS" and "TO LIKE".
Not "one happiness" but "double happiness"...that's the Chinese happiness symbol XI represents...which we should emulate.
<Another variety of Caladium...a non-colourful Caladium grown wildly on the shoulder of the road.
Yellow flowers on the same sport with wild Cladium on the side road.
The picture was taken overexposed by the writer's own mistake...oh, well...right now we don't have the opportunity to return and correct its exposure.
The pattern design of the yellow flower and its texture are very beautiful indeed.
Leaving country road and back to town...before entering the Caladium Festival ground we saw a private club sign...may be the local hanging waterhole for the guys in hunting and fishing or other gaming sports.
The Masonry Tower...the tallest in the country according to the tour operator...is in in the background.
...green and water...capture a landscape before entering the town of Lake Placid by the country road CR621.
According to a Hadith.
"THE WATER, THE GREENERY AND A BEAUTIFUL FACE
[OF WOMAN] ARE THE THINGS THAT COMFORT THE
HEART."
QALBU...is the heart in Arabic...JANTUNG in Indonesian.
To see and enjoy the water and clouds...the green leaves and grass...the vegetation...are the magical property for healing the heart...physically and mentally...for sure to happen...following Nabi Muhammad SAW's advice.
A healthy environment and an open heart are one formula for...HAPPINESS and LONG LIFE.
"DIRGAHAYU"...Sanskrit DIRGA for LONG and HAYU for AGE.
"VIVA" in Latin.
White clouds...clean water...fresh air...a lot of green...serene surround...are here for our wish...an imaginary garden of paradise? [Note: Nothing is perfect on the planet Earth.]
A dream home...in any where of such place in the world...to retire. Amiiin!
Is this one of the answers to the question "How to find HAPPINESS?"
It may be rightly so...may be found the right one or...it may happen to come to us if...we also include the acknowledgement of submission to The Almighty with:
لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله
"LAA HAULA WA LAA QUWATTA ILLA BILLAAH"
"THERE IS NO TRANSFORMATION AND NO POWER EXCEPT WITH ALLAAH"
"TIDAK ADA DAYA MERUBAH DAN TIDAK ADA KEKUATAN MELAINKAN DENGAN ALLAAH"
