happiness and contentment at the age of 15

I some time wonder what constitutes the concept of happiness. Is it respect , love or just good luck that happens to be accorded to you by other human beings.
Is it a temporary state of mind,body and soul Can it ever be everlasting.
When a person is a child it is the small pleasures which you get from eating ice-cream or watching a cartoon. For me the best pleasure when i was a kid was doing the above mentioned and also being congratulated on my birthday.
As i grew up in my early teens my interests diversified into sports, music,movies and food. Infact i clearly remember one of the most memorable years of my life 1978.
I was 15 years old and I think was entering the passage of puberty. In my father's house my main source of pleasure was listening to the radio.In the morrning between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. The voice of Kenya broadcast the news from 7 00 to 7 15 in the morning. After that the breakfast show used to begin. The presenters were seasoned and played the best hits of the day I remember I heard Stevie Wonder and Lionel Ritchie. These artists have sweet melodic voices and the songs were so soft to the soul. When i used to go to school I used to go to the food canteen during break and eat mandazi with a bottle of coca-cola. That year my dad bought a television that really changed my life. I remeber finishing my home work after school at 4 pm. The cartoons would start at 5 30 pm till 6 30 pm. I fell in love with the three stooges and that rascal dog Scooby dod.
Later in the year I remember my parents went for a trip to the United Kingdom and left me with a guardian. Now this fellow was a teacher and like to watch movies at the local theatre. So on Fridays and Saturdays he used to tell me to get ready to go and watch. That is the time i first got to know Hollywood superstars like Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep and Richard Gere
Also that year was 1978 the world cup was being played in Argentina. I remeber sitting till late in the night watching the final between the hosts and Holland.
That was a golden year in my life as it open up horizons which i am still exploring t
oday All these activites have give me such happiness and i hope it stays that way till the end of time.
Have you got something similar to remember?
Do tell me about it.
cheers and till next time . Take care Bye

Good Sunday Morning

Good Sunday morning and eating while jogging

My Dear friends,Clients, and also those who do not know me
Welcome to my blog. I will talk and address all issues which affect Human beings and maybe some animals.
Since my interests are varied and keep changing I hope all of you who reads them will comment as often as possible and critique or agree to what I have to say.
I want to make it interesting, nonjugmental definitely funny, informative and if I may use the catchphrase which I coined myself innovatement.
Should i offend anyone kindly note it is not intentional but it could happen.
I will comment on some mental disorders, organic diseases , relationships , sports(Football.Tennis,) and if it gets too boring i will spice it up with weird funny issues.
Sometime I may be streetwise especially about politics,relegion, entertainment(Celebrities), clothes, travel and music. So take it with a pinch of salt.
Anyway to begin with today is Sunday the 3rd of October. It is a bright sunny,day here and i got up early, had three glasses of water, I have already jogged 3 kmm , done 600 crunches and ate the usual. On the way out I met one of the neighbors. An old gentleman aged 60+ who has done some shopping and carrying grocieries. He is originally from a war-torn country where I have been. I am glad i broght a smile to his face when we discussed the different foods from the are he came from. Incidentally I enjoy cooking and eating different types of food. Chinese, Italian, Indian.
When i was there in my neighbour's country I had eaten some interesting mouth watering dishes . He invited me to come home sample his wife's cooking.I politely thanked him for the offer. I would really like to go and try it out but I doubt that I will go there as I have a sorted out routine which involves eating no more than 1500 calories of food a day. I have a weight problem. My nondescript body starts piling up weight pretty fast because when i start eating I go in to overdrive.
Do any of you have a problem of over-eating.?
Sometime I meet a client or a friend over a business lunch and it gets tricky. They always offer or want to have some finger-licking stuff and there I am sticking to fruits and vegetables and water.
Interesting in the morning when i am jogging i meet other humans eating egg and peanut butter sandwhiches. I am breathless with my exertions while jogging. and sometimes I just want to walk across and ask the person, to share it with me. I did it once and the person actually offered immediately before i politely refused and we burst out laughing.
It is nice when you can laugh and make some body else laugh . Life goes on. In fact I suggest you try that out. Go out running in your running gear and look for somebody who is munching away. Just walk over and politely ask (with a smile) if you could share whatever he/she is eating. I assure you in 7 out of 10 cases you will end up eating something ot the other.
Anyway that is all for today i hope you have a great day and eat as much as you can regardless of everything and anything. Inn that way tommorrow you will not check out somebody with their early morning breakfast.
By for now
