I'm Happy For You!

Dear Readers...

...do you ever have this urge to reach out to people you didn't have anything to do with for a long time, just because you feel happy for how their life turned out to be?

I do!

For instance: There is one guy among my Facebook friends, who was in my class in elementary school.
He used to be -sorry (in case he should read it), this isn't meant to be rude- a "wild child", who used to do whatever he liked and was rude sometimes (but usually only to people who were treating him unfair).
I remember one afternoon, when I was at home after school, when suddenly our door bell rang and it was him asking what I was up to. Then we played the "new" smurfs computer game I had, and we ate ice cream. After a while he went back home.

Today, this guy is a dad and married already, and I am honestly so happy for him, although it is really none of my business!
I don't know what happened between elementary school and... well after elementary school, for I still don't know what he's doing now, but looking at his pictures with his new little family makes me really happy for him! I kind of want to reach out again and say: "Hey, I know we haven't had any contact since elementary school, but I just wanted to say: I'm really happy for you!"

You think this is weird? I don't know... I don't think so.

Obviously, I didn't think it was a good idea to go through with it and really write him, for I feel it's none of my business, for we haven't kept in touch ever since. I mean we weren't even that good friends in elementary school either, but I'll never forget that afternoon, for it was the day I learned, that he wasn't the wild child he pretended to be. He was actually very polite and had good manners! And I guess, thanks to his good heart, he found his "reward" in his own little family.

It's always nice and actually feels good to think "good thoughts".
And I'm talking about honestly feeling happy for other people, and not the "Ohhhhh, how niiiiice (screw you!)"

Thinking happy thoughts is a true joy for your soul, and gives you positive energy! 
...at least that is what I experienced!

You should try it :)
