Describe a Happy Person You Know Cue Card

My mom was not like this before, now she is in her 50s, and retired from her military job. She is currently an author, a baker, a painter, a designer, and a lapidarist, and she is still an expert in many unlisted things. Growing close to her after she retired from a military job I realized that she does what she loves. Despite having delayed payments, lack of customers for long periods, and any unexpected issues, she always manages to give her best by enjoying whatever she does.

How you know this person?

She does not just make customers but a special friendship with them. It sounds like some business strategy, but it naturally, unintentionally flows from her. Due to this, she has few faithful customers. They are few but she is very satisfied with them. Apart from these she reads books and sounds so dense with knowledge whenever anyone speaks to her. She makes sure that her work doesn’t skip her family time. The secret of her happiness I feel comes from the fact that- she makes complete use of every minute, she treasures her family and keeps everyone bonded by settling matters quickly, she is disciplined, persistent, and dedicated to giving more quality work, she takes her health seriously, she takes occasional breaks for self-recharge, she prioritizes mental health, she loves watching movies and creating videos with her kids.
