Happiness!!! Aaahhh!! Is it something you are after? Does it seem to be far away? Why are we always after it? Why do we always feel that most people around us have it, and we don't.
I feel this way too. But lately, I have realized that happiness is always around us. At least a few tiny little pieces of pleasure are easily available and accessible.
As they say.. happiness resides in small things. Little joys come from little things. Well for me, I definitely am one of those trying to find happiness in little things. Well... that is all I can do as of now.
I seek happiness in little day to day activities, like, listening to music, watching the stars, chirping of the birds, to cooing of the cuckoo before the rains, watching the rain, a little sunshine after the rain, the smell of my favorite flowers, when my little baby holds my hand, smiles at me and when she gives me a hug for no reason. Even a four word sentence said by someone (i.e. "you look great today", or "I love your smile") can make my day. These are the little things that always make me smile and make me feel that I am alive. They are not exactly what I am after, but these are wee bits of happiness that are always around.. no matter where I am. And its a wonderful feeling to be able to see, feel and touch these little pieces of happiness.
We just need to take a few minutes out of our lives to feel and enjoy these precious moments. And they have to be enjoyed now.. because we never know what tomorrow will bring to us. So why wait for tomorrow... Lets just cherish today!! :)
"Happiness is as a butterfly, which when pursued, is always beyond our grasp,
But which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you" ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
