Our world is not a fairy tale which offers a happily ever after
life. Here we struggle hard to survive and to shine in what we do for our
living. But as we see, everyday is filled with simple pleasures to surprise us.
These are the gifts of life to celebrate and make it a happy day. We should
learn to appreciate simple things that make our life blessed and rejoice
life’s simple pleasure.
Everyone have our own definition for Happiness. We all can be
happy for so many reasons. We all have moments to cherish. To me, I am happy
when I am surrounded by some small but beautiful things. When I laugh, I am
happy. Sometimes when I am in tears, I am happy too. I am happy when I realize
that I have spent my time well or when I can think of tomorrow as a day to go
back, to what I absolutely love to do or when I am smiling right now
thinking of my loved ones and the moments we share. I manage to find my
happiness in so many little little things around me.
After a hectic day, opening the door to my home and that very
moment I feel like I am the happiest person in the world. Running to the
balcony and greeting my pet cockatiels and sniffing their smell while they
whistle. That is the happy tune, I listen. Or simply sitting, sipping my tea
while looking at the colors of dusky sky or lying in my bed, reading a thriller
munching cookies. A hot shower after a game or when I see a fluffy Red Velvet
Cake or yummy Macarons in my plate, Ah! there goes my diet and I am tuned to be
happy.
When I came across this Happy topic given by Coco-Cola #IAmHappy, I couldn’t
stop myself but to scribble my simple yet beautiful things that brings joy to
me.
I write because writing makes me happy. Writing lets me breathe
the scent of freedom and joy. It makes me forget my all sorts of stress. Perhaps,
that’s why I write happy stuff in my blog unaware. Now
when I look back of what I have written so far, I see a hint of happiness
sprinkled all over my nibbles.
Listing here my happy little things which don’t really cost a
thing or maybe a little. ;)
Young or old, a
toothless grin
Fills me like a
delightful summer rain!
Sipping warm
ginger tea
With a
home-made chocolate brownie!
Smelling roses
all my way
Unexpected
passing smile makes my day!
Capturing the
world around me
Rolling up my
pants as I play in the sea!
Books, new
dresses and more gifts
Those mild
perfumes I love to sniff!
Even one kilo
off my weight
And a big hug
makes me feel great!
Looking at my
old photo album and sharing a laugh
A long silly
conversation with my brothers and cousins
A peaceful
afternoon nap... Idling with my laptop
Ice creams and
sweet dreams... Rhymes and wind chimes...
Walking
barefoot on the wet grass... A bike ride or a car-drive...
Helping someone
in need... Making others smile...
And lot many
simple things makes me happy!
The everyday ounces of happiness are right under your nose. So
celebrate your life's simple pleasure and find your happiness today and make
your life a happily ever after tale.

DeleteIt is the simple things in life sometimes that bring us great joy and glad you are able to find them so easily. The ones that are free are sometimes just as good or even better than the ones you may pay for! ;) Sipping tea (earl grey for me), reading, munching cookies...I share those simple yet common delights with you. :) <3
