Happiness is a strange thing! It’s often found in the smallest gestures, silliest things, weirdest experiences and with the strangest people. For me happiness has changed over the years.
Earlier, it was being with friends, gossiping about boys, which movie to watch next, what flavor of ice cream is mouthwatering and what next to do in life (important decision of life back then) was what made happy. A different world back then, life seemed like a movie seen through tinted glasses (which often changed the tint ofcourse …lol); happiness had a total different meaning back then.But now, a mother of an eight year old naughty kid who is amazingly energetic and highly restless; watching him grow a little everyday is one of the most amazing things I have loved lately. Realized late but nevertheless, it seems precious everyday. I often find myself out of breath, trying to catch up with everyone and everything around me but then it’s one of the feelings that I wouldn’t trade with any. It makes me feel Live, like I am on a High! And the calmness and the peace that follows when I hit the bed, is the best feeling in the World. I love the fact that unlike others, I drift off to sound sleep within minutes of me hitting the bed; and that for me is happiness.Now sitting back and thinking if I had more reasons for my happiness, I realized am happy for many reasons through out the day – watching in fascination, the insane giggles of the kid when watching his favorite cartoon show, which in turn makes me smile or giggle too without any reason is the purest form of happiness. I often get dragged into the madness and burst out into giggles too and that especially when the kid is all over me and wouldn't stop kissing or making me laugh. And that adorable look on his face when he is extremely happy looking at his surprise gifts, screaming in sheer joy and giving those soul warming hugs, is whole another level of happiness.
The happiness I feel when I gossip with BFF, with whom I almost eagerly wait to share the events of the day is at another level. After the chat, heart feels lightened and so easy it almost feels joyous inside. And the long talks with mom where I can crib and cry over silly things happened that day, is another.
After being the mom and taking care of my family, I often look for a caring word from my Mom for myself. That happiness I look forward very often. I guess a part of us never really grows up and still wants to be a child. No?Best of all stands to be that time when the house is still peaceful and quiet, and I can have some Me time sipping my first coffee of the day watching the sunrise from the 13th floor. That one thing is amazing and breath takingly beautiful, a heart warming feeling that I love everyday and is a reason for a teeny-tiny happiness to begin my day.
