Life's Simple Pleasures

Sometimes we are too busy chasing our dreams, looking for the the love of our life, that we tend to ignore little things we can also appreciate.

I would always find wonder and warmth whenever I:

1. smell the sweet aroma of coffee and freshly cut grass;
2. hear the chuckles of a tickled baby;
3. see my baby pictures with old friends;
4. hear the outburst laughters of my son and nephew whenever I bring them ice cream;
5. read love letters of my ex's;
6. exchange greetings with my officemates, janitors and the guards;
7. exchange text messages with old friends;
8. jog with my sister in early mornings;
9. play badminton in the late afternoon with my bestfriend;
10. reach the mountain tops after stiff trails;
11. groove on the dance floor with childhood buddies;
12. wonder at the sunset on a boulevard;
13. watch the light rain trickle down and touch the ground;
14. hear old songs of yesteryears;
15. sing with my sisters with our magic microphone and beat the tune with less disgrace possible; 16. split my food with street kids;
17. teach with my students;
18. share meals with close office mates;

19. and just blog about other little things I should be happy about. . . . . .

We really dont have to have riches of the world, or all the academic titles famous schools could offer, or trophy partner to show off . . . . Happiness can still be found from simple life's essence that we oftentimes ignore. . .
