Saanams Mind

Have you ever stopped to smell the roses in the middle of your busy bustling life??? You surely would find so much to appreciate and feel happy and smile about around you . A light shower just got the whiff of the damp mud  and I dont know why it brought back so many happy memories of  when I was kid back in my hometown . The smell of the wet earth  is absolutely something I love, so also the thought of the paper boats that I used to float down the streams of water.  Small things that bring a smile on ones face   Well lemme see what just gets that curve up on my lips  …..

A baby’s curiosity and  gurgle of delight , the smell of roses, the breeze in my hair when I ride pillion on the bike … the rain on my face as I love walking in the rain, the sand under my feet as I walk on the beach with the water touching my toes, the smell of freshly baked bread or cake or biscuits …. watching sunset, going for long walks, a drive in the rain, hot pakoras on a rainy day, a hot cup of tea / coffee after a tired days work, a hot water bath after a tired day’s work, a day at a spa from time to time, the luxury of getting your hair washed  in a beauty salon, a perfect moment caught in the camera,  summer showers in the middle of hot summers, the first sip of sugarcane juice, a slice of watermelon in summer, a whiff of my favourite perfume, a hug from my loved ones ,the joy of getting what I have waited so long to get, the adrenaline rush when I have achieved what I sought to achieve, a spoonful of death by choclate ice cream when it is blazing hot outside , the excitement of seeing a new place when I travel, moments spent with special people, laughter shared with friends each day , the pleasure in making someone smile, kidding and teasing cousins/friends when we catch up ,  the happiness on someones face when you have done them a good deed, a lovely romantic song playing …… so on…. so forth…. omg I think I really have so so many things that send a rush of pleasure down me and make me smile and a happy person.

Reading about how attitude can make a person look at life differently, I reaffirmed something today….” Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…. but its all about learning to dance in the rain “  I just am grateful for the so many lil things that bring a smile on my face each day !!!!
