The Joy of Little Things

The Joy of little things

“I am beginning to recognise that real happiness

Isn’t something large and looming on the horizon

ahead but something small, numerous and already here. The

smile of someone you love. The decent breakfast. The warm sunset.

Your little everday joys all lined up in a row.” ~ by Beau Taplin

The prominent lines by Beau Taplin solely grabbed my focus. These words left a remarkable mark on my little mind. Until now I was trapped in the whirlpool of being big, and has dis -remembered to celebrate the joy of little things. In the race of life, we struggle. We struggle to reach to our goals, but in this race we forget to rejoice the joys of little things. Have we ever tried to look back and see, that what we have lost, couldn’t be gained back again, it’s our youth, childhood, time with parents, etc etc.

The Joy of little things is about those little little things which appears to be very petty but embraces a colossal impact on us, may be for a day or for a lifetime.

I was busy, I was occupied,

Didn’t had time to say hi,

She came to meet me in my busy hours,

But I was so occupied to feel her presence.

I was thirsty, I was hungry,

I had no time to have a cup             

They offered me a cup,

But where is the the time to sip it or a while.

I was tired, I was exhausted,

I had no time to refresh myself

She came to play with her teddy,

But where is the time to play, with daddy

I was sleepy, I was lazy

I had no time for a five minutes nap

It was Sunday, could be a funday,

But how to compromise with gym and workouts

Life is busy, so am I

The race is long for being big,

But life is short, wait a bit,

Rejoice the joys of little things
