We begin and end each day with a trillion things on our mind. Hardly do we put the glass down to give the rush of thoughts a rest and slow down to enjoy the little things around us.
Ever since I started working, this had been my life. Completely unlike me. Those who know me could tell how much I'd gather happiness from every possible and smallest of events that might happen daily. I found mirth in the simplest of incidents and just smile. But somewhere along the way, something within made me forget myself. I stopped smiling and laughing as such and not even enjoying the stupidest and silliest of things (most of the time it was me laughing at my own self for something that I did). My perception towards life was dramatically duller and lacked any luster. It was all about work, work and work. May be it was because it is my first job that is indeed challenging and I need to prove to myself that I can do it. Nevertheless I enjoyed and continue to too every bit of it. Possibly it's the new place, alien locations and the absence of my good old friends.
Then along came my family. Truly what makes me go on and on is the continuous support and the smile on their faces. Specially my young cousins. The moment I am with them, I am transported back to childhood. I forget my worries and life is all good. Watching the Kung-Fu Panda with the kids in the theatre, offset this string of events that brings out in me what I actually am...a girl who loves to smile for no rhyme or reason..no am not a moron am just too smiley...heheheeeeee..well what else am I supposed to do when one of them in the middle of the movie stands up to stretch and I pull him back to sit down...while another one shouts out " I LOVE KUNG FU!" and as I laugh louder than them at something in the movie...
I think I have found the missing link now and have begun to carry my sunshine along with me yet again. Making new friends with each passing day, learning to play Ping-pong, shooting some pool, bowling and trying out something I enjoy the most - Dancing. Was at this Swing Dance class and simply loved it. Not that I fell in love with the dance form. Salsa and Hindi movie dancing is still my first love! However, this brought back to me the happiness that was hidden within me somewhere and all I needed to do was to identify it and consume this candy of happiness. Having it in my hand and just craving for it won't help, would it?
So the sunshine is all around now...and I will continue to carry it no matter what the weather! Cheers peeps and relish each moment of your life...because life is indeed too short...OH did I mention I am gonna be Sky-diving very soon....heheheeeeee :-D
