Small is Beautiful - Leopold Kohr
For me, little things in life matter. These are the moments that I cherish or will cherish years later. I draw from this reservoir of memories from time to time. This brings a smile to my face when I am alone or facing a difficult moment in my life.
Sweet and special moments like -
A twinkle in my
Grand Ma's eyes
A hint of pride in my
Grand Pa's eyes -
On my very existence
On my achievements
Brings me delight
Father's scolding
Mothers Advice
Keeps me away
from vice
Arguing with my brother
Playing a prank
on my little sister
Later,
laughing on silly Jokes
as if nothing happened
our bonds
become stronger
Joy of dancing
in the rain
takes away
my pain
Pizza with extra cheese,
eating my own baked cakes
trial and triumph
of cooking new dishes
Birthday Surprises
Trips with friends
during year end
Late night movies
Sometimes,
Early morning Jogs
Yoga for health
Dhyan for mental wealth
Contemplation
Reflection and
Daydreaming
Watching sunset and
occasional sunrise
When my husband
brings breakfast in bed,
when he
appreciates me and
adores me
Long drives with him
and
Weekend getaway trips
Visiting home for
Dussera, Diwali, Holi
The list is endless
This constitutes my life
Deriving pleasure
from the activities
and emotions
ingrained in the
very fabric my
everyday life,
On the sheer bliss
of my being!
Little things in life
bring a smile,
Little things
that are free,
Little things
mean a lot to me!
Little things -
the reason for my
happiness 😊
