When you're happy & you know it, clap your hands!

"Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"

The words from one of my favorite songs. One of those numbers which always bring a smile to my face and instantly cheers me up. Happiness to me is a light headed feeling, of not wanting the moment to end and a glowing face. Now, who wouldn't want it to last forever? But well, it's only the absence of something which makes you appreciate it all the more. Without sounding too philosophical now, I'll now write about those which give me my dose of endorphins! 

Flowers, birds, butterflies, trees, treks, mountains, seasides, puppies, et al (except any reptiles :P) make my ears perk up! Well, you've got it right- Nature and wildlife- my weaknesses. Being amidst nature makes me the happiest. And add to that the company of my favorite people- I'll be in heavenly bliss! Travel for me always needs to be atleast 80% of nature trails, hikes, sanctuaries etc. You ask why? Well for one, being amidst nature is rejuvenating, complete in itself. Even imagining myself in a field filled with yellow daffodils and a bright sun shining down upon me puts me in a happy place. A babbling brook, a scampering squirrel, chirping birds, swishing of the fir trees, bleating goats, a whistle of a shepherd and a cup of tea! BLISS! I am happiest when I'm amidst all of this. There are so many other things too which bring me joy- which I'll write about in another post soon!


We've often heard the saying, "Life is simple, why complicate it unnecessarily?". Holds so true! Happiness is a string of those small moments with your loved ones.. A string woven into Life.


What makes your eyes twinkle and plasters that smile on your face? What makes you happy? 😌 Write in with your comments.

Crimson

It came out of nowhere, Creeping about on the roofs & walls, They tried cutting it, to stop it from growing. But spread it did, entwining itself on the branches & the hedge. One day when they woke up,  The garden was bathed in crimson hues, Flower petals glistened with fresh dew drops, The sun rays softly beamed down. The Weed had finally bloomed.

Waves of Gold

The clouds looked dark & swollen, As if a thousand tears would flow all of a sudden, Just then a flash of lightning lit up the whole sky, Alarming the flock of birds flying so high. Thrown into a reverie, She remembered a similar night, When the thunder had boomed too close. And a sudden flash had lit up the hay roof. Her pleas for help had failed While the golden waves danced around her. Then all was quiet. Nights like these, She missed them. Wondering whether they did too.

"I dream, therefore I exist"

She dreamed about it, day & night Knowing it was too good to be true.  Wanting for it to happen with all her might But being practical was her virtue. Some told her to pray, others to visualize Saying, work your way, don’t see left or right. Work she did, day & night, Her goal, though not in sight. One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.
