Happiness

Hi Friends,

Its long time I'm here. I've always told to Cherish tiny things in life. I thought i would make a post about my tiny joyous moments.

Here goes the list :

Tiny things which makes me (perhaps "us") Happy :

1. A cup of coffee with your loved ones
2. A warm smile from a stranger
3. Half day bunking to Class/Office
4. A creative work/ an opportunity to be creative
5. Any small gesture of kindness. (eg. A friend helping at your work when deadlines are near, even without saying your brother switching on the fan seeing that you are sweating etc...)
6. A long walk with your loved ones
7. An embrace that lasts a little longer than usual.
8. An outing with friends
9. Filling the car with shopping bags :-)
10. Reading a book which you love without being disturbed.
11. When I ask for a thing and my loved ones immediately get me that.
12. Reaching home late night after an outing with friends/cousins.
13. On seeing your favourite movie in TV on a night when you accidentally switched it on just because you didn't get sleep.
14. Small achievements.
15. Little praises and appreciations.
16. Having crispy snacks when it rains (enjoying the rain)
17. A little walk after the rain.
18. An extra half hour of sleep.
19. A long phone conversation (not fighting over phone... A sweet conversation)
20. Finding money in your purse which you had totally forgot.
21. Ha... receiving a handwritten letter. (Gone are those days where we used to write letters. So it can be taken as receiving a hand-typed mail:-P)
22. Riding back home without traffic (m scared of riding alone in the road.. so I wish no much traffic)
23. A hearty laugh which pinches the stomach and even if you try to stop it’s hard to control
24. To give/receive surprise gifts
25. Hearing that the Receiver loved the gift which you carefully chosen.
26. Feeling someone take your hands in theirs. There’s something blissfully intimate and meaningful about holding hands.
27. A kid touching your cheeks with its tiny soft hand.
28. Hearing “Love you “& “Miss you” from loved ones.
29. A tear dropping from your loved ones for you.
30. A recipe which you try for the first time turns out to be perfect
31. A small gesture of support. (say.,A hand on your lower back. Tight squeezes of your hand before you get up for your speech. Four simple words: “I believe in you.”  )
32. Extending a small courtesy and watching the effect. Hold the door for someone or thank them for something most people wouldn’t notice.
33. Coming to know that you were praised in your absence.
34. Playing a game you loved as a child.
35. Lending an ear when someone in need.
36. Turning over the last page of a long book.
37. Seeing my loved ones ordering exactly knowing what I would love to have.
38. A sense of priority which you get from your loved ones.
39. Meeting a like minded person.
40. Meeting a long time friend on the road and converse with the same warmth.
41. Finding the dress that has fitted you which was not fitting when you bought that.
42. Visiting exactly the place which you have seen only on your dreams.
43. Climbing into bed when you have just changed the sheets.
44. Waking up late in the morning and getting perplexed on seeing the clock that it is late to office and then realising it is a Sunday J
45. When you are trying hard to convince your mom that you are not going to school/tuition on that day and suddenly they themselves declaring a leave.
46. Making a friend understand a topic which was so tough to them till date.
47. The moment I finish a 4 or 5 star Sudoku & a word play puzzle.
48. Receiving a message/ call from a person whom you thought have forgotten you.
49. Dancing and jumping when no one is watching.
50. On seeing such a big list of tiny things which makes me happy.



Life's treasures cannot be measured. So this 50 above is not the exhaustive list. 
We all deserve these tiny moments of treasure , when shared becomes a pleasure.
We see the unpleasant moments and forget the fact that life has given million reasons to smile.

Hope you loved it. So now, open up. What is your tiny joyous moments. Share them here. I would love to know :-)
Stay Green !!
