Little drops of Happiness :-)

I have spent most of my 22yrs on this earth, looking for happiness in big things!!From the time i was 5 when happiness was related to going to grandparents house every summer till now when it was related to getting into a decent grad school to getting a good job..These are things that happen rarely..So is it really practical to tie your happiness with them??Of course that is considering you actually desire to be happy!!(We all believe we want it, but how many of us actually desire it?)Every now and then, circumstances remind me that i can't afford to lose any moment being sad..

I had forgotten the joy one gets in getting a unexpected call from an old friend, a compliment for someone you love, or getting up to great weather, knowing what AJAX is(!), or being able to install a camera all by myself( i am very handicapped when it comes to computers!), having a hot cup of tea on a rainy evening, or a song on fm which reminds you of an old flame, that little piece of chocolate cake, a romantic sms.....And so much more..I read this quote somewhere saying that we don't have to die to go to heaven or hell..We all have our own heaven or hell right here which we live in..That's so true..It's in our hands to look at life with "rose coloured glasses" or otherwise..We have the option of getting up on the "Right" side of bed every morning and deciding that it will be a good day..And then it will be..I have lost 22 yrs on looking forward to big things in life..And i hope to amend that immediately!!Hope you do too..
