Little things ....

Let's just say, the last few weeks have not been my best....things, as often happens in this journey we call Life, weighed me down a lot more than usual....and I struggled a bit to shake it all off...

I am sure we all have these moments ...when something, and you can't always pinpoint what, tends to just bring you down and you feel like cuddling up, whining a lot, spending time with someone who understands your myriad of moods and yet stands by you, holds your hands....and lo and behold, it's gone and the sun shines again!!! 

We all have them, right? 

The problem is some of us don't always have an option to cry out, to vent....because Life goes on, waiting for none of your complaints and takes you with it - willingly or forcibly. Moreover, because you are not a person known to complain, people rarely stop to ask - not because they don't care, but possibly because we have set expectations...

At times like this, I look inward .. to help me out, to help me up again.

I stop thinking of the bigger problems ( my famous ostrich mentality to the rescue again ) and focus only on the little simple pleasures that lie abundant all around me.



I watch the sun rise and set .... I pamper myself ... I read, I listen to music and get transported to another more beautiful world...I remember....I reconnect with my dreams...I listen to what my soul tells me

In today's world, it's difficult to always expect a shoulder to lean on - people, even those close to your heart, have their own lives, their own luggage and that does not mean they love you any less. And anyways, as they say, too much expectations lead to too much disappointment....

So my "little things" that do not depend on anybody else....work like a charm, reminding me that all said and done, Life is good ... and I am able to bounce back again. The sun shines :)


For all my friends who go through cloudy phases like I do, I'd like to remind you - focus on your "little things" during such times, park the problems to be tackled later and just savor those feelings, memories and moments that make Life worthwhile for you.....feel good about yourself, without waiting for anyone else to do that for you...


And then the tigress is ready to roar again!! The sun peeps out happily!


Love always.
