Just a thought...

With no second thoughts I sometimes agree to great philosophers.  I am not sure who said this but peace, joy, happiness lies in small things. There have been many incidences where I felt this sheer joy but couldn't really explain, why? Have you experienced the same? A sight of a beautiful butterfly on a sunny morning, feeling the dew when you walk on the grass bare footed, watching a sunrise or a sunset and many more. Don't such events just take few moments of your life and give you a broad smile on your face with a bonus feel good factor. I would never trade this amazing feeling with anything under the sun. Nothing materialistic, so pure and pious it almost cleanses ones soul. Do you agree? And yes you can experience such a high at anytime!

It is 9 pm and I too experienced something very pure, pious. After a busy day I came home and was treated so special by K. He cooked some yummy pasta (he cooks world's best pasta) and served to me-hot-cheesy-stringy-yummy. I just loved it. It was a quick by satiating dinner. 'A' (daughter) gave me a lovely smile and all my fatigue was gone. Soon it was her sleeping time. I was too tired to put her to sleep but I managed. At times being a working Mom is the most difficult challenge! I was just moving my hand on her body and she was off to sleep. Her eyes closed, her eyelids so black and curled. Her tiny little nose as cute as teddy..made me wonder to whom do they resemble in our family? Her arms around my neck...they say their arms around the most precious necklace and yes they are. Their arms make you feel responsible, make you feel the importance of your presence in their life. Her little fingers moving around my ear...so soothing after a busy day! I just love that touch, warmth, tickle and the feeling of belonging to someone special. To top this amazing feeling she put her leg on my leg. I felt the trust she has in me. Wow how does she trust me so much? She does know that I won't ever move her leg instead I started massaging her leg thinking she must be too tired trying to walk these days. Moving my hand from her leg I reached her hair...so soft as cotton ball. Looked at her face with so much of content within me, these lovely eyes-soft cheeks-small chin-cute lips....a chubby face...whom does she look like? Started searching my reflection in her face...

Being a mother is so rewarding. Apart from some low moments it does bring back that smile on your face which was lost somewhere.  I would not definitely trade my precious motherhood feelings for anything. They are my assets which will live forever with me. I don't know if I could ever pass it on to her but somethings are best when experienced....isn't it? I am sure most of the Mom's have experienced this. Once again I agree that small things bring joy and my little sunshine 'A' is my joy! Have you ever experienced such peace, joy...treasure it always....these actually give us the reason to live!
