Happiness in little things
Recently, I was besieged by an overwhelming longing for something I cannot put my finger on. I don’t even know if I am actually longing for that someone who put money over a relationship I thought would last until death do us part. I was restless. If a good book and a strong tea cannot heal it, I do not know what.
I went on the road, looking for it. No, I did not find what was ailing me. But I found something else…
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Happiness in little things. The breeze from the open window of the car. Don’t you just find it relaxing to feel that cool breeze on your face? A baby’s smile is one of them. A car stopped beside mine and the baby smiled widely, reaching out her hand. It made my breath stop. That is God’s wonder, staring me right in the eye.
Little things matter. We just ignore it most of the time. Try to look at things you normally just pass by. It will make you happy, even in an odd sort of way.
Believe me.
