Life's Little Treasures

I might sound very philosophical on this one but I have this urge to let go what I am feeling at the moment. All their lives people run after so many things; money, possessions, a decent job, an attractive remuneration, a penthouse, a Mercedes, a luxurious life; to sum up the expectations are most of the times materialistic. No matter how much we talk of our detachment from these luxuries, our life, at one point, gets stuck to them. Yes, people do come over it, because sooner or later, we do realize that life is not just about having in abundance all these things. May be I am too young to comment on what is important in life and what is not so important. However, from what I have learnt and seen so far, having a comfortable life is not mere possession of material goods.

For me, simple things are pleasurable. My niece waiting for me to get her a candy bar makes me feel so important; the feeling is so good. The moments when I can just let go off everything and curl up in my blanket with a book by my side is so very precious to me. Getting the chance to be with the closest friends on weekends rejuvenates and prepares for me the coming week. I cherish the moments when I can just forget the whole world and visit a place all on my own, or just browse the shops trying on the weirdest of clothes I would never even think of purchasing.

Well, financial security is always important. However, earning lots and lots of money is not the prior agenda of my life. I just want my life to be a little better than what it is today….and I can be satisfied with what I have. I would want life’s little treasure always shower on me…I hope it does happen….Amen!!
