Recently, I have been
wondering how to enjoy life. Did I see you smile? It’s a serious thing ooo!
As a young child I
anticipated my future, I wanted so much to grow up so I could do more. As a
growing teenager, I still had dreams and plans and constantly told myself how I
would achieve more tomorrow. Before I knew it, so much time passed by, and I
seem now not to have so much time for all my compounding ideas. This has
created pressure, asides the above thought constantly being in my mind.
As I sat down today after
making a sumptuous dinner of tastefully spiced Indomie for my parents, and Eba
for my siblings and me, I realized that after all my hard work, no “thank you”
was said. Every other day, this does not get to me, but today I would really
have appreciated it, especially from my parents, because I had put so much in
their dinner that I would have traded their food for mine. I accused my mum,
and she graciously gave a generous portion of “thank you”. As I savored her
words, enjoying every moment, I remembered that I have met people, and I
have been one of such who ask others not to mention thanks for their acts
or deeds.
Back to where we started
from, enjoying life begins with enjoying moments. Enjoy it when words of
affirmation is told you, laugh at your mistakes, take a picture, smell the
flower (no matter who is looking …LOL), sing the funny songs you never plan on
releasing to your friends and family (after all, they have no choice but to
listen to you… if you can disturb them enough). Writing about these examples reminds me of such moments in my life, and along with it is a
smile on my face. One of such is that of my elder sister, who used her husband’s
name to form a song, it was such a funny scene as he did not like it, but she
kept on singing the song.
A moment can only be enjoyed
later depending on the persons involved in the unconscious creation of the
moment now. There are no defined rules to creating a wonderful moment; a rule
might make the moment something else. To me, it begins with YOU, and everything
else takes definition.
Go out and define your day!
Enjoy, and please share
moments with us that make you smile in the comment box!
