It's not so easy…

The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in
your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path
of God just before you.

— Robert Louis Stevenson

Just thinking and pondering after reading the quote above. I usually take so so so many things for granted. I wake up and jump out of bed without appreciating the fact that I slept well (Nepa or No!).

Its easier (or is it?) to complain about the noise all around when in fact I can thank God for the fact that I can hear. Its usually a sign that we have light & Nepa has forgotten us when my ears are almost deafened by the road side musician at the end of my street on my way home.

I grumble when I have to leave work late or work Saturdays but should I not really be grateful that I have a job and I am productive most of my week.

I get upset and quiet when I have to sort out a thorny relationship, Why don’t I just apologise and thank God for the fact that I have a loving family and friends spread throughout the world.

“Beans again”! I retort when I get home and find out that’s what we are having for dinner. Instead of thanking God for a good meal which if I had eaten a lot of would probably have made me taller ;)

Why am I looking for some elusive ‘state’ of happiness when if I just stopped ‘searching’ for a second I would realise “its right beside me”!?
