Do what makes you happy

Happiness comes in many forms. Some big and some small..
I believe it is the tiny stuff that really makes you happy!

You know what brightens up my day?

- When I get a good morning text message from a friend (Beenish, Navneet, Kanchi)



- When Harveen offers to pick me up in the morning for work because she has the car :)

- When we leave each other stickies at work or intercom with each other 20 times a day, lol

- Twisting a lid of a jar when no one else was able to

- When Nish offers to drop me home after work and tries to cheer me up on the way home after a long day

- When my mom cooks my favorite food for dinner without telling me, so I can be surprised when I get home

- A kiss on the forehead

- When my brother comes into my room at 11 pm and asks me if I want a Macadamia Nut Cookie from Tim Hortons

- When I am in my solitude with something sweet to eat and my Friends DVD

- When I end up having my eye liner perfectly glide on

- When my hair is messy but falls into place itself and looks good effortlessly

- When my dad hugs me right when I come home from work, and gives me a peck on the cheek

- When I am sick, and wrapped up in the blanket, and mom makes me hot Chai without even asking

- When I wake up on a Saturday morning, and the first thing that gets to my ears is that mom is making Aloo Paranthas with lots of Makhan and Dahi :)

- The day you look pretty and go out, and strangers give you a smile or a compliment

- When you help someone hold doors, or hold their stuff while they get on the bus, and the amount of kindness and gratitude they show towards you

- Extra sleep! Enough said..

- A long phone conversation after a LONG time

- When he calls you to say, "Babe, I am at H & M, and just got you a sweater. I hope you like it!"

- An itch you can actually reach on your back, haha

- Being home alone and watching all my silly shows like Judge Judy and Property Brothers

- A spontaneous plan to hang out with friends

- Going for a walk, and thinking about life in such a philosophical way because you're staring at mother nature

- Just counting down for Christmas and the holidays, knowing gifts, lots of food and happiness are on their way

- When Tim Hortons actually freakin' get a COFFEE right in the morning. My iced coffee, with just the right amount of beverage base, right amount of cream, and right amount of ice. Ah, it's like a dream!

- When Harveen brings me pancakes to work for breakfast! Awwww..

- Cuddling on a cold day

- Receiving those government cheques right when you need some extra cash haha

- When my mom offers to straighten the back of my hair before a party (seldom happens because she's burnt my neck one time before) lol

- When someone tickles me :)

- Going to Symposium and eating my favorite Chocolate Divine Waffles

- Doing my nails late night, going to sleep while they're drying and how nice and perfect they look when you wake up in the morning

- Having your dad de-ice your car in the morning so you don't have to do =)

- The excitement of watching a new movie, and eating all of Nish's popcorn

- Last but not the least, shopping alone =)


All these little things have made/make my day! Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It is okay to let yourself be happy, because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.
