Little things that go unnoticed....

i have often thought of a lot of things that i only ever thought about when i was not preoccupied with other "more important" things....a smily face in the crowd......the first showers of spring (well yeah its kindof is refereshing unlike the torrential rains during winter)....appreciating something that ones family has done for them ( although people generally tend to ignore that, its kindof expected of them afterall isn't that what families are for? to stand by you all the time and be supportive)....little children running around in the park or playing on the streets....a garden in full blossom...a clear deep blue sky and the sun in a corner shining with all its glory...just the other day i walked down and spent some time at the floating raft like thing behind the opera house...it was a bright summer day not to hot and breezy...i have been meaning to go for walks since a long time but actually ended up doin mundane things even in my lunch break...when i did manage to go, absorb the fresh sea breeze and felt the salty spray on my skin....it felt heavenly...i spent quiet some time staring down at the bottomless (well not really at the harbour...it was built by reclaiming land from the ocean.....wonder how they do that) ocean.I have been goin through a rough patch in recent past and failed to appreciate a lot of things that came my way...coz the mind and heart was preoccupied with the daily "jargon" ( i do tend to reason out things and talk to myself a lot) that goes through my mind...then realization dawned on me...felt like just letting things go and lay back and njoy the sights and sounds of the ambience...it actually worked and happened to calm me down a significant bit...somethign i have noticed is the more one tends to hanker after something the further it goes from us.....like someone has wisely remarked...if you love something a lot let it go....if it comes back to you, its yours..or it was never yours to begin with.............
