Inner Smile

It is a different feeling altogether when you are at peace with yourself... Your surroundings... Your thoughts...
At the end of the day, when you know that you're walking down the right path and making the right choices, at that moment in life, there is nothing that can stop you from feeling good and smiling.

Ever noticed anyone walking by you with a smile on their face? Not as much as we'd like right? I remember times when I'm walking, lost in my thoughts with a big smile on my face. Slowly you realise that people are looking at you, smiling back and probably thinking, 'what a nut'! :) But the thing is... a smile in infectious. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we had more smiling faces?

In times like now, the world is soo engrossed in making money to get by, living by a certain standard of life, living up to social obligations, trying to make ends meet etc etc, I seem to think that everyone is slowly forgetting the smaller things in life. Spending time with people that matter, doing small things to make your loved ones smile, helping a total stranger maybe to get their good wishes, giving out warm hugs to those you love, and making sure your loved ones KNOW that you love them... Not by things you do... but by telling them or showering them with hugs and kisses... These are a few of the things we as families, friends are forgetting... The world is a happier place with just a tight hug... Why do we tend to forget that?

I was one who always made sure to say 'I love you' or express how I've missed someone and constantly shower them with hugs cause that was me... Some where in the recent past I got caught up in the rat race exactly the way most of us are... I'm back to being at peace and have had a lot of time to think of how I went off course in certain parts of my life and now how I have to bring myself back to being the same old bubbly me! :)

Let us not forget that its the smallest of things, like a hug, or a kinda word at the right time, that can change the world for some people... :)

So this post is from me to all of you... My humble attempt to spread my infectious smile ;) My inner smiling self too!!! I am going to make sure to hug everyone, tell them how I missed them (if I missed them :)) and make sure they know that I love them! Back to simpler less complex ways of life... :)

From me to you... With all my heart!
