Pleasure in small things

As we grow old we happen to overlook a lot of small joyous things knowingly or most of the times unknowingly. Those small things that gave us immense happiness doing it not so very long ago. And as everyone or let me say 'almost everyone' does, i too followed suit. I'm no different.
I think once in a while we should take time off to re think on doing what would we feel better. Now when i am saying this please don't ask me questions like, will i get those same moments back?, will i happen to enjoy the same amount now doing those things? Well, i would say 'no'. You won't find some or most of the things amusing now at this particular stage of life as it used to be. But consider looking into all those even very small things that gave you pleasure doing it before you decide nothing is worth pleasurable as it used to be. Also i would say it would not be appropriate to compare the two instances on same scale. Each has it's own significance and differences. But i can bet you would still be amazed how wonderful it is to look into the sky on a clear night, walking on the sea shore barefoot or taking a dip in the hot sunny afternoon, sitting on a thick branch(remember you're heavy now) of a tree ;), getting drenched when it is raining heavily and playing soccer, hot chocolate drink on a rainy day for people who are used to coffee and tea now. Well try to look onto yourself in the mirror(useful for guys who've not seen selves in mirror for some time now). Also ask what would be keeping you happy if you were to do it in the next minute or continue doing it. I know a lot of things cannot be done as we grow up for different reasons. I was jus giving examples of what i was fond off. But there are many other things that are worth giving a try. Jus like how i found myself enjoying cycling again after a gap of almost 12 or 13 years! It's for you to find out what would give you happiness. Do not stop until you do find it.....
