Relax.... and be contented!

Just got a mail from a friend, with a link to another blog... a really nice one I felt! The blog talks
about a song with some great lyrics.. about the importance of some stuff in life and the like.

"Baz Luhrmann:Everybody's Free (To Wear SUNSCREEN)"

is the song I think. Gotta listen to that song today!

It's so true that we get to know the value of a thing only when we lose it.... and even though we know it, we rarely realise it and make up for it... the human nature is that way I guess... and it's also absolutely true that you need to enjoy the small things in life, you need to take time to enjoy the beauty of nature - to hear the chirping of the birds, to watch a beautiful sunset, to smell the fresh earth when it has just begun to rain, to feel the drops of dew on grass early in the morning, to taste the first drops of rain... I do know that these are the small things that make you happy, in the monotonic melancholy of life. But I do not know if I really do that - of course, I try to do it when I get a chance... but it's been a long time since I got one... I did get to watch the sunset at the beach - that really made my day (though it was the end of the day ;))

It is such a great feeling to just relax in the sun with no worries, no thoughts - just enjoy the moment alone, or with a good friend! I think you need to do that periodically to get some sense of hope and "life" into your life! I do not know when I will get a chance to do that... hope it will be sometime soon... hope... "HOPE" is the only constant thing in life I guess... I, being such an eternal optimist (I tell my friend that I am enough "positive" for the both of us, and he is enough "negative" for the two of us...!), I do not know what will happen the day I give up hope... "Hope" that I never give up "HOPE"!
