I woke up early yesterday morning. With nothing really to do and no mood to go to kitchen, I started cleaning the slightly messed up house. After satisfying myself with that, I just sat down to take a break. Since I had not slept properly the previous night, I started feeling tired and upset, Unable to even sit out of tiredness, stretched myself at the nearest couch available (yeah, a couch potato). As I closed my eyes, started missing home. My people, the food I get, the family that is always active, chattering. The silence seemed to be very unwelcoming at that point of time. Suddenly I heard my neighbour's little girl running and chattering along with her mother.
At that time around my neighbour drops her kid to the school and goes for work. I gathered my strength, wore a jacket and stood up at my balcony. I could see my neighbour and her kid sitting in the car. Suddenly my little friend spotted me and within a few seconds an extremely busy neighbour looked at me. She along with the little girl waved at me as I waved at them. A smile can go a long way. Our smiles and waving which lasted only for 3 seconds was more than enough to refresh me. And I happily went away to kitchen to prepare something for myself. The whole day turned out to be nice and energetic. It reminded me of the time of what mother had told me about my nature. As a 3 month old baby when I was travelling in a train, I used to smile at people.
The more the number, the more I would get happy and would jump and be active, laughing all the time. Only then mom noticed how much I am fond of people. Seeing people always makes me happy. The same attitude remained when I saw my neighbour.
So friends... discover as to what keeps you going so that the time you remain sad is minimised as soon as you distract yourself towards a very friendly change :)
