Random peace.


We laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summer night...

I follow Garfield on Facebook. My liking for him is all thanks to the three Garfield  comic books a dear friend gave me last Christmas :) (Nidhi...my secret Santa :) 

Today afternoon there was a (as is usual) lazily funny update on his page. It said "Afternoon nap! Who's with me?"

In just a couple of hours it had some 450 comments and 4000+ likes! Given how jobless I am, I was obviously intrigued by what is it that people like so much about this status?? I ended up glancing through the comments. Most of them said they are so totally ready for a nap! One woman had written "oh ask me what will I not give up for a nap right now"!

That comment reminded me of all those days when I had yearned for a nap but didn't even have time for a good nights sleep! And now when I have all the time in the world to relax n sleep as much as I want to...I have not even once cared to cherish it!

I know things will change...I know they will soon...I know once again I will wish for something as simple as a nap...but I don't want to wait for that day anymore to be thankful for this time in my life...when I have all the simple things one wishes for everyday :)

This post is to just acknowledge the leisure time (and the joys it brings) I have in life right now and have failed to respect all this while. May I never forget to be thankful ever again :)

Gunj,

Visited your other space but did not find any new post. So I thought let me check here. And lucky I am to find 3 posts. Read all. It is so true that it is but one world one people because basics do not vary so much. Nice one on the author. It is a fact that if one has something in abundance it's value is not truly recognized. Hope you are well settled by now.

Take care

PS : Looking for your valuable views in my space.
