Did that ever happened to you?
You wake up in the morning - a morning just like any other. You have a breakfast, a cup of coffee may be... You do all the things that you usually do - everything's just OK - nothing less and nothing more... Then you start your day - go to work/school/uni, whatever you do, but all of the sudden, out of nowhere a thought strikes you so unexpectedly that you almost fall back right there on the side-walk on your way to wherever... And the thought is so simple and yet so powerful - you are right where you want to be, doing what you've always wanted. "Oh, come ooon", you'd say - "that's old news!!!", and you'd be absolutely right - it's not the first day/week or even not the first month that you've been there/doing that, but it's like a wake up call that rings in an instant in you head like a million 100kg bells!!!
That happened to me this morning while I was walking from the bus-stop to my morning lecture room... Just like that - something in me just flipped in a split second and even before the thought could actually acquire distinct shape in my brain, I was already smiling... It must have looked ridiculous from the outside, but I've been only thinking that may be (just may be) I'm the happiest person on Earth... So I just kept walking with a silly smile on my face and went to the lecture I was supposed to be... Nothing more, nothing less...
It's past noon now and the feeling is still there turning one regular day into one of the happiest days I had lately!
The reason to write you this is only to wish you (and make a wish for myself too) to have more days like that - to have to courage and to be allowed to feel happy with who you are, what you're doing and where you're living! :)
