The little joys of life


Life is not always about getting that 6 figure salary, buying that fancy sports car, marrying the girl of your dreams or becoming a millionaire. Sometimes the small things in life, the little moments that most of us don't even notice, can be worth more than anything else we can ever gain in our life.

  The aroma of the first raindrop on dry earth.....
A steaming cup of coffee on a dewy, sunny morn...


Letting your feet slowly sink into the sand as the waves bound over your 
ankles at the beach


 
The pensive silence of hanging out with yourself at the library......

Whispered jokes and snide remarks in class
 
The days of quietly slipping out in the middle of class to gossip at the corner tea stall

Sipping hot chai in a dirty glass at the edge of a ramshackle tea shop barely sheltered from the rain













The random conversations with strangers on a bus



 








Driving through the winding smokies with one republic booming out of the stereo



  Huddling together by the campfire on a cold, fall night, drinking and singing.

  








The sweet smell of a brand new hard cover novel



  








Random late night drives with best buds.




  Sleeping in when it is pouring outside on a sunday morning.

  
 dancing like no one's watching

  Lying down outside and staring up at the heavens

    of course life is more than a six figure salary, especially after seeing this post.

    @ saru..true
    @ hari ...yet we strive for higher pay..we neglect friends, family and nature's beauty in order to make that paycheck a little fatter..
