One day of my life

This post comes a full 24 hours delayed. I was too tired to write.

Yesterday was just a normal day, a dreary Monday, but i realized by the end of the day, the reason for the smile in my heart.

Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things. ~Author Unknown

First 'T' dropped by to go for a quick walk around the block and she gave me a new recipe to try, "Pesarattu Upma", it's an Andhra tiffin special and very nutritious. Hmm.. when am i going to try that? And then we talked about random things, had a good laugh. We both seemed to want to have a cup of coffee together, both had a slight pain in the heel, and both were having a "so-so" day, which made it great. T is a new friend who i met recently.

Then 'S' who is 3,000 miles away called back after a couple of days. I was happy to chat with her.

It was evening. 'B' passed by and asked if we can hang out for a while and we had a heart to heart talk about simple but profound things. How too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. There is nothing we like to see so much as the gleam of pleasure in a person's eye when she feels that we have understood.

And just as i was going to call it a day, 'A' messaged from 7600 miles away with her usual banter: "Where did you disappear for the last three days?" 'A' is an old friend, who tries to stay in touch very normally in an absolutely irregular way. Actually she disappears once in a while! Talk of a busy working mom! :)

To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed, that can make life a garden. ~ Goethe.

I knew as i went to bed last night, that it was not just another day. It was made special by each one of them in their own unique way. Maybe it was my lucky day, "R" sacrificed extra time on a busy weekday, to lend a big hand in the kitchen.

It is days like these that make life worth living. Life is not a matter of milestones but of moments!

Go make someone happy! :)
