A daily routine is being set gradually.
I have come to look forward to waking up at the wee hours of the dawn, doing some stretching exercises and yoga and finally reading a page or two. Needless to say, reading is my favorite part of the morning.
Today, when I opened the door of my house in the morning, I was treated to the scintillating aroma of dew drops. Have you ever experienced it - this aroma, that feels earthy, refreshing and so pure?! The leaves of the tree in front of my house were glistening and for a few seconds, I simply stood beside the leaves, inhaling the pure fragrance of nature. Mornings like this come every once in a while, and when they come, it feels simply magical!
The rest of the morning went by in the usual chores. Sometimes they make me wonder whether there is more to life than this, whether I have a higher calling or purpose. But then, the kid came home from school, looking really excited. I thought it would be news about a holiday. Only that can bring such enthusiasm in the kid. But he showed me a small empty box of Tic-Tac, a chewing tablet that he is very fond of. "I am starting a collection of this!" He said with a huge smile.
And just like that, I got the answer to my ponderings. May be there is no higher calling or purpose to my life, other than living every day well and finding a lot to be grateful for - like, a dawn spent in solitude, inhaling the earthy fragrance of a dew-drop or finding happiness in your kid's simple joys.
Sometimes, that's all we need, don't we?
