Life's simple pleasures

It is not everyday that I get a chance to stop for a while and ponder on simple things. My whole life now is revolving around office, home, RareJob and Mikhaela. The hectic schedules have let me grown irritated and temperamental. I want everything fast and done. Easily angered and throwing into great despair and frustration. But last night, as a stayed wide awake after patting Mikhaela to sleep and reading her stories (which I do every night with no lapses), listening to the slow breath of my kid smelling, her sweet milky breath made my thoughts ran to my childhood. The days when everything was so easy. When all I have to think of was home school and play. But as they say, the more people get educated the more exposed they are to the harsh realities of life. That everything will not come as easily as is. But, I realized that everything should not be carried as heavily. No matter how great responsibilities are, we should bear it gracefully and take time to enjoy life's simple pleasures...
