Time to stop for a while, think, rethink and go on..
Even little things could be lovely and bring joy and smile. Lttle things on ground are cheerful in the sunshine, dancing with the wind and reaching to the sky.

Very recent reading, I read that the angel tried to hide the secret of happiness somewhere not easy to find... i.e; into the deep ocean, on the hilltop or in the deep cave, still unsure to be explored by human beings, finally the angel thought that the best place to hide the secret of happiness is inside human mind...

It's right that it's not easy to find though it's near to us. So how we see it..
we can choose to be happy or not happy for any circumstances.

How wonderful, little happiness is when I get email from a friend in Sri Lanka who I met in short time only twice, once at the front desk where he is the hotel manager and once in the public bus in Colombo.. I get his greeting email once in every year.

Little happiness as well as i get a greeting card through snail mail from a friend, university lecturer, who met only twice when he came to my office for short discussion on work.

It's like long lost friend, coming to see again with beautfiul wishes. Both greeting mails stop me for some moment with deep appreciation to read and be silent with no words other than happiness. Some people we meet and depart and some remain. The world is spinning around, let us meet for a short while in the same space and same point of time and then spinned us away, but how delightful that in spite of living in different space and time, busy with our own small universes, but as the beautfiul day is about coming, someone who met in certain point of time care enough and send me best wishes. Not seeing in physical, but in mind, good wills and best wishes are still in connection even just once a year.

If I go to Sri Lanka again, I will meet him, as he is the only friend I have there. Actually I have another friend but we lost in contact long time already.

I used to do beautfiul thing -sending new year card to my teachers at my junior high school for many many years but for 4-5 years lately I lost that tradition because of internet world. Why do peoplel ike me run out of time to do this beautiful thing ?

Among billion people in this earh, to meet some of them is not, at all, coincident. Everything happens for a reason. We may have something connected either tightly or loosely for some point of time in the past and we meet again due to those past connection. Even the time we share in Flickr, the contact we have and the comment we share, not seeing in person though, we used to be connected to some extent in the past so we meet again now.

I am more happy to hear sometimes that people in Flickrs wrote me that they were happy after seeing my photos. I value myself by the way I could contribute and make people happy. I'm happy to get forwarded happiness. All of these some people are speacial to each other, even just passing by and giving smile.

I feel the cheer seeing this flower,. I hope you could feel too
I wonder how those bugs feel as flying or jumping under these beautful umbrella.

Happy New Year 2009, All the best things, better that bests we have this year.
