...And Then The Special Days...

Have you ever had a day which seemed nothing like any other? Well, I've been having a string of such days for eons, but there have been sweet breaks in the rut. Every day is special, that's something I've known ever since I knew anything else. But, special in what way, I ask. Well, of course, special enough that I'm yet with life, I guess.

How would you define a special day?

I don't really have a concrete definition for a 'special day'. I.M.O., anything can make a day special, it just depends on each individual, I guess. To me, even the smallest things such as seeing a butterfly go flower-hopping can go a long way in making my day extremely precious. People, of course, do so much more to make my days extra awesome. Even the smallest gestures or words or anything humanly performed can make me feel so grateful. Being the person I am, I just can't help smiling thinking about all the wonderful things that go on. At times, random special moments from the past just bring a smile to my face and it just happens anywhere at all. There are so many times I can remember feeling a smile or a giggle coming on in between really not-exactly-hilarious classes. A mental smile or a giggle works for me. Reminiscing is something I do on a daily basis. So many random memories of the past just come to my mind as if they just have to.

Well, I've had some really wonderful surprises in my life, knocking on wood, and I'm extremely grateful for them. To us, doing small things for someone may seem very ordinary and normal, but we never know when and what exactly we do that makes them happy and hence, we leave our footprints in the beach of someone's life.

People are special. Cliched, I know. I'm a minutiae-person. To me, the details are what matter the most, such that, at times, I totally forget about the big picture. But, details are so important to me. What details? Well, details related to everything that has or can have details. Even the most insignificant word anyone might say can make or break something for me. So many things that make a difference to me and most people could be: having a wonderful conversation with someone, just bonding with someone you never thought you could even imagine talking to, receiving some special mail, hearing from people you've known and not been in touch for a long time, a simple phone call from someone when you're blue, reading something really inspirational that makes you reflect on life and everything around you, accomplishing something you previously thought unaccomplishable (and when it actually turns out to be quite an accomplishment)....and so many more such lovely happenings.

If only I could be this filter for the good stuff which just lets all the not-so-nice stuff drain away. I'm not sure why I'm rambling on about goodness and special days, but somehow, I think I have the answer and don't have it, too. But, I love the fact that the future is so unpredictable, somehow, we can create it or yet just leave it to Destiny to create it for us, we can do anything...it's karma, it's luck, it's all the glitter and colour in the universe, all the thoughts and emotions, all the people, all the flowers, leaves, trees, sunshine, joy...it's all pure magic.
