Usha
-opening your eyes in the middle of the night and be startled to find moonlight flooding your room
- finding the first bud on your flowering bush
- first drops of rain on your face
-holding a puppy in your hand while it licks all over your face.
-sitting at home on a wintry afternoon listening to old film melodies, with a dog contentedly curled at your foot
- mails from friends
- gurgling laughter of infants
- silence
-sitting on a rock with a book wetting your feet in the flowing river.
- pulling down the contents of your shelf and sitting among the memories.
- smell of antique furniture
-sleeping on crisp sheets and pillow cases smelling of surf excel and sun
- watching a little girl say: "Mimi, aapka chehla mele liye lucky hai"

  7. Hmmmm! Lovely- the images created in my mind. Esp loved the pup licks (only a dog lover would, all the rest would go YUCK) and the pulling the shelf down. Funny how anybody else (esp your 3 yr old) doing that would make you raise Cain... But when you put it your way, yup it does lead to happy musings

    JLT: I think the whole joy in pulling the shelf down is the complete letting go - of the sense of order, and just let yourself amid your memories. Puppy licks _ I kmow what you mean, I have seen people rushing to wash themselves with dettol.

    WIN: I am sure you have your own set of happy moments NOW - come let us start listing them. Remember that unexpected holiday when you got to lie in late and did not have to worry about getting ready for office, and then...
