These are the moments that make life worth living (Part II)

Let's continue from where we left it last time. There have been many more instances and sweet nothings that made me smile and embed my life with a deeper meaning.
A few more defining moments of our otherwise not-very-introspective lives.
*Getting a hug from your dad. (That is so rare!)
*Watching your mom laugh at your silly cracks.
*Having a heart-to-heart with your sibling. (With whom you are always at dagger-ends:)
*Going on a drive with one of your best friends when you feel gloomy and ending up feeling so much more cheerful:)
*Feeling grateful to the Lord after a chat with an old friend.
*Two words: "School Reunion"
*Giving up something you really like for someone you love and realizing it wasn't that difficult.
(That someone can be The Lord as well:)
*Bumping into a friend after ages in the middle of nowhere!
*Having a simple meal with your family over a heart-warming chat.
*Getting a compliment from someone when you never expected it.
*Knowing that there are people who love you unconditionally and will be there (to bear with you ofcourse :D) no matter what.
There are so many more simple moments that can alter our lives and add the colours of love and gratitude to it.

It's all in the mind...

Look beyond what you see,
You'll always find a shadow.
There's nothing that light hides,
After a bright day, darkness has to follow!

It's such a negative outlook on life,
The day follows the night you'd defend.
It may all sound very pessimistically apt,
But what goes up has to descend!

Yet, there's another side of it all,
There's still elegance to it.
The night is adorned by the moon's grace,
Stars flanking, smitten by it!
