small gifts of life

when we grow up, life seems getting tougher everyday. some people, including me (see, i say it loud and clear) becoming a complainer, keeps whining all the time. why? one of the reasons is because i rarely see a bunch of beautifully wrapped gifts like what i saw during my childhood. what i see most now is a bunch of problems that needs to be solved.

however, some people said that each person can see a glass half full or half empty. tonight, it suddenly hit me (in usual place) that i still have gifts wherever in my life. not that big, not beautifully wrapped (not always), not a bunch. it just comes in a small package, sometimes unseen, unspoken, easily forgotten.

like my lunch today: almost all of the team gathered on one big table, eating peacefully, talking each other, sharing stories, laughing, touching. it's quite rare to see the scene happening in my small busy office, when each of us have full schedule and different deadline that forced us to just eat instead of enjoying lunch.

or few days ago: when i got home and still able to watch smallvile in trans7 which means i arrived before 9pm! i'm not a big fan of smallvile but i watched it anyway, just because i know that i still have plenty of time to watch dvd, take a bath, reading some pages, calling or sms-in by buddies, or even do the laundry. it's a bless!!!

well, that's why i decide to write about this at the very moment it hit me. it's wonderful when we realize, which is rarely happening to me, but really easily forgotten. i dare anyone of who reads this, can you identify at least 2 of the latest small gifts of life given to you?

coz i have... and i think i still have some more...
