An Unexpected Source of Joy

Thanks for the message, thanks for showing that you still care. It is funny how you can still bring a smile to my face with the simplest of gestures. Thanks really for brightening up a relatively crappy week. Thanks my dear girl.... :)

It funny how I have learnt some of life's most important lessons from the strangest of sources. Yesterday as I waiting for the bus on my way back home, there was this black cat perched on a ledge above the bus stop. Initially I didn't take too much notice of it, I so often see cats my neighbor has like a dozen or so. Then this guy probably around my age went up to the cat and started stroking it. The cat seemed so happy purring and cuddling up towards his arm. Soon after a girl arrived at the bus stop and she took notice of the cat too. By now the guy had left and the girl took some pictures of the cat and started stroking it too. The cat immediately jumped of the ledge and cuddled up at her feet. Somehow that still, that one scene seemed so heartwarming.

Fast forward to this morning. We were walking off to play soccer in camp and we saw this cat lying really still under a tree. Assuming that it was probably sleeping we carried on with our game. At the end of the game someone commented that the cat hadn't moved. Upon closer inspection the poor guy was dead.

I wondered if anyone had bothered to pat and stroke the cat like the one at the bus stop. Did the cat purr with happiness and satisfaction before it died? The act of stroking the cat was a simple and easy one but yet seemed to bring immense happiness and comfort.

Many times I look for complicated and extravagant ways of making those around me happy that I tend to forget that in the simplest of actions one experiences the purest of emotions. The simple act of sending me a message to show she still cared made me so happy. Well I hope I can find it in me to appreciate the beauty of a simple phone call, a hug, a message, even just a smile and share them abundantly with those I care for.
