"All The Small Things"

All the small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride best trip

Always I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na, na...

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
Surprises, let me know she cares

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na, na...

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

This song by Blink 182 hands down was my most favorite song when I was in secondary school. In fact it still is. It does not fail to lift my spirit even now when I hear it playing on the radio. Why? For the obvious reasons. Small things are what matters most in life. 

A smile from a loved one. 

Simple home cooked food. 

This breathtaking view. 

Often in live, we over-look these small things as something trivial. We forget to stop and smell the flower once in awhile (literally). 

We forget to let go of the past, of the betrayals. We forget to be thankful for who we are now. For what we have now. For how far we have come. We forget the inner child in us. 

I've always learnt to appreciate the small things in my life and to never worry myself about things that I don't or can't have. 

A kite-flying experience (failed miserably when I was a kid to fly a kite, so made The Husband to teach me now). :-) 

Chilling by the pool with the loved ones. 

Indulging in a cup of Frap whenever possible. :P

These are simple things, really. But these are the things that we take for granted. 

The ever-loving family that waits for you at home. 

The dependable friend who is willing to do anything for you and with you. 

The colleague who is there for you when you need to b*tch about your boss. :-)

The simple joy of having a scrumptious meal. 

We often waste our times worrying about things that we can't or don't have instead of just enjoying whatever we have at the moment. We compare ourselves with others, we lament on our 'poor' lives without realizing that there are people who are in worse situation than we are. 

Always remember, if you think your house is too small, there are many people who sleep on the streets at night. 

Always remember, if you think you don't have enough money, there are many people who have not seen a RM10 note for a long time. 

Always remember, if you think your job is tough and that it sucks, there are many people who are jobless and who would do anything to have your job. 

Always remember, if you always fight with your husband/wife/family/friends, be thankful that you have so many people and not the lonesome soul like some. 

Always remember that life is tough but you can be tougher. 

After all, it's the small the things that matters the most.
