What a feeling!
Last week I was with my husband, daughter and sister in Dubai. It was an amazing trip thanks to our dearest friend bassi who was with us everyday and who had planned a wonderful program for us.
I truly enjoyed it. But what i enjoyed most was watching the people around me enjoying themselves. I did not know how much fun it is to watch someone having fun and enjoying something so much. I loved watching my husband look at something with so much fascination and joy. I loved watching him and my sister laughing at the top of their lungs just throwing snow at each other. I loved watching my daughter so happy just riding a rocking pony or holding on tight yet grinning while sitting in a swing. I loved watching my friend's face while laughing at jokes from our anecdotes from back home.
It all makes me wish like i could do something to see happiness on someone's face.
I've always known that making people happy is a good thing... but watching a face lit up with happiness is just priceless. i remember once of thinking that i should buy a 100 chocolate bars or whatever i can afford and just give it away to any child i see on the street. My thoughts usually start small like that and then my imagination goes up a notch like making a colorful full of balloons stand in a poor area with little toys and candies for kids who pass by. EVen though i then realized that in this part of the world you'd better be on the move giving out things to people who you feel deserve a little happiness in the day coz ofcourse every single person would jump on you if you were in a stand somewhere.
I think i will do something like that very soon. I hope its a simple thought that anyone can implement at some point. Try it and watch the smiles.

Loved your thoughtful little ways and I really hope you go ahead and implement them before you get caught up in something or the other, or dismiss the idea altogether. You have definitely inspired me to lighten up someone's day:)
