My niece Riley dreamed of getting a puppy for her birthday...when she got home from school this is what she found!
Riley bawled for 20 minutes and kept saying "Is this for real?"
I found these emotive photos on Flickr 2 days ago...and when I laid my eyes on one of the photos I started to cry. I still can't look at these photos without crying. Pure happiness. Her dream came true. Enough for emotions to overcome you.
That made me ask myself when was the last time I cried from happiness? Yes, I cried from laughter, but that's somehow 'lesser' feeling than happiness.
Is that feeling reserved for innocent and those with 'small and simple' wishes? As we grow up we become so involved into 'survival', race for career and reaching the world's newest standards so it's never enough, we're never happy...
It's a gift being able to be happy with some simple things...coffee in the sunshine, being with your friends, walking in the beautiful nature...That doesn't mean we have to exclude other things, 'more imoportant' ones. But just to enjoy these small ones too.
