Just happiness

I just spent the past hour browsing through the yellow and sticky old photo albums with my mum. I never knew such simple pleasures could be derived from equally unassuming treasures. Laughing and recounting the memories, it dawned on me once again how 20 years have passed so quickly. I saw myself in the old photos, when I was just nine, or ten. Would I have ever known who I would be ten years down? That ignorant and contented glaze staring back at me from the photo somehow soothed me. Suddenly all material wants dissipated.. all I want is my family to remain together and to savour more happy memories to come.
