Every little things

In an evening, while sitting back in a cab that brought us home, i had a simple conversation with my assistant, a 45 year old lady.

She told me:
"you see, i lived in a house with 3 precious girls in my life. One, is my mom, who regardless her inability to walk or speak more than a word, which she used to explain anything that she wanted to say by that only word, is actually very sweet, caring, passionate woman i've ever known in my entire life. Second, is my seventy five year old aunty with an IQ of 5 year old kid, but whose heart is warmer, honest, and somehow wiser than most of intellectual people out there, because she found out he true meaning of happiness, which made her always grateful towards everything every single things, no matter how small it is. And the third is my maid's 4 year old daughter who has some kind of deficiency in expressing words, which doctor explain as nerve problem, making it hard for people to understand what she was trying to say, except my mom and my aunty. For some reason, and only God knows, these three remarkable girls are somehow connected. Unexpectedly, they could understand each other very well. I encountered one evening, where i just went back home, watching three of them laughing towards each other. They were chatting, saying things that sounds like alien words to me. But strangely, they could understand each other's word, and laughed as if they heard some kind if jokes, their only definition of joke. Im standing there, thinking is it me or them who's not normal here? But looking at their happy expression, i couldn't help but thinking, what's the matter? A lot of people with money, power, intelligence and ability to talk fluently, still couldn't understand each other, nor do they respect one to another, But my wonderful three girls, is the proof, that no matter their weaknesses, they still can share love and joy to others. And yes, i'm very grateful for the opportunity i had to live and learn from these wonderful girls every single day."

ps: That day i was reminded of one important thing that always be forgotten in my hectic life. That we can get happiness simply by feeling grateful to every single things in our life..
