What does it take to enjoy and be happy ???

It was just another hot afternoon in summer,temperature above 40 degree celcius each day !!! so,naturally,to cool down and to make everyone chill at home,i went to buy icecream today and what i saw there was just fun !!!! A group of ladies,around 15-20 in number, most of them in their mid 40's, were there to have ice-cream and to my surprise, these ladies were freaking out,literally !!! In the middle of ice-cream shop,these ladies were laughing full voice,shouting,playing pranks on each other,were commenting and even a bit of ridicule to add to their enjoyment !!!! Utter chaos !!!! Even the shopkeeper and owner were stunned to see those ladies !!!! They were enjoying just like any one in his/her late teens would do,really, doing all the things as we all do when we are with our friends !!! Everyone seemed very very happy and though i was not the part of the group,i enjoyed just being there !!!! For those moments, the bearing of "age" and "social behaviour" ,was not there,what was there -was sheer and boundless enjoyment !!!!
That time,i thought ,it's upto our will -how much we enjoy ,how much we embrace a moment and make the fullest of it to be happy.We regret we lost our childhood,our teens and all fun ,all leisure,all laughter and yes,the long happy hours spent with friends too... But these women at their fourtees,each with woes and worries at home ,may be at heart,still enjoying those small,little cheers of life reminded me-age,work ,worries cast no obstacles if we really wish to enjoy......Many a times ,it does not require anyone else when we start enjoying ourselves and the circumstances....It's really us- the creator of happy times and memories as well.... It does not take anything more than our wish to create cheerful moments for ourselves and may we involve others in being happy too !!!!! We must not wait for someone else or a particular situation to make us happy or to enjoy but must give ourselves that freedom to create such smiling moments out of any situation that comes across us!!!! Bestow laughters on ourselves,we deserve them !!!!!!!
