Being the happiest.....

Today I feel like writing.....

I am the kind who gets most excited about my birthdays.I often think about the feeling of being loved. It is truly amazing. Birthdays are often a time for such an experience. The thought about my coming Birthday cheers me up thoroughly. I feel important and loved.
I used to think that I was the only person who thought that way when I came across other people who shared the same thoughts as mine .
It was a different occasion this time. It was my friend's birthday.
All of us decided to give her a small surprise. We planned it out quite well and were wishing it would make her happy. It worked just as we thought. The glint and shine in her eyes gave a new path to my thoughts. My friend was really happy. Her smile and happiness made me experience a new feeling, "The happiness in giving!"
Having always dreamt of being on the receiving end of surprises, I, for the first time, felt happy that I was part of making some one else so happy. I felt it was worth all the trouble taken because nothing ,indeed ,could match the happiness that one could give to an another person. It was just another birthday! But this time a new experience.
Proverbs have talked about 'giving being more important than taking'. But I used to think otherwise. I felt I would be much more happier if someone would give me a surprise. But trust me, I know how it feels to give little happiness to someone because it makes you feel the happiest!
