Have you ever noticed?

Have you noticed the sparkle of a dew drop on the grass on a fresh chilly morning?
 Have you twirled your umbrella when it was drizzling and watched your friends getting irritated?
 Have you sat on the banks of a River quietly listening to the gurgling water?
 Have you heard the rusting of leaves on a breezy day?
 Have you felt the touch of the breeze on the seashore?
 Have you seen the trees shedding their flowers and leaves in autumn?
 Have you felt the warmth in the hug from your loved ones?
 Have you seen the innocence in the eyes of a puppy?
 Have you seen a bird feeding her little one?
 Have you seen how joyfully the butterfly flaps her colourful wings?
 Have you tried to burst a soap bubble?
 Have you tried to catch a feather before it falls on the ground?
 Have you smelled the fragrance of a blossoming flower?
 Have you felt the softness in the touch of a baby?
 Have you felt the pain of a goodbye?
 Have you felt happy after making someone happy?
Mother nature always tries to connect with you, take some time out, go and listen, she is trying to tell you something...
 The best things in life don't cost a single penny!
