Simple acts of kindness@

She loved her family but was feeling apathetic now. She had been taken for granted, disregarded, and used if not manipulated and she was angry! Not at them but at herself for having allowed herself to be treated like that. She had stretched herself and burnt herself out. That none of them, intelligent and capable individuals, as they were, had the common sense nor willingness to collaborate with her, was no surprise. Why would they invite trouble for themselves! Well, it was time for a disruption. She takes off on a trip to get some solitude and recover herself.

Hey! In the recent past I have been infected by this bug which keeps giving me an urge to write. I had started writing at least 3-4 stories which stopped midway still awaiting their completion. I keep making some mental drafts which are yet to be penned down too. Finally, today I got this inspiration for writing a short story. I feel this needs to be a part of a series with the theme being a snapshot into some very ordinary lives. This is one of my favorite themes! I truly feel there is glory in ordinary lives. True love. Happiness , Contentment, Humanness are all more prevalent in these so-called ordinary lives. The lives of the kind of people who live next door or who you meet in public transport or at a traffic signal. I wrote the first such story today. Obviously, this has not been professionally edited and spruced up, Hence may be filled with flaws. I am hoping to create a few more such stories capturing many facets of normal and ordinary human lives, Then I hope to string them together like an anthology. Keeping my fingers crossed! Pardon the flaws in this amateur attempt.
