What Has Changed?

This morning when I was walking from the parking lot, I was so preoccupied. I barely noticed people smiling at me, wishing me good morning…I artificially wished back while my thoughts were filled with all the tasks that I was supposed to complete this day, status updates, follow ups, lined up issues etc. After a minute, I felt that something falling over my face and I realized it was drizzling. Something just snapped inside me…how much I used to love the drizzling… how much I would enjoy looking up the sky, letting the drops fall on my face.
I was thinking about all those little joys that I loved – rain, soft breeze, sound of leaves on a windy day, sun set, full moon…arrrrgggh… I just couldn’t remember any more. I know I used to appreciate lots of little things and I couldn’t list more than a few? What has changed in me? Am I become too artificial? Got lost into the world of maturity?
