Thought Of The Day

  Saturday -- Beautiful sunny morning 19 C will be 33 later in the afternoon. It is 9.15, I have the whole day to do things, whatever I want. Mornings are like clean slate. We are at liberty to write anything on, paint any picture, to beautify our day.  I am done with my breakfast, enjoying morning tea, sitting in my TV lounge. Sports Channel is on. My son watching Highlights of some Hockey game. Toronto Maple Leaf team is out but Playoff season is on. I am watching that and also enjoying the beautiful view of my back garden.  My youngest daughter just called from Reading. She loves gardening, showing me her beautiful flowers of orange, yellow, purple white and of so many other colors. She was proudly showing her kitchen garden plants. Full of blooming tomatoes, cucumbers, Mint and other Herbs. It was very hot in England, yesterday was thunder, I don't know what is the weather today. May be they got some relief. Most of the places, there is no AC, so tough to handle hot d...

Start your day with some happiness Anything like listening some beautiful song watching flowers from your window  or bird watch . It will make your day First thing in the morning I check Hits on my Daily Blog after that lie down for a while on my bedroom carpet  to feel the Earth power These things bring calm and happiness to my heart A good start to face my day Take a good start and then let the things happen to take their course . Some of the things we face in our day to day life, are in our control ,we can tackle with our emotional check and balance experience within our own power but most of the times things go wrong not as we like to see In those situations we loose grip on our emotions It can go worse ending up ruining no t only our day but sometimes the whole week We have to be very careful with those tricky situations Deal them calmly and don't react at first place Think twice before you speak Try not to make any...

I was in my House  looking at all the cluttered Mail at the corner of my kitchen counter The overflowing refrigerator  papers on my writing desk and on top my loaded wardrobe Shoe rack flooded and I don't want to talk about my coat closet  I know they all need sorting and lot of things need to be recycled or has to go to garbage So many times when I enter  my house it looks as if I don't live here I think we have to keep promise to ourselves when we buy anything, we have to give a way one of that thing from our old stock to keep the balance  But we always forget that Golden Recipe We just get carried away when we go to shopping We forget that our clothes, shoes everything is a lready piling up in our house and we don't need anything no space for that We don't want to give away anything we attach stickers of memories to save everything I keep reminding myself this Summer will be it so let's see ...

It was September 1993 I was taking refuge from the Chilly winter of Ottawa Coming back from Oxfam where I was volunteering at that time It was windy and temperature 40 below zero In the downtown Ottawa  I was waiting for bus # 95 in the bus shelter I met Sultan, he was from Africa and of the age of my son For some reason I always try to get in touch with immigrants of any age from any country In the heart of heart I feel we all are in need of some sort of dialogue any dialogue looking and waiting to communicate In my opinion every human is a  seeking soul  wandering for love and affection sometimes we don't know the language still feel connected Smile the universal language always comes to our rescue It is always there To help everyone and To console 

Being human is a  guest house every morning  a new arrival A joy, a depression a meanness some momentary awareness knocks our door, they have to come in we can not stop any of these arrivals Some of them are wanted but most of them unwanted we have no choice so welcome and entertain them all treat each like a guest Meet them at the door  laughing and invite them in with Grace  be grateful for whoever comes because each one has been sent from Beyond Try to recognize the power of emotions don't be afraid struggle is where our courage is tested courage is contagious be brave and try to rise after a fall If you want to be brave you have to choose courage  ignore the signal " What people think " Stop caring about that Creativity is when we are learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands
