Move Your Chair To The Window

Image
  Bright beautiful morning. It is 9.30, I am just done with my breakfast. I use to enjoy my morning tea in my renovated backyard. I don't want to miss the beautiful moments of it's transformation. The stages, the step by step changes, happening to it, to be emerged, one day into my back garden. Sitting in my backyard, on my newly built deck, watching all this, gives me power to strengthen my belief that patience is virtue. Never give up, just relax and wait for things, to emerge in the due course of time. Don't panic. Don't lose hope. Hope is everything to keep you motivated. Patience and hope, are key, the great weapons to fight against negative thoughts. These are best tools to rectify and eradicate our low feeling and self pity. Great help to manage our life, to direct our lives into the right direction.  Try to distract yourselves from something, which needs time to be resolved. Focus on the matters in hand, which need to be done right away. Keep yourselves busy. Fo...

Don't Look for Genie

Image
  Monday -- Bright beautiful sunny morning 23 C will be 37 later in the afternoon. It looks like a usual summer morning with sun in full bloom. Life is the same with minor changes. We have to make it exciting, have to give colors, to make our life wonderful. No Genie will come to our rescue. It happens only in Fairy tales, not in real life. Don't have to wait for miracles. We have to take it as our duty to divert our mind towards, thinking something positive. Distract ourselves from negatives thoughts. Mornings are the key, face of our days, which ultimately are compiled into the story books of our lives. We have to start our day with anything, which can put smile on our faces to brighten our day. Before starting your day, get your body ready for the day. Do some light exercise, depending, what goes with your body. Don't have to overdo. Still do something to give a wake up call to your body, to stimulate your mind, to take actions to direct your body, to do things for the day. ...

Waiting for the Next Episode

Image
  Sunday -- Beautiful hot morning 22 C now, will be 39 later in the afternoon. Last night I was having good sound sleep. It doesn't happen so often. I got up early, at 4 in the  morning. I was in the middle, enjoying my beautiful dream. I pushed myself back, to try some sleep to continue that.  I wanted to watch that, complete to the end. But during my sleep, there was something else to watch, not  the next episode.  Anyway I was happy, satisfied, no regrets.  I tired.  I think if we want something, we have to try to accomplish, to achieve that. After that we don't feel dejected. We accept the outcome and move on. Case is closed. We go to the next chapter, to write our book, the story of our life. Our day to day activities are sort of the pages, we go on printing to compile in the form of our book, the story of our life. Everyone is busy in the printing press, I think the press is this world of ours, we live in.We are free to pick and choose, what to w...

We never know which is the last leg  of our life This is in God hand  for each and everyone of us Still there is time when we think now time for our next generations  to take the stage And we should be on back seat It is a hard fact but is  reality W e have to accept it face it with grace We are now no more the same  integral  part of our family our power of decision making is  slipping away Kids growing up fast  have their own activities and no time to talk and communicate Looks like, we no more relate  to them and they have to make efforts to keep the connection  alive We are on different  wave length most of the time Radar problem It is not only the  generation gap But we are not ready to exit In some of those moments  I reluctantly tried to find my refuge  and fortunately ended up in Library Being Human we always need to talk and communicate we are social anima...
