Dear Vijiakka,

A very sound words of wisdom from you to lead the life counting the blessings and practice simplicity. I am not tired of saying this many times and I have to say it again that your husband is a great example of how to lead a simple life focusing the attention to serve others. Simplicity can be achieved from having what we need to lead our daily lives instead of having what we want.

My father led a very simple life as well. He taught me how simple life is all in the mind and to become a trustee of everything we possess. The contentment comes naturally as we achieve our goals in life.

Viswa

This I learnt from my husband who leads a simple life, doing.social service and never expecting anything from anyone. Because he saved for the future by spending only for what is necessary we are able to live peaceful retired life. Sometimes I feel we should save for the future but we should enjoy our life also. Each one's way of thinking is different

Kudos to you. You had beautifully explained how simplicity leads to peaceful robust life in later years .
2. Every moment humans are blessed by the Unknown. If we encounter problem one after another it is because of blessings in the previous moment(s).
3. Otherwise how to explain persons caliber and or behaviour sans experience.
4. So it follows every problem or difficulty or hurdle or puzzle is truly blessing of God accounted in His book KARMA or more correctly said Prarabhtha karma.
5. With this thought in mind, whoever proceeds with actions shall reap rich rewards later but not belated.

I wish to add to my above FB:
2. Inside the cocoon the grotesque looking caterpillar under metamorphosis soon turns into beautiful butterfly in about 21 days. During this transformation, it must be kicking or flapping its fragile wings several hundreds of times to break the cocoon to come out to freedom and fly.

3. But if some samaritan seeing the plight of butterfly-in-the-making helps it by breaking the cocoon and let it free, the butterfly soon collapses. Why?

4. Yes - You guessed it right. The flapping inside cocoon is to make the wings strong and steady. The seemingly hardship designed for its strength. So also in other beings, The Great Designer created the in built mechanism called -hardship for its future strength and vigour.

5. Therefore hence life seemed to entail hardship.

Regards.
God is the greatest designer.

So true Vijima. Sometimes we fail to count our blessings and constantly keep cribbing about things which we don’t have. Having a peaceful retired life is also blessing

"Sometimes they show their anger to their parents as they know they will understand."

This line really caught my attention, we as children should really stop doing that. understood this when my mom made it very clear and gave me good piece of her mind" lats time when i tried to tease her something unnecessary.

for the first time i told my brother that i was scared of mom...like really scared.

As always sweet post ViJi mA! the pearls of wisdom are neatly hidden for readers to chose and take /decide.
