    Thanks so much Mindi. Isn't it simply wonderful when the realization dawns that one does not have to do anything special to be happy?

    That picture - yes, I can never stop being amazed by it. :)

    Satchi,
    A very motivating one, indeed, that too in the beginning of the week and at my early hours.
    You had got the message right, stand and glare..and I am happy for you, as you take the situations come your way in the right spirit. :thumbsup: and make us think on your lines. :)

    That was very beautifully said satchitananda. It truly needs to be understood and implemented to make life a lot easier and happier than we can think. We've got to stop and see what we have.
    Thank you for the wise words and wish you all the best. :)
    Read about your surgery in iyerviji's post. Hope you get through this and get better..I won't say soon..why hurry everything in life..Take your time and hope to see you again all healthy.

    Dear Satchi ..Such a lovely post and a timely one too..as I watch my children grow up and I realize I have but only few years left before I will have an empty nest I wonder where the time went.It would do us all good if we can only pause and savor each moment of life .I am reminded of William Henrys
    "
    What is this life if, full of care,
    We have no time to stand and stare.
    No time to stand beneath the boughs
    And stare as long as sheep or cows.
    No time to see, when woods we pass,
    Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
    No time to see, in broad daylight,
    Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
    No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
    And watch her feet, how they can dance.
    No time to wait till her mouth can
    Enrich that smile her eyes began.
    A poor life this if, full of care,
    We have no time to stand and stare.
    "

    Very true Jag. Time indeed is fleeting and waits for no one. The only time we have is now. Enjoy the moment, be happy in this moment and one's entire life will be happy. This is my favourite poem and I used to identify with the feelings expressed therein to the fullest extent. It is so nice now to be able to say that I really do have all the time in the world to stand and stare. :) Shall enjoy it while it lasts and make sure that even if not all the time, I always have at least some time each day to do so.

    Dear dear Satchi.........:)

    A beautiful mind only can churn out a beautiful post like this..........:bowdown!!!!!

    Just loved every word of it dear.....:thumbsup.!!!

    I was musing sometime back.....:coffee

    These days, even vacations have become hectic.....more planning.....more shopping.....more anxiety - to not miss any thing special to be seen......:confused2::drowning

    'Staycation'.......at the luxury of our home.........has lot more for us to relax....and be refreshed......:coffee

    Our mother nature makes sure that each day is unique and special.......

    The first thing that I see every morning......
    A view of distant hills from my patio.......and each day gives me a different and spectacular view.....
    One day it would be pink.....with rays of morning sun....
    The other day it would be foggy.....
    Another day....with clouds playing hide and seek.........precious moments....:)

    I thank our mother nature, for the simple pleasures she gives us every day......and...
    I thank you for this fabulous, beautiful post my dear Satchi.....:thumbsup
