One random day

There are times we decide to write for having something to give and there are other random days where we like to take something out of the writing experience. Today I guess is one such random day born out of the latter...
The feeling of regret has the potential to haunt for a lifetime, there is no way to escape this feeling until you step up and hold yourself responsible and hence face the consequences with the same responsibility.
Never mind, any day comes only to pass, but being yourself is more important. Invariably, it is these random days that help to build a stronger you....

Pain cannot kill you, only death can. Pain represents the life that is still in you, enjoy and cherish it.......  :-)

LAUGHTER IS THE SOUL'S MEDICINE!!

And then it is Winter

You know.. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

 

It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.

 

I know that I lived them all...

 

And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?

 

I remember well... seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like...

 

But, here it is... my friends are retired and getting grey... they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant... but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.

 

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day!And taking a nap is not a treat anymore.... it's mandatory!Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

 

And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!

 

But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... this I know, that when it's over.... its over... Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done.It's all in a lifetime...

 

So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly!Don't put things off too long!!

 

Life goes by quickly.So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!

 

You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life... so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember.... and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

 

"Life is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one."

 

Remember "It is health that is the real wealth."

A Poison tree

“A Poison Tree,”  is a poem by William Blake where the tree is used as an extended metaphor, to explain a truth of human nature. This poem teaches how anger can be dispelled by goodwill or nurtured to become a deadly poison. 
Here it goes,

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

William Blake

This is such a wonderful demonstration of how we let and nurture hatred and anger inside us. As Buddha says, Holding on to Anger is like holding a hot coal road in an intention to throw it at someone else, but eventually we are the one who gets burnt. The life that is around and inside us can get way better by getting rid of these self-poisoning attributes.
