· The sun is out today, its warm and I am producing vitamin D.. It feels so good.. I will be basking under it in a little while from now.. Yay!! Life is Good.
· I spoke to my Father this morning and Felt good about how far he has come since my Mother’s passing. He seemed a lot more jovial(unless it’s the drink he had)than usual. We actually had a good laugh at some of the times we recollected from memory.
· I wonder why we don’t remember an event the same way as the others who were present at the Event? Makes me wonder about what Really happened.
· Its been warmer than usual at this time of the year, this year. Is that the Global warming that the Climatologists are talking about?
· I got a few books by Thich Nhat Hanh, its something I rely on(apart from rituals and chores) when I seem to get to a point in life where none of the things I do, satisfy me.
· I need a full time job, and I need to get off my backside and really make an effort at it.
· My husband fixed our leaky faucets and I am so proud of him, yeah I understand its not a big deal but when you have been looking at the leaky faucet for over a month and then when you took it apart you couldn’t figure out how to fix it(which is what I did), it becomes a big deal when its fixed and doesn’t leak…Its Relative Joy folks :P
Note to self : Don’t try picking apart something that doesn’t have a manual that comes with it :P
· Today, I have “Carry over” chores from yesterday since my children had a holiday yesterday and we spent time goofing off together. It felt good. Note to self : Become a kid with the children when you need a little fun in life. Remember to acknowledge how much joy they bring into your life.
· I realize I have self-imposed rules that don’t always resonate with what I really want, and making the “to do list” is one of them, I should learn to let it go… Don’t you hate it when you cant give up something your rational knows is not working for you?
· I like my coffee…I think next to water and tender-coconut milk, coffee is one of the Best things nature has given us. Does having one 6 oz cup in every morning mean I am addicted? Could drinking one cup a day be called an addiction? Hmm… I am not stealing money yet to get my coffee.

no...you are not addicted to coffee! I might be I need at least three big cups a day...self imposed rules...they are usually strongers than the others aren't they? oh yeah! lets become kids for at least ten minutes oer day...for a start! my faucet is still leaking, and has been for 6 months...i dutifully empty the small tupperware i use to collect the water everyday, last night I told my husband, if you cannot do it I can call my dad...this is my last resort let's see what will happen...I need a part time job...I work too much...ylou are right we do not all see things with the same eyes...and time add to the differece between two versions of the same story...are you still working with beads?
Not recently, I havent made any bracelets(which I seem to enjoy more) or ear-rings...I think I should make more.
The self-imposed rules are stronger.. I am the kind that cant stop feeling misery if I dont finish the jobs I thought I should get done in the day.
i know what you mean...well I must be older than you cause little by little i am getting comfortable at leaving the work place even if I haven't done everything perfectly!
fixing a leaky faucet is a big deal...
I have ruined a few things by picking them apart
Thich Nhat Hanh...what I have seen quoted from him is wonderful, keep us posted on the books
I want to quit my part time job and just stay home LOL no chance of that happening
P.S. coffee addiction? nah
I got his books on Anger and another on Power.. and so far(just a few pages I read from both) I like what I am reading.
if we lived closer we could share books, we seem to have the same taste :)
Oh we could have gone for walks too and have lots of food recipes cooked and tested on each other.. and definitely coffee :)
Coffee...perk...did someone say coffee??? ;) Not to worry, you are not adddicted...I AM lol.
I think we all have our own truth, and perception is a factor, which is why one event is seen differently by different folks. It makes one's truth no less true, I believe.
As for rules, some were meant to be broken or discarded...just sayin' ;).
It is warmer where you are??? Colder here. Go figure ;).
I cannot repair a faucet, but you can bet I know how to unclog an espresso machine!
I love my coffee too Rashmi and goofing off with the kids is such a buzz for me too.
Every time I read you thoughts here I think to myself..wow Rashmi has such great insight.....
Big Smiles...From Me.
*giggling* at the Perk..
I agree that we perceive differently. When I compared notes with my Dad, it seemed like he remembers stuff very differently than I did especially when we were all in that event at the same time. So I wondered if we didnt feel anything or judge any of those events, what was the EVENT? What really Happened before we added our spices to it?
LOL at unclogging espresso machines.. Guess, necessity makes learning anything easy, I missed the opportunity to fix the faucet (giggles)
We should get together for Coffee ;) and have kids around too so we can Be :).
I have only one cup of coffee too, usually.
I love sunshine but the increasing numbers of people i know who are developing skin cancer has me a little weary. Great news your dad is coping well it takes time i guess. Yay for the leaky faucet fixed i hate that too !I agree to having fun with the kids, you know when i was a kid so many adults wouldn't explain things to me, it really upset me so i told myself i would remember that and when i had kids of my own i would listen to them and explain the why u should or shouldn't do this , be more sensitive to their feelings, having fun with them is also a big plus ! Oh i love my coffee in the mornings too ! have a great day ! hugssssss
