Life is full of good things - Day4

Trying my best to pick out all the good moments from today.

1. I'm damn sleepy, but my strong resolve made me create this blog. Another example of my strength. If only I apply it for few times, I'd be close to being perfect ! he he he !
2. Made mom happy by taking her to the Ashtalakshmi temple she has been asking for. The temple houses different Lakshmis along with Perumal, Anjenaya etc. The temple is undergoing renovation currently. Quite a few narrow staircases and thankfully, very few visitors when we went and hence had a peaceful darshan at all sannithis.
3. Relatively less traffic on the return route and visited Pratiyangira temple as well. This was a surprise for me as I couldn't go the last time when parents made a visit. This temple has very different types of statues and huge idols. The priests were full of devotion when compared to the commercialised temples. May She give me the strength I need !

I stop here for today though the list is small today! Had a difficult discussion at work today and that mood had spilled over. Tomorrow is a different day!

Life is full of good things - Day3

Due to tiredness, I couldn't enter the great moments of yesterday though I had mentally prepared the post.

1. Its still weekend and with that thought, I dint get out of bed till 9 am! After a long time.
2. Was feeling feverish and so lazed the entire day with yummy meal breaks. Am glad that I dint fall sick.
3. Had a leisurely walk in the park late evening.
4. It's friendship day :-)
   

Life is full of good things - Day2

Today has been an eventful day. Though there were few events which made life more challenging, I want to remind myself of the good things that brought solace and comfort.

1. Shopping till the legs got tired. I purchased cosmetics after years I should say. Though the prices have skyrocketed, I was happy to buy the different brands under one roof. :D
2. Met a friend's friend, a jolly go lucky person. Feels good to meet new people.
3. Though it was already late in the night, my mom gave me the option of dining out. Appreciate her confidence in me.
4. When a drunkard rammed his bike into our car damaging the headlights, the mob dint shout at us. By God's grace, all are safe. Thank you my Lord!
5. We immediately got down from the car and called friends. 4 of them came immediately and helped us back into our senses and dropped me home. Bless them.

I'm drowsy after a tiring day. Looking forward for a better tomorrow ;-)

Life is full of good things - Day1

I loved a friend's post and got inspired to write about the good things that happen to us, on a daily basis for a week. I have cribbed about issues, wondered about happenings and questioned a lot of things. For a change, I want to appreciate the small small things all around me. One's life is full of nice moments and good omens only if we care to notice.
So, here is my first attempt to list the nice feelings all through the day

1. Its Friday -the beginning of a weekend brightens the mood and puts a smile on the face :-)
   
2. Hot, yummy and timely food prepared my mommy dear - three times a day! What more to ask for. Blissful.
   
3. Cool breeze, evening rain and a pleasant weather in owise hot Chennai. It gave an opportunity to bring back mother from her walk. Refreshing feeling.
   
4. Someone visited me late in the evening though he was busy. Felt great to see u.
5. Brother called amidst his struggle with month end targets. Bless him.
   
6. Felt good to read my friend's blog and thought abt her and some happy moments together. Maybe, I should write to her. Will I?
   
7. Writing this post and hoping to write more. Be happy!
   

Nobody to talk to...

One of those times when nobody seems to be interested in talking. That does not necessarily mean that there is nobody around! Its only that there are no topics of common interest or indifferent moods! Add to this the situation that people whom you call are not picking and nobody else also calls you!
:-(

Thank God for internet!

Is it late to make a new year resolution?

It again dawned on me today that I need to mellow down a lot. I badly want to get rid of the kind of anger or rather I would say ‘irritation’ that seems to have grown along with me and threatens to spoil the inner peace. I remember a lot of incidents and situations of late which I could have handled in a much better and smoother way, provided I had retained my cool. It is high time I stop being cynical and learn to appreciate things the way they are.

Its never too late for a resolution ;-)


BTW, for the maths puzzle, the answer is: I got the berth ;-)

Now I'm puzzled abt the return ticket! Fingers remain crossed.

Here's a maths puzzle...

What is the probability of getting a berth in tonight train when the current status is RAC3 ?
- It is for 2nd AC coach
- There is only one train that covers this destination and also some key places in the route
- It is the weekend beginning
- There is the festival week ahead

And a positive factor that I'm a
- Single lonely woman passenger ;-)

Keeping fingers crossed!

Welcome 2010

Wish you all a very happy, prosperous, healthy & safe year ahead!

One of the resolutions for this year is to blog more frequently this year !
Keeping fingers crossed.

BTW, I donot have any other resolutions to break ;-)

Have fun!
