The Results Are Out! - Lessons of Life
Its a year since we started this blog (july 2008) and we have 350 entries ..Great going.
I guess this is one of the factors that keep us happy and grounded and maybe, secure. So lets stay this way.connected.
Happy people about happiness!
`Always look on the bright side of life ... Babu
Anything may happen anytime.. people will change … so enjoy life.. dont take things seriously why kavalai??? - Sajit
Happiness lies in what you have got. And not in what you feel have lost. -Kalai
Be happy with what you have while striving for better things -Kapu
Highly philosophical
In life nothing is permanent. so making far fetched plans ahead can be redundant sometimes. Life itself is only a phase that we pass through so as long as we at are it, I believe we live righteously.
In short love and be loved.

Lessons from living
This morning I realized two lessons about life:
1) I have done a lot of living and and now its time to listen to my body and take more care - recovery is much slower
2) I may be bursting with plans for the day but I can put them aside and do other things which are as gladdening - I just have to spend a little time and thought
Both are interconnected of course. Yesterday, I had done more cooking than usual because Ramesh was expected; started a new painting on one bit of wall and made some changes in the garden which involved shifting some pots.
I went to bed with the happiness that I would be doing all this and more today- the monthly shopping; some more sorting out of books and so on.
But this morning I found I could hardly use one arm and leg. Obviously, I had been doing things I shouldn't yday. And now I can't be doing things I should. So take-it-easy day .
unfinished business that can wait
Im adding a pic to give the idea of unfinished work that hangs over our heads when we can't do it but we can happily gloss over when we can do it.
As I was making idlies with the left hand - its really very clumsy; one should use it more often- I was thinking of the lesson its teaching me . And suddenly the idea came to me that I should ask other people too what lessons they've learnt.
so I started sending out sms' and got some replies which cheered me up immensely.
In the process the idlies got a bit overcooked but never mind.
The replies in the next post... But please whoever is reading this send in yours too.
