Sun is here...a mid summer thought

Hello summer!!!

So at last the hide and seek is over and the summer is fully here.its time to swap jumpers and cardigans with tees and skirts.Time to bid adieu to the winter wardrobe and shed those extra layers of clothing.

Summer is always very close to my heart.Those rays of shine gently spreading across.I am a summer person like many of you here.Summer is unbelievably a visual treat.

Life's been busy over the last few weeks,so my blog spot was also hibernating.I have just pressed the pause button to the hustle/ bustle of my life and here I am with my first blog post in the last three months and what else would it be about than my beloved summer.

Just went on a stroll outside and was fascinated by the beauties of Mother Nature,twittering of birds,blooming flowers,lush green trees,God is undeniably a master artist to create this world so beautiful.

I also thank God for letting me live my life to enjoy this summer,life is a precious gift of God,enjoy every moment,we may never know tomorrow may come or not.All we have is today,fill your day with gratitude,gratitude for what you have,fill your day with love,love for every one around you,fill your day with smile,as smile is infectious,do some random acts of kindness,the list goes on.

I filled my special pot with hot camomile tea as I sit in my balcony to have a good look on the stunning views outside.I have not filled my calendar with too many todo list today as this is the time to pause,to live in the moment and embrace whatever feeling that comes to my mind.

Embrace every mood,be fully present in your life.Enjoy your life before it's slip away as Life is to live.

Valentines day-a date with myself

A date with myself- valentines day

February - valentines day is round the corner, love is in the air, buy those special roses for that special someone, hearty dinner for two- what's all this hype about. Is valentine day a Commercialists con or a celebration of a heavenly bond?

Commercialists love affair with valentine day continue to raise despite its bad press among the mama bloggers, singletons and happily married couples.

What ever it is it is an another opportunity to celebrate love. One may argue that we need to celebrate love everyday , but even that be the case , it will be an occasion if we have the special day to celebrate the universal language of love.If love be the language there would be no war in the world and if one is in love with theme selves there is no defeat or heart break.No matter what we learn about love, it will continue to be one of the most meaningful and powerful forces on the planet, as it should be.Love it or hate it it's lovers day and it's here. I decided to celebrate it in a different way- celebrate my love for myself, the unique person I am as each one of us is.

I have read somewhere the key is knowing in your heart that the best way you can care for others is by caring for yourself. I know this requires a paradigm shift for many of us. Despite what we have been brought up to believe, Everyone benefits from someone who knows how to care for him or herself. Self-care sustains and enhances the health of all those around us. The flight attendants are right when they say: You have to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.

So here I am celebrating my special day with myself.
