Just thinking....

Not like I don't know this. Not like this brilliant thought occurred to me for the first time. But it does not strike me when I need it the most! I've been complaining here for as long as I can remember. From my tooth, to my job, to my life. I doubt I've spared anything or anyone! But all my "problems" seem so very trivial when I look at the problems others that I know and don't know face on a daily basis. I have a very blessed life in comparison.

The book that I was referring to (The Road Less Traveled) started by saying

 "Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."

Whoever said it's going to be easy. We're all in it together. It is so comforting when people reach out to you, and at times go out of their way to make it easier for you. The hope that one day everything will be ok is so crucial for existence. That one day, everything will work out for good. Whether it does, or it doesn't, remains to be seen. But whatever happens, you end up accepting whatever is dealt to you and move ahead. Living is moving on. And not stagnating. It's accepting the change and not resisting it with all your might. (As you can see the book has majorly rubbed off on me, hence the unsolicited gyan(knowledge))

This moment is all that we have. We don't know if the future will turn out the way we want it to. We don't know whether the people who are so important to us today will be with us tomorrow. Do I sense an element of worry here? A wee bit yes. If I could I'd freeze this time for eternity. I don't wish to let even a single drop of unadulterated happiness slip away. I also know it's not possible :-) God has been more than kind in the past few days. Everything that has been happening off late strengthens my belief that if you ask Him with a pure heart and your asking will do you good, He never denies you. And no, you don't have to nag him. He listens :-)

I read somewhere that coincidences and chance happenings reveal the will of God. Someday I will elaborate on it and tell you why I believe this so :-)

I think the mini vacation did me a world of good. A week of doing nothing! Coming home felt so good. To a place you call your own. To a place that you missed sorely. To people who love you dearly. 

To all those you love, don't waste time keeping your thoughts in your head. Tell them so. You can't be sure they'd be with you for life. I wish they would. But why take a chance and die with regrets.

I am sure I've inundated you with stuff you knew, but that's me! For everyone who prayed that my happiness bubble doesn't burst, here's a heartfelt Thank you! Loads of love, happiness and peace to each of you
