Just About Everything

It’s nature.” – Shikoba “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” – Ashley Smith  These two beautiful quotes sum up exactly how I feel. Nature refreshes me and I can't have enough of it. I love spending time observing nature. The only side effect of drinking up this beauty is the feeling of immense joy:)                    The glorious Sun           ...

Dearest Daddy, The relationship that we have shared over the years has matured into something that is difficult to define, a relationship that is like no other, nothing, and nobody can quite replace it ever. As far as I can recollect, as a toddler, I was quite scared of you, because you were one disciplined person! The Army perhaps does that you, and it was implemented very well in our house. If you said something that was the ultimate, it had to happen. Running to Ma for help was very comforting, 'cause she is such a soft and loving person that I don't recollect her ever raising her voice. But the truth was if you said something, it had to happen. So if any of us did not have our food or were stubborn about anything, we did not stand a chance with you. Though now I know yours was just a tough exterior, after all bringing up four of us must have been tough for you and Ma. In spite of your tough attitude, you indulged us quite a lot! Going to the market with you was fun....

Negatives attract negatives and positives attract positives. Parents are the only people who love you unconditionally. We all need appreciation to grow.          A beautiful person is beautiful inside. Assertion and not aggression in handling people. The more you run away from fear the more it chases you. Kind gestures can keep a relationship alive. Conscience may stop us from moving forward but wins us good friends for a lifetime! (A good night's sleep above all) A 'thank you' not said timely loses its value. Hope is the connecting word between today and tomorrow. Perfection has different meanings for different people. No matter how much you avoid getting involved in other people's lives they will drag you into their lives anyway. It is a good idea to scream out loud now'n'then. Faith makes all the difference. Life is and so are we.
