Good Thoughts

A friend of mine sends out these Good Morning messages everyday, which are truly awesome!

Here's part of today's:


The beauty of the morning is not the sunshine!
But the thought of GOD giving us another beautiful day!
Another chance to declare our love to our loved ones...!

Now this helps me a GREAT deal. Because I am one of those folks who need sunshine to feel like waking up! Winter is very hard for me, because its so dark and cloudy. Dark and cloudy translates into gloomy for me. But this message puts things into perspective! My loved ones are my sunshine, and they are always there.

**********************

Yesterday I saw this totally cute scene...
I was on my way home. I turned right on a major intersection. Right at the signal, a mommy ducky jumped off the divider, followed by the tiniest of baby duckies. The baby looked sooooo cute jumping off the divider and following mommy! I wish I could have taken a pic, but of course I couldn't. Not like that, in the middle of the intersection :)

What I really really found cute was that they were using the pedestrian crossing to get across! Not anywhere else, they were perfectly in the center of the crossing!

And that baby ducky, so so so cute!


**********************

I must have been really worn out yesterday. I got home at 5, and fell asleep immediately to wake up only at 8:30! And slept soundly again at 1! I do feel all happy and refreshed today.

I have guests visiting for 4 days starting tomorrow. So am glad I got my rest before they come. I will need all my energy to look after them.

**********************
A kind request to folks who comment on my ramblings...

I don't like comments starting with "don't worry", "no worries", "things will get ok" etc. Because fact is I am not "worrying" about anything. Things are as good as they can be. I am just thinking out loud. I have a very curious mind, so if I ask questions, thats all it is. Questions of a curious mind. Not worries of a troubled mind.

PS: Yeah, yeah, I know you are so tempted to say "don't worry, I won't think you're worrying!"
But. Please. Don't. ok?

How I wish you had taken a video or a snap of those duckys.. would have been an ideal lesson for our know-all Hindustanis crossing the road anyplace they like.

Preeti said...

If I were there with u right now, I would've either:
a) Hugged u
b) Given u a High-Ten (not just a High-FivE)

Wanna know why? Cuz in the last bit there, you sounded JUST like me...Like totally...I've even done a post on this looooooonnggg back...(Read this and the one above it)

Cinderella said...

Di !
YOu ahould have taken a pic ! Aapka description hi soulds so sweet, I wish I could see them ! They must have been very cute, eh ?
Lucky you...

Aur dekho, logo ka concerned hiona bhi to jayaz hai na ? Coz when they tend to see you in a different light than what they know you to be. Which is why the 'dont worry' sorta messages.

Anyway, the quote was awesome. Just awesome.

Take care.

p.s : (I'm going thru a writer's bloc too...sigh...)

Cinderella said...

Oh, btw tagged you !
I'd love to know your take on that one. You sure will cme up with a fantastic tag...

kinnee cute hote hai na ducklingss :P
khikhikhi

mujhe sweety ki yaad ati hai unkle scrooge wali baby duckling :P

aneri_masi said...

@vrij, what works here won't work in India. India mein driver log bhi to nahi rukte na if they see a pedestrian? Here, no matter where a human (or animal!) is crossing, vehicles will stop until they have crossed to the other side safely.

@preeti, yeah, I read those posts (after I had put in a "don't worry" comment for one of them. gulp!) But you and I could be twins!

@Ella, yaar drive kar rahi thi na, couldn't stop in the middle of the road :(
Yeah, concern hona jaayaz hai, like in the post where I said I wanted me back the way I was. But not when I am saying I want to entertain God and do a shakira dance for him :)

aneri_masi said...

@Ella, tag ka abhi mood nahi hai, will do it later...much much much later, ok?

@xh, yeah, those Good Morning messages are really great! They always make perfect sense!

busy-writer said...

That last bit there is ditto me. Neither do i like pity-sympathy-condolenceish comments.

Sometimes, especially here in this silly yet cute place, we need those simple things in life to give us a certain sense of joy which is otherwise in hiding.
Sigh
