What is special about today?

-



Today morning when I woke up there was a question raised about what was so special today. I happened to wake up early to see the pre sunrise horizon with the stars still shining and when the sheaths of dark night are uncovered to shed some light.
It looked quite mesmerizing and took some cool pictures while sipping a hot cup of tea. It always fills me with so much energy when I relish the early morning air.









The sun was shining in full glory as I rode the bus to work. I could see the bright red and pink hues of color of the fall colors adorning mother nature like a bride. Along the way I also could see the peak of my favourite Mt. Rainier still snow covered but beautiful in the morning light and feel like giving a bear hug to it.

It’s my habit of enjoying the ride to Seattle every day, the scenery looks different every day. Today as we crossed the floating bridge the water was like a sheet of silk so smooth and shining enhancing the effect.  I feel the water is always an indicator of how the weather for rest of the day is going to be.

I observed many things today. I could see a lone guitarist strumming his guitar alone in the morning ..the houses with their decks extending to edge of the lake..i saw people setting their coffee tables near the ledge .. I could see the pigeons playing around along the freeway. I saw three pigeons playing and was following their activity for few minutes. felt like the Banala sistersJ…two of them crossed over and moved forward. One of them stayed back on one corner..just like me…but then it flew over and joined rest of them in time so that they could all be together. This was a clear indicator for me that its time to go back home soon.

On the whole I feel every day is special and we should make the best use of what we have and take it forward to live every moment. Although on the work front it might get a bit boring its important that we keep learning for there is always something new to learnJ

This is my FIRST Blog and i never thought i would start with such a topic. But i think its worth a read..so sit back and Enjoy:-)... Life is such a wonderful teacher that teaches us a whole variety of lessons although with a complete mix of emotions. No matter how hard we try there is always a perfect timing where all things fall in place just like the various pieces of a puzzle. Today there was a simple but mysterious experience which I came across. It so happened that I had to make a few payments that was important and to be closed at the earliest. Normally I manage my finance by allocating them appropriately before hand along with some additional reserve.But today I had exactly the amount that was required for the payment and no additional reserve. I kept on thinking about how to manage in case any unexpected expense comes before me. A most unexplainable incident happened exactly at this moment of my though

Its Autumn...

Its Autumn… Early in the morning when I woke up …looked out of the window form the kitchen… I see a sheet of floating snow flakes gently swirling in the air and falling on the window sill… The whole backyard covered with drifting snow and the garden plants peeping here and there from the snow capped leaves Rosebuds bending with the weight of the light snow flakes and dripping with the melting snow The terrace garden swaying with the wind and the floating snow giving it an animation of twirling in the snow and playing with it The bend of road leading to the bridge covered with snow troubling the passers by…the castle atop the hill standing strong and high. My heart fluttered like a butterfly to just go out and play in the snow..but the cold kept me away But it brought a smile to my lips and made my day:-) Hoping and wishing that the smile lasts forever:-)....

A day in spring...

Today, it was a beautiful sunny day of the spring. In the morning, on my way to work me normally enjoy the wonders of nature and relish the cool breeze that sways amidst the rushes and dry grass. It touches my cheek to greet me a very good morning. I could see the trees with a new sprig of life with all the new leaves and branches turning green, trees filled with bright flowers. The shades of light playing across he leaves with a shimmer so fine that it looks as though the spot lights are turned on J . Today I was reading a good book listening to my favourite songs, a beam of sunlight was falling on my face. It was so graceful that I enjoyed the whole combination. I could’nt resist a smile on my lips watching the whole scene. I know it sounds crazy, but its amazing to see that these small things will make your day at times. We just have to look at them. It made me to enjoy the present without any thoughts of past or future. I believe we should live in the present and enjoy ever
