I AM ON VACATION


Finally I've finished my packing - well at least 98%. I can now breathe a sigh of relief (I think.. but it's not over...I am still busy with a lot of things to do before I leave tonight). Thanks to my dear hubby whom I can always count on for everything.  I'll be off on my much waited vacation to the U.S. for 10 days and following 8 days in UK. Yipeee!  I can't wait to see my son and daughter. The only thing I dislike about my journey is the long flight that would seem like endless hours of just sitting in the plane.  

Wish list during my flight
* I hope I fall asleep in the plane
* My poor feet - hope they don't get swollen like last time during the long flight
* Time, can you please fly so fast that I reach U.S. before I even know

I am not sure if I'd be able to find time to blog everyday while on vacation, but I'll try to put up pictures if and when I can. Do visit my blog, there are a lot of interesting and useful older posts on many topics. Think positive, eat mindfully, exercise, keep negativity of all sorts at bay and  have a great time.

MY PHOTO FOR THE DAY - WHAT DO YOU WANT


 Mr. Cat must have felt I am invading it's space, being a stranger to it's territory. No wonder it gave me a 'What do you want?' look....

THE SEEDS YOU PLANT IN YOUR EVERY DAY LIFE


Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant 
- Robert Louis Stevenson

WINDOW DECOR - GAP

Do you stop by certain shop windows to observe their decor? Sometimes windows are decorated with interesting themes, ideas, colors and design, that enhances the appearance of the apparel and fashion wear. I had dropped into GAP in Avenues the other day and when I came out, I had to pass by  the window of  GAP Children's section.  I noticed this nice window decor they have done up. It's simple yet attractive, artistic and absolutely child-centric that would capture any parent's attention. Here are a few pictures. 




MY PHOTOS FOR TODAY - IF YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH

What you eat, drink, and do everyday either improves or deteriorates your health. Think about it....

***** WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE CARE *****


***** WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T TAKE CARE*****


Your health is an everyday responsibility. Take care of the only body and the one life you are gifted with. Eat healthy, exercise and don't subject your body to unnecessary mental stress. Besides the physical aspect, do pay attention to your emotional well being too.

EXPECTATIONS OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE


We have people around us whom we love and have a deep connection with - family, relatives, friends. With love comes expectations.   Sometimes, people you are close to are not able to live up to those expectations, because they are different from you or don't feel the way you do about certain things. What is important to you may not not be important to the other person. What you see, maybe the others don't see it. And not everyone feels the same all the time. A once caring and attentive person could be tied up in his or her own world. People's emotions and views can change. If you have something on your mind and you expect someone to do something they way you perceive, be frank and tell them. Now even after you explained yourself, and they refuse or excuse themselves from fulfilling your request or expectation, well, then, that's just the way they are or they have a differing point of view. Do ask yourself, if your expectations are natural or unrealistic. If you stop having too many expectations out of people whose views differ from yours, you will not get angry or hurt. Actions would stop being good or bad if you stopped judging. But if a loved one is into something destructive or unlawful or constantly getting into trouble, it's only natural to have realistic expectations that the person should lead a non-destructive, fulfilling life and that would require some action like seeking help. 

Sometimes we hover around people who don't even like us and we expect them to pay attention to us or include us in their life which is terrible. Don't push yourself into other's lives or affairs. Contrary to others' actions, you should value yourself, even though, it's not necessarily, everyone else will. Accept those around you, without frustration, anger, sadness and don't hold any grudge against anyone. If you harbor negative feelings, it's you who suffer, not them. One last word, stay far away from toxic or hurtful friends and relatives. You are better off without them. Life becomes so much easier if you adopt a sense of detachment, which allows room for compromise without huge expectations. This helps you to accept your family, relatives and friends with their imperfections, faults and unique personality. Try to think of ways to improve yourself and your life, rather than worrying about why the other person is not like you. We all know the five fingers on our hand are not the same...not even the finger prints.
