Spring is here.....Knocking on the doors....

Indian summer has arrived. Fall is nearing its end and spring is on the threshold.
Today while cooking I was gazing outside the Kitchen window. From this window I have witnessed some real beautiful birds and creatures. And today I saw new life emerging. I saw the infant leaves popping out. The Mango tree that was looking lifeless for past two months was actually glowing with the sun kiss. I was really excited and happy to see the new life. But at the time I cursed myself for not finding time to enjoy this view before, to see the first footstep of this emerging life.

Sometime back my close friend prod this question, “ Is money directly proportional to ones happiness”. Today this question was bothering me and I was really concerned. There were many similar question popping in my mind. Have I really become part of this rat race? I mean I was never like this before. I always had time to enjoy little moments of life. Chasing the butterflies, talking to birds, seeing the flowers bloom, taking care of my plants and talking to them as if they were my babies. Of late all I do is sit in front of my laptop and work. Watch Movies and hear some music while working. This Technology Savvy World envelops my life. Now the major question that’s bothering me is am I happy? With all this advancement I am really happy with my life? Well the harass truth is I am not? But these worldly requirements for ones survival and my thirst to gain more are compelling me to be part of this rat race.

But today after much pondering I have decided to cut down on my work. After the work on my hand is completed I am going to get relaxed a bit. And become the one I was once - One to enjoy life and be worldly wise. Hope I am successful in my motive and don’t get engulfed by the worldly pressures. But till then I am planning to take time out to enjoy every little moment of this beautiful nature and life.

This reminds me of my desktop wallpaper which says, ‘Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race but a journey to be savored each step of the way.’ So apt! Life is beautiful; enjoy every moment of it! Amen!
