Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day! Well, it’s time for some Real Talk.
Ah, adulthood! Something that we all wish for, but certainly aren’t equipped to handle. (High hopes, eh?) Responsibilities, accountability, anxiety, and doubt – well that’s the latest version of being mature. From childlike foolery to a confined 24/7 cubicle with a 9 to 5 job, student loan debt and daycare expenses, work demands, the pressures of dating/marriage or children – somewhere, somehow, life catapults and we become adults!
I remember being a child and feeling like I couldn’t wait to be an adult because I would get to do what I wanted to, whenever I wanted to do it. (Yay.. Freedom!) Yet, here I am (all grown up) wondering “what the h*** happened?”
Busy, forlorn, lonesome, blue, running around in the mundane “rat race” called life – Well yes, that’s “adulting”! And surprisingly, everyone’s in it! Somewhere between careless frolics to overwhelming, stressful, and chaotic existence – situations changed and we matured!
Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day!
I have been named again for the 3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag! Yay! *happy dance* Thank you Tashnee from tashneevmavee for tagging me. It’s indeed a pleasure!
FYI – Well this time too this tag comes with a twist folks – I am posting all the three quotes in one post for the three days. Sorry about being such a rebel lately, life’s been a little tough! The theme of today’s post is – (much needed) HAPPINESS! Ah, sweet happiness!
“You are what you think. All that you are arises from your thoughts. With your thoughts you make your world.”
– Buddha
Life is a constant challenge with numerous twists and turns. From as minute as the “early morning coffee spill” on your favorite white shirt, to as grave as a “break-up” to as heart-breaking as “when your pet dies” – Ah, such is life and the agony that comes along with it!
There is no doubt that we all want to break free from the “so-called” miseries of life and be perfect! As a matter of fact, we all ARE constantly seeking perfection and non-stop improvement, hoping for optimum outcomes and premium returns. Always, wishing for this and hoping for that!
Ummmm.. Well who doesn’t want to improve their lives? (I know that I want to!)
But wait! STOP! Are you sure that this pain of attaining “perfection” is not-self inflicted? Are you the one stealing your own joy? Are you creating your own miseries?
“Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Hey Everyone! How you doin’?
Today is a happy, happy day for me! I cheerfully declare my first “successful rescue” since moving to Memphis! (Ah, the little joys of life!) For the one’s who don’t know me – well yes, I have been a crazy*** animal lover all my life and the endeavor of rescuing animals has always been super close to my heart! *See an animal – jump right at it* (in a friendly way of course!)
Everyone meet – “eena”, “meena”, “myna”, “mo” – the adorable “fur-balls” of LOVE – successfully saved, efficiently fostered and waiting to be triumphantly adopted!
“Our biggest regrets are not for the things we have done but for the things we haven’t done”
― Chad Michael Murray
Have you ever done something that you deeply regret? Do you wish you could go back and alter what developed?
Unquestionably, we have all done things in our lives that we would not necessarily go back and do again (Guilty!), but does that mean we must live with regret?
I guess, the BIG question is to how to move on, acquire and live a life with no regrets?
Well, it doesn’t mean that we start regretting “all” that we have done in our past, because had it not been for those “life lessons” we wouldn’t have been on this path of “self discovery!” Thank God for the errors, thank Heavens for the blunders, we are what we are today – wiser, smarter and more intuitive of our surroundings and performance. (Amen!)
We never know how long we have, so let’s start living a life free of regrets starting today! Here is my personal prescription of living a life without regrets, so that when we write the final chapter of our life story, we can make it a happy ending –
Hey Everyone! Happy happy FRIYAY y’all!
Well folks, guess what happened while I was happily gallivanting in the “Smokies!” *drum roll* I received an email saying that I have been ranked 52nd in the TOP 75 HAPPINESS BLOGS on Feedspot! Shibby, ain’t it?
I am “IN THE SEVENTH HEAVEN” today! Yay! *happy happy dance*
When I started with this blog it was all about “testing the waters” and “canvassing the blogosphere”. Never did I think I would come this far! But you know what – hard work, diligence and determination never fails!
From “REAL TALK” to “MY TRAVEL DIARIES” to “HEALTHY FOOD SERIES” – my motive to write a post has always been about spreading – wellness, happiness and positivity and I am glad that I could achieve it!
I truly am stoked and humbled at this recognition and I really, really am proud of how far “we” all have come together as a team! The encouraging words and constant motivation from each one of you is priceless. Honestly, I wouldn’t be where I am today had it been not for your kind words, support and approval.
