Watching the Sun Set…


As I watched the Sun set this evening, what struck me was how the rising sun, which brings in so much warmth, energy and sunshine each morning; fades away into oblivion every evening, bringing in a sense of calm and tranquility. The setting sun goes down quietly, with the satisfaction of having completed a hard day’s work, allowing the night to take over ; with the confidence that it will rise again tomorrow, and take charge of a new day, starting afresh with a new beginning.

Life is like a box of candies

Life is a long journey. It is like a big box of mixed candies- some sweet, some sugary, some bitter and some sour. You never know what’s in your share on any given day. So stay calm, be positive, count your blessings, accept what is, do your best. Every morning, pray to the Lord, put your hand on your heart and remind yourself, All is Well. God Bless.
