Remove extra lemon from water...

 

I still remember the day I was preparing fresh lime water for the first time...I ended up adding almost five times the amount of lemon than needed. It was a disaster.I had to correct it anyhow.

How I wish I could remove some lemon juice from water to make it taste perfect again! But alas!

Some things can never be undone. Some things can never be changed. There was no way that I know of, to remove the extra lime.

So what was the solution then?

The only way to correct this was to add four more glasses of water and dilute the lemon juice to make five glasses of fresh lime water.

This made me think..

Sometimes we cannot undo some things that have gone wrong in life. Some wrong decisions, wrong choices, wrong investments, wrong actions, wrong associations, wrong words or wrong doings can never be undone.

So what is the solution then?

When you cannot correct what is wrong, do not waste more time over it. It is like attempting to remove lemon from water.  Instead, get busy in adding so many right things in your life that the wrong seems insignificant.

We all have a negative side to ourselves. We may not be able to remove or correct all our negativities. But we can definitely continue adding positive thoughts, positive reading and positive people in our lives and dilute the negativity.

We all have to deal with some easy people and some difficult people in our lives. Do not waste time trying to change the difficult people. You will drain all your emotional energy in vain. Instead spend more time with the pleasant, positive and happy people and the difficult people will not affect you any more.

Everything in your life will never be perfect.

Do not waste too much time correcting what is wrong.

Get busy doing the right things .......

A tree does not bother

about the flowers that fall,

It is always busy

making new flowers blossom

Life is not

about what we lost so far

It is about

what we can still grow.

 

----

 

Everything happens for a reason

live it, love it, learn from it!

Make your smile change the world

But don´t let the world

change your smile.

No judegments

 

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted… “Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled, and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…

“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man… “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”

The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.”

Every single person on the planet has a story.

Don’t judge people before you truly know them.

The truth might surprise you.

THERE IS NO ENEMY OUTSIDE OUR SOUL

THE REAL ENEMIES

LIVE INSIDE US:

ANGER, EGO, GREED AND HATE.

 

 

ONE OF THE HARDEST LESSONS IN LIFE

IS LETTING GO

WHETHER IT IS GUILT, LOVE, LOSS OR BETRAYAL.

CHANGE IS NEVER EASY

WE FIGHT TO HOLD

WE FIGHT TO LET GO

 

 

HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE TRAVELED TO

OWNED, EARNED, WORN OR CONSUMED

HAPPINESS IS THE SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

OF LIVING EVERY MINUTE

WITH LOVE, GRACE, AND

GRATITUDE.

Turn over a new leaf

Bend before you break

Enjoy your unique natural beauty

Keep growing.

 

 

Mom's Sari Pallu

Most of our kids and youngsters as well don't know what a pallu is,

as mothers now rarely wear saree.

The principle use of Ma's pallu was to provide the elegance to her drape.

But along with that, it also served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the stove.

It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used and as a hand towel.

For sleeping kids her lap was the mattress and her pallu the warm cover.

When company came, those pallus were ideal hiding places for shy kids...

And when going out as little kids, the pallu became an anchor,

a guide to follow the Mom in the big bad world

And when the weather was cold, Maa  wrapped it around her arms.

Those glorious sari pallus wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.

After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.

It will be a long time before someone invents something

that will replace that 'old-time sari pallu' that served so many purposes.

The pallu is nothing but magic woven.

And know what this pallu carried..... don't think that  If anyone ever caught anything from MOMS pallu -

was nothing but love.

George Carlin on aging!
(Absolutely Brilliant)

 

IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.

George Carlin's Views on Aging
HOW TO STAY YOUNG  

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning.    Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil’s   family name is   Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.  

5.  Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love   , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND, ALWAYS REMEMBER:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

 Please do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

 

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely

in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, 

totally used up and worn out,

shouting '...man, what a ride!'⁠⁠⁠⁠
