Just when I stopped watching time and complaining a sudden shower brought in a whole load of happiness. These beautiful drops of rain carried with them the whiff of a new spirit and indicated the beginning of a new cycle.
I am open to the world of possibilities because I know I have grown more loving, more self-contained and work easily with the universe. I am relaxed and now recognize possibilities as they present themselves, sometimes even before others can see them.
I am in tune with nature and I understand that existence is providing me with exactly what I want….
A big thank you to the one who is watching over me…big hugz!!!

KISS- Keep it simple silly!!!
Why was I waiting for the extra-ordinary to touch my life, for me to enjoy life in its full capacity? Goodness is all around me irrespective of where I am. I just have to be present to it.
I reminded myself to become one with the universe. Then only a peace, a happiness, a bliss could surround me and everything became extra-ordinary. I now feel fulfilled. There is no need for me to wait for special moments to enjoy life. I just had to be present to each moment and it transformed my life into an extra-ordinary life.
Beauty can be found in the simple, ordinary things of life. We so easily take this beautiful world we live in for granted. Cleaning the house, tending the garden, doing routine office work , cooking a meal--the most mundane tasks take on a sacred quality when they are performed with total involvement, with love, and for their own sake, without thought of recognition or reward.
I have stepped into a zone of being easy, natural and utterly ordinary in my approach to the situations I encounter and see it bringing far better results than any attempt to be brilliant, clever, or otherwise extra-ordinary. I have detached myself from the end result and life has now presented the best to me. All it took was taking things easily and simply, one step at a time. The mantra for an extra-ordinary life is Keep it Simple Silly!!!

Tawakul
I am not running or chasing just sauntering into the wilderness of the universe….
It has been a long tread and now I just want to sit and wait for the breeze to come and cool me. I realize that in this phase one has to be at ease with oneself - not trying to improve, not cultivating anything, not practicing anything….just being!!
It is often said that home is where the heart is…I feel otherwise. Home is where you are…you carry you own shelter with you. There is no need to hurry, no need to seek shelter elsewhere. Even as I move into the depths of the emotional waters, I can remain self-contained and free from attachments. I am ready to let go of any expectations I have had about myself or of other people, and to take responsibility for any illusions I have been carrying. There is no need to do anything but rest in the fullness of who I am right now. If desires and hopes and dreams fade away it is so much the better. Their disappearance is making space for a new quality of stillness and acceptance of what is, and I am able to welcome this development in a way I have never been able to before.
I am savoring this quality of slowing down, of coming to rest and recognizing that I am already at home…I am practicing “Tawakul with the Universe”..
