Aloness is bliss

 Aloneness has always intrigued many people because they mistake it for loneliness.

Aloneness is bliss.Its a stage of being alone,unaffected by anything,or anyone....not any external force.Its a state of enjoying one's own company.Its a state of blissfulness.

Today is a "gloomy day" with overcast sky and low temperature outside.Until now,ever since I set foot in Toronto it's been bright everyday with of course occasional downpour towards the late evening.But this day began with overcast skies.As I was walking in the balcony,all by myself,watching the traffic pass by and people walk by,a sense of happiness came over me.I am blessed to be with my thoughts, uninterrupted thoughts I thought,as the cool breeze caressed my cheeks.

My thoughts went back to people whom I love,people whom I interact with,my happy moments with nature,my happy moments with my paints and brushes,so on and so forth.

My thoughts are my own,no one can enter my kingdom of thoughts without my permission I thought.That is my own,very own space,into which I allow only a few who are very dear to me.

A week since I wrote the above few lines....It has been sunny.

Time passes so fast watching people go by,watching traffic go by....before you realize you would have spent close to an hour,exercise time included..exercising while the sun gives you company is something unusual for me because back home I only walk in the sunlight.Exercises are done in the confines of my home.So,I am enjoying it here.

A little bit of cooking,cleaning is also pleasurable.Not an overdose of any chore.Everything within limits.I love to spend my time all by myself.

Today,after a long time I did a bit of painting.Very pleased with the outcome of my efforts.

Found this pic very apt for the topic I chose for my blog.....

A long beautiful road surrounded by beautiful nature,the sun as well as the melting snow,the mountains and the beautiful sky to keep you company is so blissful I thought.Do you need anyone else with you for company?


Wish you,my readers,a pleasant journey through life.....be happy always.

Life,an obstacle race

Image
  Life and water pass through various terrains and overcome obstacles along their course.  Turning point comes in one's life after we have successfully overcome many hurdles/obstacles. As we go through  our life's journey, there are bound to be many challenges to overcome.We move on,each time,overcoming them.There are some challenges which are not that difficult and do not involve much effort on our part to overcome them,whereas there are some challenges which are very very difficult to overcome.But,overcome we must. We are left with no choice but to face them and overcome them. Challenges are of two types,physical and mental.Both are difficult in their own way. Whatever and however the challenges are,we need to grow as we meet them and overcome them. Challenges may be God's ways to evolve us. I have noticed that when we are going through some problems,we constantly pray that we, should get what we want.God,like any mortal parent,bestows upon us with something better but ...

Patience unlimited

Image
 I feel that I have developed unlimited patience over the years.Life teaches patience,tolerance and the attitude to ignore many things that are not palatable to us.The reason being,as we see more of life we realise that we can't change people around us, so if we have to deal with people who are a part of our living, we have to put up with lots of unpleasant things or their behavior that may hurt us. A person's behavior tells us more about that person,who ever it be....our own selves or others. I had known a wife who used to be constantly ridiculed by her husband for everything she said or did and that too in front of an audience of friends and the wife would always laugh it off.I used to admire that lady but her husband's behavior would irritate me.I think now I understand why she used to keep quiet and bear everything and smile it off.Their individual behaviours told us more about his personality and her personality.His behavior told us what an ill mannered and foolish  pe...

Is appreciation the end all and be all?

Image
The title I gave this blog is a question!!! I love to analyse every thing that happens in my day to day life.Anything overwhelming or anything that makes me sad. Well something overwhelming happened today. I was most unexpectedly appreciated for a painting that I posted in a watercolor group of which I am a member. At first it was overwhelming and I even responded to it.After responding,my mind started the process of analysis of the whole process.....from how I felt motivated to paint the subject to how I felt after finishing my painting. Actually, I could not take my eyes off the photograph that was posted by my photographer friend whom I follow closely.My admiration for that person's photography ignited the desire in me to paint and I could not help but make a water colour version of it.I sat through my work in the night till the wee hours of the next morning and was elated with the result.The first thing I did was to post it the next day.Irespective of the likes and comments I g...
