The Bare Necessities of Happy Living
I remember my dad once say, "The authors of books like - 'How to make a marriage work..etc' , are the ones to have faced maximum divorces or a bitter marital life. So this post is not meant to provide tips on happy living. Having spent my entire lifetime tied to my mother's apron string, a year of separation was a definitely a big deal . I run errands, do the daily chores, manage work , keep myself entertained, miss home a great deal and sob, pay my bills, do all the cleaning and washing.. The multitude tasks of looking after home and career, and i seem to manage it pretty well. The best thing about the planet we live in is, it is full of lovely people.
A morning jog on the rivershore, a rich and energetic breakfast , appreciation emails at work, a healthy conversation with a friend, delicious lunch, a comfortable ride backhome, a conversation narrating the day's activities with a dear one, a fulfilling dinner and a good night's sleep. These are the bare necessities of happy living. Start day with a smile on your face. Shed tears for those who value it. Rest assured...
