it has been a 9 long months period since i decided to take retirement . once i took it ..it baffled me too Was i really doing it??? it surprised even those who claimed to know me best.and how did i feel finally ? actually for afew months i was so much caught in the whirl of activities that i did not really feel free.but then when i got free.i felt liberated....calm of mind all passion spent ...my oft oft quoted line was getting proved on me. How would one feel sitting at a sunset point after a day's hectic work or say standing on a beach feeling the cool breeze on your face on a quiet sunday or simply moving to nd fro on a rocking chair ? it is indeed a great feeling when u know u don't have to hurry or rush to reach somewhere on time ...when the time is under ur thumb nd u can kill it at the call of ur temperament.....it is at ur disposal....u do whatever u want to?? i have seen people craving to fill up the emptiness of their life with activities they can boast about....more of a social status....nd when they ask me how m i feeling ??.or if im bored ..to them if i answer that i m thoroughly njoying myself they look at me suspiciously as if i m hiding something from them.....So the energy that seems to be within me will fuel the rest of my life ...thank my stars that instead of destroying all natural pleasures of my life for something elusive and unreal...i have taken a break for a perennial flow of life and energy....may god bless all with the same comfortable life to be able to give up the meaningless profession and sit back nd njoy the golden period of life at golden jubilee of their birthday..AMEN.
Wonderful meaningful words….rather scripture……comfortably making so called ‘professionals’ understand meaning of life…bottom line Mamta is How To Stay Young At Heart……may I add ‘9’pills’ to golden jubilees’ effect…
ReplyDelete1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. When you keep your mind active, you help keep it healthy.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
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. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, around the block, to another city or around the world, but NOT to where the guilt is.
9. 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 takes our breath away.
……an experience I can only describe…
It takes 9 months to bring life into this world and it has taken that time for you to put your fingers to the keyboard and start a blog! Good job, keep it up. I do have a private blog which I will open up once i write about 30 pieces. I am up to about 24 and I write 2 pieces a week. If you are interested in reading it let me know. It is about my 'experiences with Truth' not experiments!;-). I believe that Truth is a person --- God. So they are really very private thoughts of mine..but hey I can share them with you my sister!
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging i found it very fulfilling and yes very demanding!
Love to you and the family. I saw your pix on FB and wrote a comment on you writing your reflections and then I see you started a blog!!!
hey bro...i indeed appreciate ur valuable comments nd ofcourse i would love to read what u r writing.Yes it is very satisfying but only when it comes straight from the heart.Words don't come easily unless the heart agrees.
