Keep me away from the wisdom which does
not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh
and the greatness which does not bow before
children….
Kahlil Gibran

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal.
There you go. I think my mother-in-law is attractive, but I have photographs of her.

क्षमा बलमशक्तानां शक्तानां भूषणं क्षमा
क्षमा वशीकृते लोके क्षमया किं न सिध्यति
'Forgiveness' is the strength of the weak; 'forgiveness' is the adornment of the strong. The world is subdued by 'forgiveness'. What can't be accomplished with 'forgiveness'!
Forgiveness is a force stronger than revenge, more powerful than punishment. If one wishes to be in accordance with the law of nature, one must learn forgiveness.
Translations from the epic Mahabharat

Asked a cousin touching 70 how she felt at that age and what changes had she gone through ....
She replied :
1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.
2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.
5 I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.
6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You.”
8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.
9 I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.
10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.
12 I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.
13 I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.
14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!
I borrowed this. I don't know who to credit it to, but thank you!

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn.
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover.
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn.
But only one mother the world wide over..
