Winter Rains brings smiles to lips
Walk slowly..do not slip
stretch your arms and feel it drip
open your lips 🙂 drink a bit
the fresh droplets will fill your heart
with hope and love..yes.that’s a start
close your eyes as you feel it seep
whispering softly..love is deep
Weddings are happy occasions you never want to miss, more if the one getting married is your favorite niece:) Best part of the wedding  , she already loves her groom before the marriage, that is very much reassuring and hopeful for the married life that would follow.
Along the Sandy beach of Phi Phi Island, a two hour leisure boat ride from Phuket Pier, Bangkok has much to offer.
The family arrived to attend the most memorable wedding :)). The nature was our host, of course our human host was the manager who runs the part of Phi phi Island that was classically decorated for the occasion.
The roof was huge, it was the sky and floor was soft sand mingling my feet to cheer, breeze was touching and making me smile, it was air and was conditioning my body to feel the natural temperature…oh..and sea was at our feet..how romantic can that be..very.
Our niece was dressed in green with gold and groom in off white ..both looked ..bold and beautiful ..Parents were smiling ear to ear as they walked the bride towards the waiting groom. The two love birds in their own words, expressed their love and commitment to try..yes that is important ..for we must acknowledge our shortcomings and then take one more step forward ..and promise to try and improve. You see, marriages are always made in heaven and we must never send it to hell.
Food was plenty, drinks were fresh and regular in supply, cushions were  arranged with low wooden tables..perfect setting to relax and watch..the nature and people..pleased with the occasion. My husband got so relaxed..that he did manage a small nap. I woke him and asked to join me in counting the stars..we gazed away..as clouds floated by..the music was soft and entertaining..so everyone could easily have a conversation.
Pictures were taken, greetings exchanged, young people were jumping high to express their mood..and also for a good group photograph. The lighting of paper balloon was a new experience, each couple got one to light and let it go, it carried our good wishes away..making us look at the night sky adorned with twinkling stars..and each time I caught a glimpse of the newly wedded couple..they were perfectly relaxed and enjoying….this was their day..their moment  of sharing happiness with those who cared ..The waves touched our toes and we realized it was time to go..
Thank you for inviting us all to your beautiful destination wedding..it was perfect and we are hopeful that you two would make your marriage a great success too :))

Little flurry  kitty so cute
when you fly away with wings on you
as I touch your softness to feel
are you real ..?
are you real ..?
Yes ..you are ..I can feel
Humor, the best ingredient for a good company. We, all want to smile and if possible laugh all loud, roll too. But, at what cost ? That makes a check, are we  planning to ridicule anyone and make that person an object of humiliation ? Or, we can say something funny that although, it involves a person but he  is laughing more loudly than anyone else.Â
Ah! a difference, we are having fun together versus we are making fun of you 😉 Difficult ? Not really, it is difficult to make friends with people who are rude and ruthless, doesn’t care  if it breaks your heart  but would abuse you or your character , in an insulting manner and their group would  laugh at you 😦 this makes the company sad/depressing, oppressive..yes..the bullies..those who are mean and never come out clean..So..who wants to risk themselves with those who humiliate..none..unless you are boneless..
On the other hand, those who can joke with you without any personal attacks or insulting words or behavior are the people you search in a party/ crowd. They instantly bring a smile on your face, naturally no effort..The moment they appear , you get a smile by a wink they have directed towards you. They include you in their humor, in a sophisticated and sweet manner.Â
The choice of words, the topic and the manner  in which they speak, makes you laugh with tears that is due to instant joy.
Satire and humor, Â often seems easy but is mastered by people who have developed sensitivity to mood, occasion and word play. It is partly natural, but mostly intentional, they have inbuilt sweetness and intelligence.
The bees come to flowers for nectar , it’s the sweetness which makes them buzz around and the fly comes to garbage, its the pungent  smell that makes a crowd.
Decide, what you want to offer to those who come across you..sweetness or foul smell 😉 foul language smells real bad ..doesn’t  it ?
To smile even if there is no reason..means you have every reason to smile.
Life got ups and down, when tragedy strikes it makes us sad and we must cry..feel pain and remain silent or wail.Then a timer inside our mind must make us get away from past and move on to future. Each day if not tragic, then no reason to make it sound boring and uneventful.
Why is it so important to feel happy and to smile . It makes you more energetic and lets you focus on other issues rather than be just looking at yourself. Happy people are no different from those who remain dull or sad, except for their attitude. They have decided to live in the moment. To grasp life as they live it.
They are realistic, in identifying what are their limits and boundaries. It does not put a barrier to their vision, it makes them explore potentials in the known for avenues not known before.
Usually, they will maintain cleanliness but would not freak out. They balance the issue with magnitude. Feeling a certain ecstasy is definitely a treat but cumulative enjoyment leads to contentment and peace.
Happy people are not perfectionist, for they understand that mistakes are inevitable and everyone can make it, just as they can..so can others too..they don’t yell or scream 🙂
Lastly, they expect less and deliver more..so they remain thankful for the returns they get and if some don’t return kindness with respect and gratitude,they let it go.
Happy people are like honey, bees come to collect sweetness and smiles from them, so they are seldom lonely. They give hope, courage and reason to work harder, think deeper and love freely.
Be happy..Stay happy :))
Smile!!
what a cool idea By Iris  van Herpen to splash water and picture it as a dress…and what if we could freeze that form 😉 But..it is gonna be transparent !!!
