Mindfulness Over Mindlessness: #MondayMusings #MondayBlogs #MicroblogMondays

Guess what’s top of my mind these days? No prizes for guessing it is indeed the simple act of mindfulness. Thanks to a wonderful blogger friend, Shinjini a.k.a Modern Gypsy’s forthright long challenge on Instagram called The Mindful Break , I’ve suddenly been awakened from my reverie of “mindless” living, to one of mindfulness. Having said that, I’ve not been living “mindlessly” forever.  The last few months have been a roller coaster ride and I have forgotten what it feels like to…

Ten Things I Am Grateful for On Monday Morning : #MondayMusings #MicroblogMonday #MondayBlogs

  ten things i Am grateful for on monday   How did your Monday morning start? Is it Moan-day or Monday for you? Did you wake up with a spring on your feet, or did you bemoan the beginning of another choc-a-block week? Did you enjoy your coffee looking out of the window, and kiss the children a happy good-bye, as they left for school? Or was it a morning of frayed nerves with the alarm not ringing, and your…

Book-ed and Hooked: #MondayMusings #MondayBlogs

Book-ed and Hooked: #MondayMusings #MondayBlogs

,Last week I was book-ed; hook, line, and sinker.  I received three books that I had ordered on Amazon. One being Khaled Hosseini’s – Sea Prayer, the other Twinkle Khanna’s – Pyjamas are Forgiving and the third, a parenting book by Dr. Laura Markham- Peaceful Parent Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting.  My TBR (to be read) list is mounting, yet I can’t stop buying books. My bookshelves are spilling over. But every time I see a book…

Gratitude for August 2018: #GratitudeCircle

Gratitude for August 2018: #GratitudeCircle

August is my birthday month and I look forward to it with much anticipation. In my head I believe that August must turn out perfect. But the August of 2018 proved to be a mixed bag of surprises. Some great, and some not so great. There were challenges galore, but the month was also dotted with exceptional blessings.

Eight Things I’m Grateful for in July 2018: #GratitudeCircle #MondayMusings #mg

Eight Things I’m Grateful for in Jaunty July   July was pretty much uneventful, most parts of it; so I am assuming. But possibly I’m being partly judgemental. Judging my jaunty July without really considering the details-not a good idea! If I look deep into the recesses of the month, there was actually some interesting action and a chunk load of things to be grateful for. The month began on an unfettered note and continued to flow like an unbridled river.

Faith Can Move Mountains: #MondayMusings

Faith Can Move Mountains: #MondayMusings

  What could possibly have prompted someone to  write this powerful quote: “Faith Can Move Mountains” ? The origin of this supremely motivating quote is from the holy Bible. It was recorded in the 1582 Rheims Bible, in Matthew XXI 21, as: “If you shall have faith, and stagger not, … and if you shall say to this mountain, throw thy self into the sea, it shall be done.” “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you,…

Thawing My Frosty February:#MondayMusings #MondayBlogs #GratitudeCircle

A quarter of a brand new year is over; almost. Yet, it seemed the shortest month of the year, was the longest. Simple ironies of life, you see. February reared its wicked head at me in more ways than one. But instead of bludgeoning it with the defeatist question, “Why me?” I looked it straight in the eye and said, “Try me!”

Can we let Sridevi RIP. Please, please!! #MondayMusings

It was a lazy Sunday. Lazy, as I skipped my cycling plans; an activity that gives my day a very lively kick-start. But then I was also happy to be able to sleep in that extra bit. I slept tad late on Saturday night as I was trying to catch up on some blogs. I was reading Mayura’s blog, Diary of an Insane Writer where she wrote about “breaking up with Whatsapp”. It spoke to me in more ways than one. So yesterday…
