WILL YOU?

Dear Friends,

Good morning.

Another week starts and just a few more days for me to relax.by the week end i will be joining for duty after a long break and i'm preparing myself to get adjusted to the hectic schedule.the very thought,'back to work' makes me sick.iam so used to laze around these days with my time spending in balcony,enjoying my morning tea,looking at the boats n ships sailing in the sea,observing the life style of people staying in the small houses on the other side of the road,the activities of the fisherfolk,the way they shout in a language alien to me,the sparrows chirping and conveying so many messages and the crows on the swaying coconut leaves,the beautiful flowers in the garden downstairs-leaving all these behind,getting up in the wee hours of the

morning,struggling to leave home on time,life is going to be different now.anu was not like this;for her work is worship and she always loves to walk that extra mile to excel in profession causing jealousy in colleagues.

But i am excited for personal reasons.and sunday evening calls from maza across the seas gets me recharged for the whole week.thanks a million,dear.

Here i want to share a forwarded mail with you.generally,we forget to count our blessings and the same thing repeatedly i ask my clients to write down as a positive measure.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation,you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,in your wallet, and spare change in a dish some place, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smileon your face and are truly thankful,you are blessed because the majority can,but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug themor even touch them on the shoulder,you are blessed because you canoffer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.

Hearty congrats to remiz,my blogger friend who is ranked 60th in indian bloggers!wow!a real achievement.i'm so happy for u.remiz,you have a long way to go in the field of technology.best wishes,always.you are going to be the star of kannur.

Friends,the moment you feel depressed,take a deep breath and relax.give the best smile you can offer and start counting the blessings you have.it helps us a lot!you know what,the small acts of kindness and love makes our day.yesterday,yellappa had come to visit me.he had been to

bijapur in karnataka,his native place.he had brought many big oninons and moong straight from his fields.we felt so nice,a humble person with a cloth bag full of gifts,that too from his fields !normally,once a year he used to get the pea nuts with shells and i used to enjoy them after boiling them in salted water.in chennai we had it from the beach,from a small hand

cart.yellappa,is so sincere ,a typical village guy who has a simple loving heart.kishen,my little star and maza love him a lot.we just can't ignore his simple and caring style.he sits down and talks for long about the weather of his village,how they get water from the river for the crops etc.

i'm sure,like me ,you will enjoy this song ,the hit of the yester years..........Karutha penne ninne........

in kerala we enjoy the old malayalam songs on radio.and my little star simply loves these songs.

specially,at noon from one to two.
