Everyday is a new day,
A new beginning that tries to say;
Be as happy as you can be,
Be the change you want to see;
Keep it simple, keep it clean,
Live the life that you always dream;
Where there is a will, there is a way,
Be thankful to the Lord while you pray.

Does it really sound great and feels good to know we are grown up? Let us find out.
When we were kids, there were several instances when we tried to imitate our elders. We fancied the life our parents, uncle and aunts used to live. We craved for the freedom to do anything and everything.
Today, as adults, we admire the life of kids. We find happiness in all the small pleasures they take. We dream of living life as a kid again. Why!!!
Kids do not know about stress. They are unaware of this complicated world. They do not know about rich or poor. They do not distinguish people on the basis of color, language, caste, creed or religion. They do not know about ego, greed, money, jealousy, hatred or competition. They understand only one language and that is the language of love.
They know how to forget and forgive. They know how to embrace someone who makes them cry.They know that a smile can make others happy. They know how to get what they want without harming others. They never try to impress but know how to express. They do not know fear. They are not bothered about others because they know how to stay busy. They know their worth. They never depend on others to be happy.
Kids explore. They experiment. They learn. They laugh. They live their life!
We feel we are all grown up. We realized this when we were gifted with a son who taught us that life is very simple. Since then, we are living life as a kid again because, we now know that no one is going to get out alive anyway.

When we started blogging in WordPress, it was a new experience for us. The excitement pushed us to meet this site daily and we were sort of attached to this new experience that supported us to ‘play’ with our daily thoughts and expressions. We state here “play” because we enjoyed every moment we spent scribbling our thoughts! Sooner or later, for whatever reason, we lost the magic wand.
We are back again and we are here with renewed zest and vigor. We are back with a winning streak !! We are back with the magic wand to live our life more fruitfully. Here is what we have to offer to our readers.
We come across many quotations on anything and everything we want to learn. Quotations are mere experiences of people great and small and what ‘they have learnt’ from what ‘they have observed’ in the situation and environment ‘they have lived’. We tend to accept those that better suits our thoughts.
It is never too late to learn. We can learn everyday and every moment if we want to. We learn from others and we learn from our own experiences.
Here are few quotations we tried to figure out from our own experiences.
“Never blame anyone for the life you are living. The life you are living is your choice. Believe in your choice.”
“Give me the opportunity to love and care for people i have never met. Those i love and care for, are already safe in my heart.”
“Don’t go by words. They are mere ways of expression. Follow what you feel because your feelings are all that you own and they speak the truth.”
“Never say: I’m busy. Instead say: I’m never busy but i’m never idle either.”
“The heart never breaks. It opens the door to new beginnings. Good or bad, learn to treasure the past, accept the present and continue living. This is how you welcome your bright future.”
“Dare to take risks, dream and expect. It is better than doing nothing.”
“I love to think because it gives me the opportunity to go on a date with ME.”
“We all can be a genius. All that we need is to think different.”
“I’m not unstable. Life provides me the ups and downs. I simply adjust myself.”
“That education is not worth it that cannot teach us how to live when we are emotionally dead.”
“Enjoy the time you waste. This way you will not regret wasting your time. Life is all about living and not winning.”
“The best Research is that which is done when we do not know what to do.”
“Be flexible, you will bend. Be rigid, you will break.”
“Be thankful to people you don’t like. What we don’t like in others is what we don’t want for us. Think simple, think wise.”

Food for thought: We all have that one eccentric relative who always says and does the strangest things. In your family, who’s that person, and what is it that earned him/her that reputation?
It’s US! 🙂
We’ve been wondering how to display our eccentric side out here in WordPress. And here we are expressing the eccentric side of us once again. As usual, thanks to WordPress Daily Prompt for this opportunity.
Yes, in our family and also among our friends, we believe ‘we’ are the one eccentric relative or friend who always says and does the strangest things. Now, what was it that earned us this reputation will be unveiled as you let your eyes capture every word and allow your mind to crack the code. If you are one among those who have read our past posts with enthusiasm and with an open mind, you’ve almost got us, and surprisingly, you become another eccentric person! Boggled? Never mind.
It has been quite sometime since we came up with a post to crack the truth. We were away for a while. It was like loving someone or something dearly when they are new and then just take it for granted (as is always thought about). When we first started blogging, WordPress was our first love. It still is, (not taken for granted) because this is the place where we can be stupid, behave crazy, be who we are and just let go the things that bother us. Yes, we get the opportunity to express our eccentric side. Interestingly, we are eccentric not only among our family and friends but among millions of other users of this site.
Let us state it this way. How many of you thought ‘yourself’ as that one eccentric person you know, and write about for this post? We did! Isn’t this a reason for eccentricity? The truth is we hardly get the time to think what others are thinking because we are lost in our own weird thoughts, trying to crack the code of truth; truth about life, truth about truth itself!
What we believe as humans is: we have a tendency to rule over others. And the moment we see others trying to follow a new track, we start thinking others are behaving strangely. This is because we do not let our thoughts go beyond that limit we have set for ourselves. We want others to see what we see, hear what we hear and do what we do. But, if the mind is set free, it can cross many horizons we have probably never imagined. The mind is a mystery.
Now, ‘we’ are among those who believe in living our dreams and living the life we dream instead of dreaming of living ‘our life’.
We can sail through this draft, pointing out the many reasons why our family and friends think we are eccentric. But do we really need to do that? We feel the one reason we pointed out above is sufficient for your understanding. And to know more about our strange thoughts and ideas, keep track of our posts! 😉
