What made me happy today?
1. A photograph of my mother, enjoying her walk with my brother and his family at their place near Porbandar, Gujrat. To see her walking after being so seriously ill, was a great moment. This is the first time, since her illness in April this year, that she has traveled out of Bombay.
2. I visited the Shilpotsav yesterday, and found these pretty orange cups and fell in love with them instantly. Their unique shape intrigued me and I had to get them home.
3. I cracked open these three perfect and whole walnuts successfully, early in the morning and felt so happy to have done it. 🙂
These are a few of the things which made my day…

Oh, geez, you don't fail to make me smile each day.
I received two messages from a special friend 😉
We just had our journal released today 🙂 YEY! It came packed and ready to be shipped to Vietnam 🙂
I was able to bring copies to my Editor-in-chief.
Then when I came home, I had a hearty lunch while everybody was out.
I saw one of my Satur-dates and told her that we have classes this afternoon.And we shall go together for Mass later.
I saw Roy Durham's post that his book will be published :D…double smiles for that 🙂
I was able to make a letter to Sancheeta, I hope she replies soon.
I have time to write the author of the book I read.
I have time to pray and read blogs :)…
plus…lots more 🙂
Your page is filled with blessings Sulekha love :)…THANK YOU for the space!
Only a sunlit soul like yours can find beauty in such 'ordinary' things like walnut's heart. A lesson learnt. Thanks.

Bongo, I am so glad you smiled today and happy that your friend returned after a long time. Thanks for the visit and the comment.
@Melissa, thank you for sharing your blessings here with us. I am so happy for you and congrats on your magazine coming out. Friends make everyone's days, it's great to have good friends. Have a lovely Sunday, thanks for the compliment.
@Portia, welcome back from Venice and France 🙂 Thank you for your lovely compliment.
You truly know how to light up my day Outlier. Reading your post now lifted my otherwise low spirit today. We have so many things to be happy about and yet we keep thinking of the sad things. You put me to shame. I promise to dwell on the smaller pleasures in life and all the other happiness each day brings me. Love you.

@Rimly, You make me so happy with your words and promises my dear Outlier! If we give thanks for all the little things we get in life these keep getting bigger and one fine day our lives are full of happiness and love.Remember sad things but occasionally 🙂 Thank you for your most amazing comment.
It's still really early in the morning here, but so far, finding many sweet comments on my blog made me feel happy and cared about.
Then finding your post, seeing your mom recovering, the cute cups, and those perfect walnuts that look like little brains, all made me remember to be grateful and to enjoy the little things.
Thank you for that this morning.
Hugs & Blessings,
Leah
Cute moments Sulekha…keep smiling.
Smiling here. At christmas time one of our customs is to buy a large pack of nuts. Throughout this festive period i try so hard to crack open my 2 favourites without breaking the nut – i'm yet to succeed with either the brazil or walnut. This year i'll crack it right.
Sweet & Simple — This made me smile from ear to ear. The quote at the end is perfect! Also, inspires me to look at my day through a similar lens — thank you! Blessings!
Sulekha I clearly remember commenting..anyway here I go again..First of all I loved seeing your pictures…and it really made a difference to my day,teaching me to enjoy the simple things life has to offer.My day had nothing unique..just another lazy Sunday,the only highlight being a hair spa..
My smile this morning came from my grandson and his antics. Oh it is a wonderful day. thank you for the post.
What a beautiful face your mother has Luks. She is lovely. So glad she is out walking. You made me smile.
I've smiled today…laughed, snuggled with my little one's, hugged & told my guy that I love him before he left to run an errand and I took a nap.
I read this and got teary eyed because I know the feeling of watching someone sick…and when I saw the sweet, sweet picture of your Momma tears came to my eyes.
Thank you for reminding me of all that I am grateful to have in my life!
Smiling at simple things… Today I cleaned my office and cleared out a bunch of stuff I no longer need. It was hard work, yet rewarding. Still, a simple act.
Love the photo of your mom! I wish her well!
I love the photo of your mother and glad to know she is doing better. Aging parents is a whole new play book, isn't it?
Yes, I've smiled today – a lot! The cups you bought made me smile – they are the neatest ones I've ever seen.
And, it is, sometimes, the simplest things that bring us the best smiles.
Blessings!
@Leah, Yes sweet comments on our blogs makes our day happy 🙂 Thanks for making mine wonderful My mother is a fighter and I am so thankful to god for giving her back to us. The cups are cute too, right? Little things make a world of a difference.

@Martha, Welcome and thank you for wishing my mom well. I love the cute cups to distraction 🙂
For me it was being at the Kundalini Yoga festival in Rishikesh and getting the chance to sit by the ganges and dangle my legs in her cold waves. to see the sunset while listening to the live performance by a couple of known artists…
@Savira, WOW… love your happy moments.Hope you have many more like those, god bless and thanks for the visit and comment.
It's the small, simple things in life that can cause our hearts to smile the biggest smiles. Loved the pic of your mom…and the cups are super cool! I'd love a set of those at our house!
~blessings and peace
@Jessica, Thank you for the compliment, Mom is cool. Life is measured by the small steps we take to make it beautiful.
Aww, mum. The cups are *adorable*! Ak and I both love them. So cute!!

Thank you my darling, good to see you here 🙂 Love to you and AK…
Today, it is still relatively early but good reading with hot coffee has made me happy. Yesterday, I found a stack of photos of my daughter when she was really young and that was a highlight for me 🙂
This made me smile! Smiles can brighten up any day and I have seen so many times when we get very unfriendly people at the hostel how smiles can turn a situation around. People are not appreciating the little things in life any more that makes us smile…great post!
Well you made me smile also .so thanks.
It is the truth that big and small things can make us smile.. sometime just looking at Phyllis or my cats will bring a smile to my face.

@Andy, thank you for your visit and the lovely comment on my Mom's picture. Moms are great, thank god for them.
Sulekkha, this post makes me smile! How lovely to read that your mum is feeling better and is able to go out on her walk! Those wonderful cups! It's no wonder you had to bring them home! Roxy makes me smile and giggle. So does my son. He's away for five whole days so I'm afraid I'm a bit sad but he did make me smile before he left! 🙂
@Bella, welcome to my blog, after a long time 🙂 Lovely reasons for your smiles, love them. Thanks for your wonderful compliments. Love to Roxy…
