You got, You!

Years begin and then they end,

Connections bloom,

May wilt and mend.

Loved ones come along,

Joyous times you spend.

When in need,

Their shoulders they do lend.

The path may seem clear,

But roads do bend.

Like seasons,

Change is the only constant.

Just you remain yours,

Until the very end.

Make time for yourself,

Be your own best friend.

Applaud the loudest,

For your tiniest wins.

Be your own sunshine,

When the light feels dim.

Set down that load at times,

Grab on to your dreams and fly.

Be the wind beneath your wings,

Reach for the stars up high.

Mute the noises as you please,

To tune in to your thoughts.

Blur out the extras in life,

To focus on what really counts.

This life is yours to live,

Paint it in shades you love.

Some may not understand,

While it might leave some in awe.

Chase your own kind of happy,

Chalk your own special story.

Allow yourself grace,

You are enough, honey!

Let yourself wander,

To experiences... new.

Learn, grow and shine on,

You... got you!

Let's Start with a Grateful Heart ♥️

It's easy to look around,

And let yourself wallow in what you have not.

But darling, look at your own beautiful life, 

Be grateful for what you have got! 

When you truly begin, 

To focus on the 'what is' 

Petty minuses blur,

And you feel pure bliss.

Things you take for granted,

In your 'mundane life', 

Is a mere farfetched dream, 

For some, barely alive.

If you wake up in your cozy bed,

Well rested, healthy.

If you own even a modest wardrobe,

With clothes which to you may seem ordinary. 

If you get to oblige,

The hunger and cravings of your belly.

If you have people to call your own,

And create a loving family.

If you have already nodded to the above,

Consider yourself blessed, honey.

You have one go at this magical life,

Give it your best shot.

Don't let comparison cloud reality,

Count your blessings with a grateful heart ♥️

- Nandita 💛

Happy 2023 to each of you! ☺️
