Hey Amazing Hearts !
Hope enjoying the beauty of life and glory of weather :)
Thank you so much for wonderful replies on my previous post , i really appreciate the sweetness and generosity of all of you for sharing your thoughts over the topic i pick ,so nice of you!
I forgot to share my concept of beauty with you guys which is ,
"THE TRUTHFULNESS " , of course it includes the all kinds of Actual beauty !
Measure to this beauty i consider the
TRUE PEACE OF MIND AND HAPPINESS AS SCALE .
If a thing is calming my soul and soothing my restlessness it is beautiful !
If it is setting me free from all false temptations and leading me to the origin of true joy and contentment it is beautiful !
If it is connecting me with my origin ,to my Creator (whoever he is) it is beautiful!
Enough i think .
Our last two days were filled with happiness as family, as our eldest son was free from his exams and he had four holidays before the new semester starts , so he called us daily for hour atleast :)
His next and final semester is starting from tomorrow which will end in July .
Then there will remain only thesis that will last for six months (until December i think).
We asked him about his future plans but he said he is moving forward steadily with no desperation.
Things will be clearer by the time as he thinks his job is only to try his best which he is doing.
His answer was great satisfaction for me , i feel so peaceful when i find his attitude as positive and stable .
He always prefer to live in present moment with his contentment and smooth struggle for better future.
His positivity keeps me strengthened with hope that Lord will ease his ways and reward him for his constant silent hard work one day hopefully!
During the holidays my son went for cycling with one of his friend as weather of Munich was glorious for outdoor adventures .
But unfortunately his fellow rider (also from Karachi and classmate too ) fell and hurt her knee .
This made my son quite upset but luckily an old German lady with graceful heart passed by and helped the girl to feel better .
My son told that kind lady pampered his friend so much ,later young lady called her boyfriend (German) who came and took her to her residence as there was no serious injury so was no need to go to the doctor .
During our stay in Karachi before my son left i visited her house though she herself was in Germany but she insisted my son to take me to her house , She belong to quite establish family ,his father is work in private t.v channel ,i Met with her mother who seemed really incredible lady with wonderful humble personality . I met her sister who was typical teenage young lady ,very intelligent and had great sense of humor ,i really enjoyed my time there and returned with pleasant memories. her only brother lives in Japan since few years ,not just he but his sister can speak Japanese fluently which was amazement to see.
There is forecast for more rains on Wednesday but until then we are having rough temps here (40 plus) since three days ,hoping for better though !
You guys enjoy the present day without worries of past and illusions of future :)
Who know what comes next ???
So stay Blessed with Faith in your Creator and faith in yourself!
I know you can do this most amazingly :)
God Bless You All!!!
I like your take upon beauty. I have been trying to come up with a comprehensive definition myself since your original post.
ReplyDeleteI think that your son has it right. I tend to believe on concentrating on achieving success in the short time. I find that if one works both smart and hard in the here and now, then the long term will take care of itself.
Thank you dear Brain for kind words!
DeleteYou are always so encouraging as I am not well read of books though
But I simply speak my thoughts with honesty that is best I can do :(
I found your earlier reply very convincing and authentic because it conveys your spontaneous views over the topic
A beleza mais importante e verdadeira é aquela que vem da nossa alma.
ReplyDeleteGostei das coisas interessantes que contou e das fotografias.
Uma boa semana.
Um beijo.
Glad your son is well and that his friend's knee is ok.
ReplyDeleteGlad your son's friend is okay!
ReplyDeleteIn the first part of your blog you deal with peace and happiness. this reminded me that I take those good things for granted and never think about them.
ReplyDeleteDear Red sometimes our vision is blocked by fog of illusions ,we can call it process of learning though .
Deletebest part that we learn end of the day and earn wisdom enough to look through layer of fog things that really matter to us
Oh I am glad your son's beautiful friend is Ok!
ReplyDeleteYes, your idea of beauty is so profound...I have been pondering it's true meaning ever since reading your previous post. You certainly set me thinking!😊
I do think your son has the right idea. Concentrating on the present, I'm sure, will lead to success in the future.
Have a fabulous day, dearest Baili!
Lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤
Great definition of beauty! Your son is wise to continue to do his best in the here and now and let tomorrow come on its own. Glad to hear his friend is OK and that you enjoyed your time visiting her home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your definition of beauty, Baili. I knew that it would not be physical beauty; and, as always, you gave me lots to think about. It's great that your eldest son get a break after his studies and was able to talk with you. I'm glad that his friend is okay after her fall from her bicycle. The German lady was kind and helpful; again proving my faith in the goodness of ordinary people.
ReplyDeleteTerry and I went for a walk early yesterday afternoon. It was chilly and windy and the sky was filled with threatening clouds. Sure enough, on our way back from the turning point in our walk, it began to sprinkle. Terry ran for home, but I walked. I was thinking of you, and wishing you could feel the cold rain, the strong chill breeze, and our temperature of 15º C. I had to stand by the fireplace and warm up when I got in the house. It's rainier and even chillier today.
Take care, my friend! Sending you a big hug!
It is always nice to receive news about your son. I like your ideas of beauty. There were many in the comments of your previous post that I liked too.
ReplyDeleteHope you can stay cool Baili. I cannot imagine a temperature of 40+.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your definition of beauty, baili (I never got here to leave my own but it would have been very similar). Anything that lifts my heart, anything that moves my emotions - those are the things I find beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your rain and that it cools things down. I know it gets much hotter there but if there are some breaks it makes a difference.
I'm so glad you had extended chats with your son. He is such a good son, keeping in touch and caring about your wishes and feelings. I think he has the right idea, to work hard at the thing he is doing at the moment and wait for the future to reveal itself.
Hugs, my friend. I hope you are feeling better!
Thanks for sharing your definition of beauty.
ReplyDeletePleased that your son is well, that's a nice selfie.
Glad his friend's knee is all-right.
All the best Jan
Some scratches always happen, baili.
ReplyDeleteNo big deal, it's all part of the growing process.
I like the way you see beauty! True peace of mind is something is beauty indeed! Glad to hear the girl is fine. Glad they took care of it to avoid an infection. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteBaili, I'm sorry your son's friend hurt her knee while cycling. It's good to hear that your son is doing well, and his good and positive nature is wonderful to hear about. My son used to grow his hair long, which I liked, but I always like to see him with short hair and a shaved chin haha.
ReplyDeleteTrue peace of mind and happiness IS beautiful, and it's nice that you said that. I hope the remainder of the April days are delightful for you, dear Baili.
~Sheri
either i wanted my son to stay shaved chin lol ,how we think alike as mothers dear Sheri
Deletei want to see all men of my house with short hair and to me they look decent this way though i know the new concept of random and rough look is popular among youngsters specially the torn geans which are beyond my comprehension
i still want to look my sons in sober dressing and look and it is natural wish as mother i think
but i also believe that they should not be forced to follow our wishes
let them learn with freedom of choice :)
A nice definition of beauty, dear Baili! I agree! You have a wonderful son - kind, hard-working and good to his friends and especially his Mother. You must be very proud of him. Glad that his friend was not injured too badly. Blessings xo Karen
ReplyDeleteLiving in the present moment is a very good thing. It brings contentment and peace in life. You have such a wonderful family, and your son seems to be doing very well with his studies and his life. Wishing him, and all of you, well!
