A Tiny Bouquet Of Small Joyful Moments

Hey amazing hearts! 
Hope beating up gratefully on positive rhythm. 

Our winter is leaving quickly :( yes despite the age protest against cold season still winter is loveable and so much welcomed by people of southern Pakistan sindh where summer is longer ( up to nine months sometimes though eight mostly) and horrible. Sweating season make everyone insane almost. So winter seems to us like a desired guest who is wanted and appreciated by all :) Though we want it to stay little longer guest has reached to the door and waving to goodbye. 
I know there are some terrible things happened in my homeland as well but I believe that my words about such traumatic events here can not do any good but only be way to spread sorrow and make more heart heavy so I will try to stick with theme of my blog that reflects my innate attitude towards life. And it is share happiness always because it doubles when do so and keep troubles to yourself because it shows your ultimate Faith on Divine presence who'support is delivered to you when you rely on it. It works fine for me until now. But you all know that I speak about my life issues though not as problem but a test I am going through :) 
Sharing below few pleasant moments dear friends. Hope they will cheer you up too. 


       As I mentioned sometimes that despite many squirrels visit my small garden everyday but they never let me take pictures and run up to the tree when I try to take one from far even. But few days back when I was having second cup of tea after hubby left for the office. One of them running and playing around came and climbed the plant calmly. She even sat there as I couldn't believe my eyes she did so. I put cup on bench and ran inside hastily. Picked up my phone and came close to the plant slowly. She didn't move but seemed she pose for me. I felt concerned f while if something was wrong with her but as I clicked she run down and then upto the tree. I zoomed little. Sor for dim resu my phone camera has become older like me 

    After returning from Karachi we went to see our niece ( daughter of hubby 's sister) who lost her baby when it was one month remained in delivery. We were late though due to our stay in Islamabad, then long sickness,lengthy rainy season and then construction work (3 months). But thank goodness she knew all was real. It was her first baby and both parents were very happy and excited but In fourth of pragnancy she fell loose motion and high fever. Doctors apologized for further treatment as they said she came late when intestinal infection could not be treated. That made her condition worse.parants her husband and whole family was disappointed and prepared to see heartbreaking concequences but as they say that life is death is held by higher power. After losing all hopes one day her husband took to Larkana big city four hours away from khairpur. Doctors told she has to admit immediately. She stayed at hospital for one week and then she, visited once in a week and she recovered withina month. After hearing all the story I asked why doctors who were seeing her refused at first. Her mother told that they asked for huge amount of money two lacs otherwise they cannot do anything. She told despite of all transportation expenses the treatment from Larkana remained below one lac. Such stories shock my soul to core. The doctors who had luxurious life already could not be sensitive to realize the value of another life sadly. I think greed is worst curse given to heartless. She has time left so God saved her though through different source. And this is great by the grace of God indeed 

     You can see her behind all in blue scarf on right 

      My. Most fav view. Lush, soothing and with winter 's comforting sunshine :) 

 We had Lees hope  to see spring blooms this year due to all the long construction work and sever disturbance by things and workers. But we were really happy to see that some of the plants have started to bloom which is amazing. 


Trying to give you idea how big this painting is. We have bought it from Karachi tho we had no idea how we will manage to carry through all the heavily crowded railway platform, then up into train vagan where people are completely unfamiliar with tern "que" and where we will place this 3by3 frame as berth itself is hardly two or few centimeter wide. Yet we can say that to make Impossible, possible all we need is desire, determination and above all focus with consistency and God helps you by aligning universe to support you. OK enough rants. Miraculously we could do it by leaving a berth assigned for painting and we tied it up with berth pipe. 



We wandered In many painting shops that day. I wanted most of them lol but I had bought many books before that so I knew budget was tight. So I filtered this one finally. It had positive glow that seemed uplifting to me :) 

Thanks for reading precious people! 

Please keep taking great care of yourself in all possible ways! 
Health, peace and happiness to you and to loved ones!

  1. Such beautiful pictures of you and your surroundings❤️🌈❤️ Thanks for sharing your story of life there.

    According to a ground hog we will have 6 more weeks of winter. And it has been a cold mother this year. Still dry in the heartland, but cold and windy. We have not had an avalanche of rain like in California nor the big snow storm like in Minnesota. Yet, the older I get the more I dislike winter. Even if I were to go south to Oklahoma or Texas they have had some disastrous ice storms. Of course, they don't know how to treat their roads like we do and that might be part of it. Yet Mother winter is definitely ready to put us through more bad weather..or so the weather men say.

    1. Dear Ellie sorry for troublesome weather. I think people are more talking about weather that is getting worse with every year.

      Unlike your area we don't get any snow here in southern Pakistan Sindh though neighbouring province Baluchistan it snows lot in winter which influence our temperature and we enjoy colder days with lower temps

  5. Hello dear sweet Baili! I'm so sorry to read of the loss your sweet niece suffered, and the hardship of finding a doctor to help her! Oh such sadness, but I'm so grateful that she did get help, and is doing okay. I will pray for her heart to heal too, as that must be so hard to lose a baby so late in the pregnancy. How amazing that you were able to bring such a beautiful painting onto the train with you, it is beautiful, and I can see why you fell in love with it! Winter continues here, we are supposed to get more rain/snow this weekend. Spring won't come here until March or April, but at least the days are getting longer! I think of you often, and in my prayers, love and hugs for you!

  9. Thank you. I come here to say hello. My neigbor told me about it. I enjoy what you have to say. I live in Utah, so we have a variety of attitudes and opinions. We endeavor to get along and help children and old people. It is not easy.

  10. I try to live without religions, but yes we have temples and religious places. We also have a variety of springs, trees, rocks and mountains. We rejoice in our birds.
    The dominant religion in Utah is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is too long to say, so most people just call them Mormons. You have to be firm with them. You can live in Utah. They are nice people and they have good hearts. But they will try to convert you.

  11. Baili, sorry to read what you posted about your niece and the loss of her baby. That was surely such a heartbreaking loss It was very nice to see the photos of yourself, your niece, and other family.

    As you are about to enjoy hot weather, here we are having the coldest weekend with overnight temperatures in the minus numbers.

    1. Thank you dear Dorothy!
      Loosing baby when mother is about bring him or her in the world is really heartbreaking indeed specially when it is first child that rise so many hopes and dreams in the eyes of parents.
      Oh our summer aren't enjoyable at all my friend. Our temperature is rising quickly 17 to 27 now during daytime and 2 to 16 during night. You can imagine it will reach to 30 plus in one to two weeks. And from May temperatures rise above 40 to 48 and 50 so next 8 to 9 months are matter of survival only

  12. Your last line says it all Richard
    People with specific mindset and set of ideas try to convert. I think religion is very powerfully displayed in the Nature if one has urge for superior force. Even a naive person with plain eye can realise by looking at natural phenomenon that some divine force is involved in creating such vast well organized scenario of life and universe.
    I can be convinced with any prospect that not just talk about God and his command regarding humanity but imply it in social systems as perfectly so there is no need to ask someone to convert but Inspire with righteous actions which please our creator only because we live according to his word loving all creations equally

    1. I am sorry dear Margaret that you too had such traumatic experience in past. Most older women of my acquaintance go through such sad situation and after marriage I continued to see ladies around who once or twice had miscarriages. Though I myself never experienced this by the grace of God

  16. Sinto muito que a sua sobrinha tenha perdido o bebé. Gostei muito das suas fotografias. A flor branca parece uma pintura. Por cá o inverno tem estado muito frio. Estou ansiosa para os dias mais quentes.
    Uma boa semana com muita saúde.
    Um beijo.

  18. I like and admire how you focus on the positive, Baili. I generally try to as well. If we're without positive feelings, then it is hard to hope and feel optimistic. I think is better to spread smiles and positivity. Maybe it will help someone else who is having a tough time.

    It's very sad to hear what your niece went through, Baili! I don't understand doctors who think of money before all else. I hope she recovers physically and mentally and emotionally soon.

    I had to laugh reading about you trying to capture squirrels with a camera. I can so relate! Squirrels are so frisky and are really hard to photograph. I'm not someone to sit around and wait for hours like some photographers. I'm too impatient ~ lol. I have to be lucky, like you were when drinking your second cup of tea. Well done, my friend. Your squirrel photo is cute.

    Lovely paintings. I too would have been attracted by the uplifting glow. Love to you and your family. Lots of blessings too.

  20. dear Louise yes i think that our world never lacked difficulties and bad happenings throughout the history nor it will because the game of life is designed to keep shift between numerous probabilities among which we find various colors as well of joy and sorrow .
    what i think is that there are so many news channels and social media to talk over bad things that make us sad .
    so i want to convey positive things only so readers may not feel low or burdened .
    my niece is totally fine now by the grace of lord!
    yes me too can't wait long for birds or squirrels, I have to be lucky like that day :)
    thanks you for likening
