GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #115

Take a break before you break down.

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #114‘.

Good morning Friends,

If you live in a crowded city or a town,
And you rarely allow Nature to come near;
Chances are that from sunrise to sundown,
You live a life of constant anxiety and fear.

“Will I reach my office on time today?”
“Will my boss be annoyed or happy?”
“I hope friends will let me have my way,
Rather than telling me to make it snappy.”

“The traffic is killing, the noise is a roar,
Everywhere I go I am never alone;
This one is annoying, that one is a bore,
What really have I got of my own?”

Take a trip to the green hills or plains,
And let Nature work its magic on you,
Walk in the clear air, be drenched by the rains,
Look at the flowers red, white, yellow and blue.

Enjoy your own company for a change,
Or share it with your partner, birds and butterflies,
Lo and behold you can, your life, rearrange,
Happiness soars and anxiety dies.

Believe me it doesn’t cost much to be rejuvenated,
It’s not money, you’ve got to spare time,
But, do it before you’re completely saturated,
With daily chores for which no one gives a dime.

Let me wish you a day and life today,
Wherein you do things for your own sake,
Where you allow Nature to have its say,
And tell yourself, “I deserve a break.”

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
