God, I hate cleaning.. And now am forced to do it... Well, actually my mom advised me to clean ma shelf.. The sight of books arranged as if it was the great wall of china..and some papers inserted in between, I bet it was not a beautiful sight to watch...However this cleaning duty is killing my happiness..But opening old books, going through the doodles is kinda funny...thinking of the stupidity scrapped down by me...smiling at the books that were gifted to me by my dear ones..Sensing a bit of happiness when i saw the book (of the subject I hated ) covered by dust...though i had to clean it before replacing...I cant believe it..am enjoying the work..!!
But as they say....everything happens for a reason and and good that i started cleaning...well, this thought struck me when i read a piece of newspaper neatly folded and kept in one of my scribbling book...I was blown out on reading that.. Usually am a person who never forget things that i read.. However, this piece, though i have folded and kept it doesnt seem to ring any bell.. The first thing that came to my mind was to share this piece in my blog.. This is not my creation..however, I'll be much honored if atleast one person reads this...
Its wonderful..specially for those who are trying to find reasons to end life because someone dumped you...
because you lost one or may be two papers...
because your parents got divorced...
because your loved ones hurted you...
or may be because you dont find any reason to live...
Just go through the below piece...

"Life is a gift" is a forward that was sent in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.
If I had my life to live over...
* I would have taken the time to listen to my grand father ramble about his youth...
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about the grass stains...
* I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life...
* I would have gone to bed when i was sick instead of pretending the earth would go to a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day...
* I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last for a life time...
* Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I would have cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist god in a miracle...
* When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, " Later, now go get washed up for dinner."...
* There would have been more " I love you"s and more "I am sorry"s.....but mostly given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it....live it and never give it back...
- Erma Bombeck
Just wanna say that if life had only happiness, it would never have been a game worth playing...
There is only one life...Live it.....!! Enjoy it....!!
tk cr...keep smiling..!!
