My reasons for being as mad as a hatter!

For …..

……I am cool as well as hot.

……I am sensible yet do child-like stuff.

……I am mature and love to show my feelings.

……I am mellow but still young at heart.

……I am grounded due to my values.

……I am real because of my candour.

……I am loving due to my family.

……I am simple as I have well-suited friends.

……But most importantly because I’m associated with people who help make me a better person, a superior risk-taker, a worthier friend, an improved version of myself who…..

Thinks in a superior way,

Acts more competently,

Loves more completely,

Smiles more attractively,

Communicates more effectively,

And is ME, more completely.

Thank you, all you voyagers who’ve dared journey, with me till today and who refuse to stay away from journeying with me onwards too!

Salut!

Some talented voyagers, who choose to journey on with me and make my life so much more worthwhile……

My extremely talented sis, who has captured the radiant summer flowers so beautifully in this water-colour painting, and captures the essence of what I say, may want to say, even what I do not say in her subtle but pertinent observations!!!

**A friend who remembers to send some cute token like this one which makes me feel good inside too!**

**A lovely organisation, which has featured in my writing earlier and a dear friend too…respect, awe…way to go!!**

**Oil pastels again from a vivacious PYT…..such inner beauty, reflects outside too and its appreciation ensures they help me appreciate it too!!**
