This time i have these digitally created berries. Don't ask the name as I just picked colours and tried blending to get a fruit. If you find any resemblance to any do share. 🙂 I am loving this tiring drawing style at the moment. Lets see what happens next... As for todays Quote "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ―Theodore Roosevelt.

Gratitude

By Ira -
thank you note
Source "As Time Flies"
There are times when someone tries to guide us but we feel as though we are under scrutiny. As long as the person is not harsh or negative we should be happy to have a friend like that. Who has time to rectify things in this busy world? At least, I consider such well-wishers around me as my friends. All my friends in this virtual world who have guided me some time or rectified a mistake I thank them today.

Do you stop to thank that person who picks up scattered things for you while you are juggling with your shopping bags or you just gather your things, turn around, and walk away? Most of us would go with the former, right.

I have come across people who ignore the helping hands as if they do not exist. Well, dear friend, you may be on this side of the fence but some day you might be on the other side and maybe then, you will understand how it feels. The worth of anything is realized only when it is not there with us. Showing gratitude does not make a person small or mean that the person is meek. It is a virtue of those people who fully believe in themselves and do not wither in the harsh reality of the world.

While we talk of gratitude, it does not mean compensating. Materialism should not form the base for reciprocation; sometimes such acts undermine the value of the good deeds.

"A small THANK YOU with a BIG SMILE can work wonders too."

Humanity needs compassion to move ahead in harmony.

    This is so very true - even just being grateful and saying "thank you" can mean so much.

    I always thank people who help me. Two months ago I fell, broke my wrist and got an enormous wound on my right leg. The latter is still not healed. All my neighbours came to help me, doing the shopping for instance, and putting the garbage container on the street.
    I am very grateful.
    Have a great weekend,
    Wil, ABCW Team

    For humans, good deeds are the main source of good fortune & wisdom. We should always remember that the applied wisdom is supreme.

    Nice article sis.

Gift

 “Where are you taking me?”  Riddhi asked annoyed with him for having forgotten to wish her, leave alone give the gift she had desired for on their first anniversary, an early morning breakfast with him and the sunrise in the background as the new resort in their city claimed. “Endurance my dear is the best companion at the moment,”   Atul replied with a kidding note in his voice. “Hope he has no despicable ideas,”   she recollected the news about the suicide by a young, much in love couple. In addition, she remembered him talking about bringing some   Project   to its conclusion.   “Was it she?”

What the Peonies told her?

By Ira -

Peonies, William Merritt Chase, 1897 Completely aware of what the   contents   in her bag could lead to she sat with poise at the corner of his fully packed visitors’ room; it could backfire and end as another   amusing   affair for the public. “Both their lives were about to undergo a drastic change, but then he deserved it after what he had done to her mother years ago; money was not everything though they had enough provided by him but what about identity,” She thought. As she sat, looking at the peonies, the fallen petals caught her attention, they no longer belonged to the bouquet that they adorned once and the ripples in that water stirred the essence of the lake but then it added a charm to its otherwise stagnant existence.  As she sat deeply engrossed in her own world, the secretary informed her that her master was ready to meet her, bringing her back to reality.  As if woken from a deep sleep she excused herself to use the w...
