145 Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace146 He who sits alone, sleeps alone, and walks alone, who is strenuous and subdues himself alone, will find delight in the solitude of the forest.147 Indeed, the sage who’s fully quenched rests at ease in every way; no sense desire adheres to him whose fires have cooled, deprived of fuel. All attachments have been severed, the heart’s been led away from pain; tranquil, he rests with utmost ease. The mind has found its way to peace.148 Resolutely train yourself to attain peace149 Do not turn away what is given you, nor reach out for what is given to others, lest you disturb your quietness150 The fool who knows he is a fool is that much wiser151 The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity. |

154 The one who has conquered himself is a far greater hero than he who has defeated a thousand times a thousand men155 The external world is only a manifestation of the activities of the mind itself, and the mind grasps it as an external world simply because of its habit of discrimination and false-reasoning. The disciple must get into the habit of looking at things truthfully.156 Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. |

There are many flaws in me baby and I know some of them very well. I’m trying to improve myself but I’m not trying enough. Hope by the time you are able to read this I’m able to overcome few of them. I have lots of little learnings to share with you and share my true experiences that might enlighten you like for eg
Having a routine of things and planning a month ahead are few of them. ( from details about food clothing travelling even to a mall etc being always in ready to go mode even at home ) So long story short today I saw drishyam 2 movie, the hindi version is still to com . What i felt was family is very important and to have. It’s the unity that counts. May be because of this reason I really wish to have a hugeeeeee family who can trust each other and not judge each other and always ate there for each other no mater what. Keep praying to have such family where I can be the mom. I want to understand the new generation learn from them . Grow myself. Anyway I wish that you take all good things from us as parents and help us improve so we can be your teammate in everything that you all do.
One more aspect I wanted to share with you. It’s about the thought of whether moms should work . It’s all about choices. So.e moms have to make hard choice and prioritize what they want at that time and all so because each parent have only and only this vision to Gove better life ti their children and keeping this in mind everyone strives to be better and more capable. Hope you also become a caring capable person who others can look upto .
I pray that you become a spiritual soul and always think about others. Help them only when you are capable of and most importantly never forget that in life we need to strive for everything ourselves. No monetary nor materialistic thing should be the goal unless you have achieved it yourself. So make the best out of the waste and anything that may not a value to others but to you its got an eye. Even a smallest grain. Lots of love Mom

So Carrie…just want to let u know that there will be times when your desires and attraction towards opposite gender will be so much..there is no harm in feeling that way but it will be more better if we focus on what we want to do in life hoping we get to know that through the help of us your parents and we can guide you correctly. Also will be so much happy if we can all share these feelings openly and feel comfortable telling each other and have no boundaries. |
| Sep 2 | Carrie and my other kids….this is something just came into my mind today and hope someday you read this …Love to me means respect. Respect which comes from someone you admire most of the things about. And this feeling is very different for different people. Love is very subjective.
Need a little secret to share |
