The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

 This weekend, I rewatched the Clint Eastwood classic, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for N th time. I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this movie. However, this time, as I watched the movie, I was reminded of NRN's comment about a 70-hour workweek.

One of the memorable quotes from the iconic movie,  "If You Work For A Living, Why Do You Kill Yourself Working?"

In the context of NRN's commentary, the dialogue gains contemporary relevance. The idea of a 70-hour work week, while perhaps necessary in certain professional landscapes, raises questions about the toll it takes on individuals. Are we, like the characters in the movie, caught in a relentless cycle of labor, sacrificing our well-being for the sake of survival? It serves as a timeless prompt to reevaluate the balance between work and living, urging us to find meaning in our pursuits and to navigate the challenges of a demanding world with a renewed perspective.

Silent Love...

The only thing I have in my control and can give is love and the only thing I want is love. I want to continue to love you and think of you every minute of my life until my last breath. You have become an integral part of me and will stay in my heart and mind forever.  I don't want to make any attempt to restrict my thoughts or divert my mind. I feel at peace loving you and giving myself to you. I am very thankful and grateful for your presence in my life wherever you are.  I also know you can never find anyone else who loves you like I do. Whether you choose to be at the receiving end or not is your choice. Too bad if you choose not to for whatever reason, you are definitely going to be missing out on this once in a lifetime opportunity for this life! I hope whatever you choose is worth the sacrifice of my love. Songs on the playlist and the blog will speak to me in your absence.  My hope to be with you will never die! Remember that however long it may take ...

Life of my Dreams!

Beaches are my most favorite. Watching sunrises, sunsets, listening to the gushing waves, walking barefoot on the soft sand, watching birds fly over gives me immense calmness and satisfaction. I could spend   days at end just being there! A small house with open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows, with plenty of air and sunlight, with some trees and plants outdoor and indoors overlooking the beach as my abode. An art room with inspiring views of sun, sand and water with all the art supplies that trigger creativity.   A small kitchen garden with herbs and veggies, a kitchen with basic amenities to whip up some soulful wholesome meals. A curated collection of books and soulful music that inspire positive thoughts and aid in the journey of finding peace and joy.     This is the life I dream of… Will I have a strong will to be all by myself living this dream?  Will I long for a companion who is willing to walk hand in hand on the sandy shores and share my dreams? ...
