It sometimes surprises me, and I keep asking myself the question how I am still living in this world of death and pandemic? 

I congratulate myself when I have all these kind of feelings. I feel blessed that I got another day in my life. So I never keep myself away from celebrating my life in whatever way I can.

The things that help me celebrate my living are these small small things.

Wind chimes and dream catcher-

I have three to four wind chimes in my house which are all made by my husband. He has made them so wonderfully well that all throughout my house I can hear these bells ringing.  These bells increase my mental peace. I just love them.

I have also bought one dream catcher from Dharamshala last time I went there. This is a magnificent piece of art which attracts me very much. These things are something which increases my mental calmness, I don't know why.  I don't find people having such feeling always but I do feel great. These are the things which I bought and got prepared during the pandemic only.

Singing bowl-

 I bought a singing bowl from Dharamshala. Each day I offer prayer to God with incense stick and conch shells blowing. I do not forget to ring this singing bowl. This bowl produces a strong vibrating sound which enhances the peace of mind in me. And I love the sound of this bowl.

Flowers-

 I have a big tree with beautiful flowers in my neighborhood. I collect the flowers whenever I can and put them in a floating vase in my dining table. Flowers makes me appreciate the beauty of nature.

Birds- 

I have a small place in my balcony where put water and food for birds. I see pigeons, sparrow and different other birds coming and sitting on my balcony and increasing my happiness. I feel so happy when I see these birds coming.

Online tour- 

Now that we cannot go out anywhere for vacation. I go online touring to different places through my apps and online resources. And trust me I feel blessed that I get to see the beautiful places safely sitting at home without going out. 

Music-

 I am a singer. I use my time wisely by singing in different apps and give music lessons online from home. So I feel great doing them. I learn music each day and increase my skills as much I can. This gives me immense joy.

Handmade crafts-

I do stitching, embroidery and woolen work and also make jewelries and painted bottles. This gives me a satisfaction of great height which word cant express. And I thank God for giving me these joy in this time of Pandemic .

Cooking-

I make new dishes for my family and I love food a lot. I enjoy serving good food and enjoying them too. This gives pleasure of a different kind.

Writing-

This actually helps me to expresses my heart out. So I enjoy it a lot.

Reading-

I have stocked books and magazine for a lifetime. Since I wont be able to go out. I entertain myself with good books whenever i feel like.

Chatting- 

Chatting with friends, relatives and family helps me to get a feeling of immense joy. So I connect online to take information about my near and dear ones. 

So what I want to conclude is that. I feel very grateful that I am still living and leading a satisfying life. So all of us should feel happy that we are able to enjoy life till now, at least.
