Each morning I look outside my window and sip my cup of chai. It's a peaceful time of day. Even though the scene is the same - the sky, the hills, the houses in the distance, the trees in my garden, the birds flying around - each day is different.
Some days the sky looks stormy, some days clear and bright. Some days you can see all the little details in the hills, some days they disappear in the mist. Each season brings a different hue to the hills and transforms the plants in my garden. There isn't a single day that looks the same.
Nature has taught me that nothing stays the same, the storms will come, the storms will go and the sun will shine again. The trees will bend and sway or remain still, leaves will fall and then grow again, the flowers will bloom, wither away and then bloom again.
Life is like that too. There are ups and downs. Sometimes life looks bright and cheery and sometimes it feels hard and lonely. We must learn to take the good with the bad and know that the bad times won't stay forever.
When life feels like a cloudy sky, I try to remember that the sun just hides behind the clouds and will come shining through.
And as I look outside my window, I am learning to appreciate each changing day because every daily nuance is a new experience.
May the storms you weather be small ones. Have an awesome day.
Warm Regards

How lucky you are to live in such scenic splendour . And I like the way you’ve compared every changing day to ever changing nature .
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunita. It is beautiful and peaceful but sometimes I miss the hustle and bustle outside Mumbai windows.
DeleteThe view outside your window is fabulous. It's so amazing to see such lovely colors right from your home.
ReplyDeleteThanks Raj. Sunsets and sunrises here can be pretty spectacular.
DeleteThe view outside your window is breath-taking! You are absolutely right, sometimes the brightness in our life is shadowed by dark clouds but we must be patient and wait for them to pass away so that the sun can shine bright again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kala. Good times will return and this too shall pass is one of my favourite quotes.
DeleteWhat amazing views and what a great learning!! True, accepting, appreciating and embracing the change is the way forward for everything! Thought-provoking post, Suzy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shilpa. Nature is a great teacher if we are tuned into her.
DeleteI love that image... It is so telling of how things change over time...
ReplyDeleteThanks Doc. Glad you liked the visuals. I thought I would put that together because sometimes pictures speak a thousand words.
DeleteYou have such a lovely view Suzy. So peaceful. I love the lessons that nature taught you, we should all keep that i mind. Nothing stays the same. Lovely soothing post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Balaka. Glad my post was soothing.
DeleteLovely pictures accompanying the window musings Suzy. You really live in a very gorgeous corner of the world - nature surrounds you all around.
ReplyDeleteYes nothing remains the same yet we persist on and thats something we all need to work on!!
Couldn’t agree more on that thought! The only constant in our life is the change. We have to face it, learn, adapt and move forward!
ReplyDeleteThat change is the only constant in our lives is a lesson that's apparent all around us in Nature and yet we are always caught by surprise when life takes an unexpected turn. You've put it so beautifully Suzy and I love the picture.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views through your window Suzy. You brought truth of life with your words. Beautifully penned.
ReplyDeleteThe views are so beautiful, Suzy. There is a certain calmness about this post that I like.
ReplyDeleteWow what a picturesque window sight.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that our life, moods, emotions are similar to views in nature. Nature is truly inspiring.
Very thoughtful and lovely post.
Wow you are lucky to see those scenic beauties daily. I really agree that, Change is constant in life, without which there is no fun
ReplyDeleteI always love the views you share, Suzy. I like how you put them together in this post and reflected on them. Life is indeed made up of light and dark, ups and downs. If only we would learn to observe it and accept it.
