I am dependent upon your infinite mercy
I believe that your kindness
And wisdom will guide my steps
Show me the path to tread
Give me the courage to face
What challenges there are
In my way for I alone can’t
Be what you want me to be
Without your guidance
And without your light
I am dependent on your infinite mercy, O GOD

Re blogged from Megha’s world
Have you met them
They are the knowing ones
Who are in possession of all the wisdom
They are the experienced ones
Who know how to do things right
They are the learned ones
Who have read every book there ever was
They are the skillful ones
They know the intricacies of art
They are the one who are always right
Who haven’t ever made a mistake in life
They are the creative ones
Who can design and draw like no other
They are good with animals and kids
Who can teach you all about pets and children
They are great with numbers
Who can instruct you in finance
They are such good psychologists
Who can tell you about all you mental kinks
They even have full medical knowledge
Who can treat all your ills
Have you met them
Who are they
Are they you or me
Have you met me
Have you met you
Let me know what you think of my post.
Waiting for your feedback and comments

Thank you so much,
Mel of Crushed Caramel who has tagged me for the
Health Quotes
My selection:
HEALTH IS THE GREATEST GIFT, CONTENTMENT THE GREATEST WEALTH, FAITHFULNESS THE GREATEST RELATIONSHIP.
BUDDHA
Well we all agree that Buddha was a great thinker and a person with the gift of insight , so it follows that he is absolutely spot on.
Health is a gift which we really appreciate when we don’t have it that in sickness. If you don’t agree with me, it means you haven’t been ill, ever!
THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH IS TO EAT WHAT YOU DONT WANT, DRINK WHAT YOU DONT LIKE, AND DO WHAT YOU RATHER NOT.
MARK TWAIN
Another wise guy, Mark Twain! He knows what he was talking about. And don’t get any wrong ideas there!
But eating stuff you don’t want, he meant the healthy things like vegetables, salads, broccoli, collard greens etc etc. It’s a long list. Similarly the things you don’t want to drink would be milk, veggie smoothies or some such stuff.
The last one is a bit ambiguous, but my take is that he meant exercise, walking and other healthy activities.
At least that I what I think Twain was saying in that quote. If there was some other hidden message in his words then it would not qualify as a quote on health.
So anyway these are my 2 quotes.
Now my 3 nominations:
I tag:
Fandango of this that and the other
Hoping to see your responses soon.

It is a coincidence that my post today was to be about the beneficial effects of exercise on us. When I checked the November daily word prompts for today, the “Fresh air no despair “ was fitting in perfectly.
Stepping outside into the fresh air, you instinctively take a deep breath. Just to take in all that wonderful fresh air. Going for a run or jog in the fresh air has an uplifting effect on us. Exercising and doing workouts releases a brain hormone, called endorphins.
What are Endorphins? These are chemicals released in brain when we exercise for a certain amount of time at a certain intensity. 
Also known as feel good hormones, endorphins are great mood elevators. After about twenty minutes of exercise of moderate intensity, our brain starts to release endorphins. This is the cause of a euphoric feeling or the runner high.
These chemicals are produced in our brains to relieve stress and pain. The euphoric and analgesic effect are the main reason why people become addicted to exercise, running or jogging. These chemicals also have a sedative effect and that’s why a good run ,walk or workout gives us a good night sleep.
Endorphins not only have a relaxing effect on our bodies but also trigger a positive and uplifting mental outlook. It chases away the anxiety, despair and depression.
Psychologist and psychiatrist also recommend physical activity for a certain time every day to keep depression and anxiety at a minimum.
So let’s put on our running/ walking shoes and go out to enjoy the fresh air that is going to blow away the cob webs from our minds , chase away the blues and energize our body and brain. It will also stimulate our thinking and bring fresh ideas about writing!
So, Endorphins, anyone?
Let me know how you like my post.
Waiting for your feedback and comments.

Each snowflake is Unique
Just like each of us
All in our own way
All are different
Some like it this way
And some like it that way
There are people who think
White is black and black, white
Others would say night is day
And the day is night
All have their own creed
Their way of living and doing
One cannot be the judge of another
No one can sit on the high throne
And tell me how I should be
Or the other what to dream of
Don’t take our uniqueness away
Don’t ask us to conform
We aren’t all created in one mold
We all have something that’s only our’s
And like a snowflake we are all one in a million

People say that Money makes the world go round!
So, being realistic, we must acknowledge that money is one of the essentials of life. In today’s world, survival without money is quite impossible, for any person. That is the reality. From the time that we get up from a warm bed in the morning till we go to sleep at night, all that we do, requires money.
How much we need and how much we want? That is a question, best answered by any given individual on their requirements and outlook on life.
I have heard people say that Money is at the root of all evils. But money can be used for good and IS being used to make wonderful changes to the lives of many people. So the desire to have money is not evil or even unreasonable.
If you are an idealist, you can achieve your ideal goals if you earn enough money. For the realist, no need to point out the obvious, money will enable you to live the life you want.
But if things were so simple and straightforward, there wouldn’t be any problems in our lives. The complications arise when the object of earning money becomes a goal in itself. Then, we are not thinking, that we will be doing this or that with the money we earn, but how to make money becomes our prime object in life. The means to achieving our mission in life, becomes the mission of our life.
It is at this point that our priorities change and we enter the rat race. “But the trouble with being in a rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat “( Lily Tomlin) ! Trying to compete with each other to be on the top becomes our objective in life.
That is why, we have to separate our Needs from our Wants . Unless we do that, we can’t avoid the unfulfilled life that is a result of needing little and wanting more!
What are your aims and objectives in life?

The advanced society around us calls for an education which can equip us to deal with all these modern day advancements.
People in my age bracket are learning or have learned the use of computers, smart phones, GPS, and other programmable household gadgets, like the coffee machine which can have your coffee ready when you are ready to have it! But I admit that some of these are a challenge for me. It might take me half a day, trying to figure out how something works. But that is advancement for you!
Whereas the kids today are equipped with a brain that picks up all these advanced technologies in a jiffy! Have you seen a toddler playing with his/ her mom’s /dad’s smart phone or tablet? Their chubby little fingers are dancing over the screen, a lot of apps are open and they are having a hell of a time.
