“THE MORE YOU CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE
THE MORE THERE IS IN LIFE TO CELEBRATE”
In case you missed the news that I shared last week on my Instagram ‘ my dad was tested positive for COVID back in India a month ago. He had to quarantine for three weeks, had milder to no symptoms and was tested positive twice before being cleared for regular life.’
The week he was tested positive, I was an emotional wreck. I felt so terribly. Other than praying, calling/facetiming my parents more frequently, there was nothing much that I could do from miles away. By God’s grace he was fine throughout, needed no medical assistance and is now back to his normal life and grind. It was in that moment I realized how unpredictable life could be, how things could change in a flash and how miserable you could feel seeing your close ones in pain. That made me realize how much we take things and life for granted. The essence of life has entirely changed. We are so lost trying to live life in the fast lane that we’ve forgotten to live today. What is there we ignore and what is not there- we desire. But not anymore; life is there today and will be history tomorrow or even today. So, let’s just take a moment, breathe, rejoice and celebrate LIFE.
Below are some, well 30 things I’m celebrating today…..
