Kissing Day!

I had always known that the 6^th of July was the Kissing day (Wikipedia also agrees with me) and don’t ask me how, there are some high school secrets *blush*. But I suddenly hear and read everywhere that they are celebrating the Kissing day today. Well who cares about the date? As such nobody needs a day to kiss, but since we have days for everything else, why not this? So assuming it is the Kissing Day today, I was wondering about something, it is Friday the 13^th and yet people are in a celebration mood! Really shows that people have indeed come a long way to leave behind the superstitions and omens of the old times. Isn’t that a great achievement in itself? I am proud of my generation!

Happy Kissing Day everyone! Oh and hope this Friday the 13th proves lucky for you'll! :)

Maundy Thursday

"Washed by your hands our feet restored
Wholeness and balance now assured
May they be used to serve you Lord
Your satisfaction is our reward" ♥ 

The Easter celebrations begin with commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, where he washed the feet of his disciples. Truly a humble soul, who washed away the dust of sin, pain and dread and also sacrificed himself for the love of others! Least we can do is be good to others and spread love like he did!

Wishing everyone a very blessed Maundy Thursday and I hope we live up to the last few words of advice that came out of his mouth…

 'And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' John 13:34

 

Easter brings in luck?

 

When a little bud blooms,
The sun stays up longer,
And the tan grows deeper,
They say it is spring
They do, but it ain't spring yet,
Not until we hear the first call of a cuckoo!

It felt magical when one of the most melodious sounds of nature rung into my ears today! Immediately I darted out, not wanting to miss the opportunity of watching a cuckoo, with nothing other than my phone in hand (now you know whom to blame if you feel that the picture isn't very clear).

Cuckoos are ideally not seen until mid April, but I guess I was lucky this year. More than anything, watching the bird personally was like an assurance that spring has indeed arrived and gone are the cold, dark days of the Winter!

A hint of luck before Easter, do you think?
