This is definitely going to make it to my list of `Fav pics of mom'.
Both of us were goofing around one morning before I set out to work.
It is her habit to bask in the early morning sun for at least 20 mts. Good for the bones, says the family doc. And mom is very disciplined about her routine. (I don't have that in me - discipline to me sounds like an occasionally-available-fruit).
This was taken in the balcony of our house where she usually communes with the sun.
Just like all moms of this world, my mother too has lived quite a bit of life. If you ask me I'd say the scale is tipped more on the hardship-side than easy-living. The lines on her face are her scars of victory over life.
And as I looked at her I realized her smile and laughter did come from somewhere deep within her. Resonating through her soul. Proof enough, no matter what, one can always laugh -truly. It's just a matter of knowing, no hardship lasts forever. And one can never truly forget how to be happy and how to smile.
A lesson to remember when your monkey mind tells you - that's it, I am never going to find happiness again, or I will never be able to truly laugh again because of what happened in my life.
That's a big fat lie.
Human beings can never forget to laugh. What is yours will always be yours.
