Memorial weekend

Its 3 day holiday for  memorial day. For some its just a time to spend with  their kids ,some its shopping thing with sales going around. But for some it means a lot ,cos they have lost their loved one's in some war. They want to remember them. I am staying here in US since 1999, but I did not anything till this day when it started & what do they do.Memorial day falls on the last Monday of May,honors the men & women who died while serving the American military.Its originally called as Decoration Day,it originated in the year 1971.

I spent the weekend with my kids remembering my Father-in-law ,he died during this time with cancer. Its hard to forget people you have lost.

Today I learned that never worry about the problems in our life, try to find bright side of the problem. While chatting with the friend about her US trip, she told me that I am lucky that I am staying in USA. She loved the places she visited & the cleanliness. I was complaining her that I don't get to see my parents back home that frequently.   She told me to look at the bright side of it that "they will pamper you & love you when you are here."

Colors of happiness come in different ways to different people.I was depressed the whole week about thinking I am not doing anything in my life. But today I was talking to one of my old friend about college days ,marriage and kids. She is working & have two boys, she told me that even after having perfect life she is depressed that she dose not have time to socialize & enjoy her kids achievement. So mind was saying to me that at least I am giving time to my kids & teaching them social life.

  I cannot say that I have a perfect life,cos I have emptiness of not working. But I do have few good friends with whom I can share my views & advice them. This is my happiness. Once during reunion of my relatives one of my moms sis asked a question like " When do you feel happy ?". So one person said "she is happy when her cooking comes good", other person said " When he wins the lottery". But one of my aunt said "I feel happy when I go to pee & empty my bladder" even though she is breast cancer survivor . So happiness comes to people in different ways in different times.
