Roy T. Bennett Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

Thank you for all the good vibes you guys sent, I’m happy to report that my writer’s block is doing much better now. It’s still not a hundred percent gone but it’s much better than last week. I’m also feeling generally better today. For the last two or three weeks I had just been feeling so exhausted no matter what but this week I feel a little more refreshed.

Last week was sort of a dull week because I didn’t really do much. I mostly worked and took naps. But I did go out on Saturday with my cousin brothers for ice cream and to do some shopping which was fun. I got some really great, affordable press on nails which I’m excited to try out. They were only around 400 ksh (which is equivalent to $3) and they are so minimalistic and so pretty.

And about the quote, I really enjoyed this Roy T. Bennett quote. I have a tendency of making myself miserable for no reason. And I’m a grudge holder. This is a reminder to make more of an effort to let go of things from the past and make myself as happy as I can be.

What I’m Listening To This Week:

    Funnily enough I used press-on nails last week. I’m still trying to get the last of the glue off, but they were pretty while they lasted and George-the-dachshund loved the extra oomph when I scratched his ears. 🙂

      Aww that’s so nice. Have you tried using castor oil? It gets rid of nail glue really well.

    Glad your writer’s block is lifting and that you have been out and about again Pooja.
    I think that by holding onto a grudge you are punishing yourself far more than the other person. Acknowledge it and let it go is my motto!💕📚

    Your comment about holding grudges reminds me of this quote by Marianne Williamson: “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die.” Hopefully, you will avoid such dire results.

    Hey Pooja, glad to hear your writers block is slowly improving. I must say, from reading your posts, I never would have known you had a case of it. So congrats on faking it until you make it 😀

    As for that quote. Hmmmm. Well, I definitely agree with the first part. Except we’re going to experience those emotions no matter what. So don’t stay there, but don’t beat yourself up when you do experience them. It’s like falling down. It happens. We just have to get back up again.
    As for that second part, I totally disagree. We are going to be unhappy in life. Not all the time, but happiness is a condition contingent on circumstances. If someone expects to be happy all the time, they are going to have a miserable life because their expectations will be broken every single day. Joy on the other hand, transcends how you feel or the circumstances you are in.

      Hey, thanks so much. Haha yes, faking it till I make it works in most cases. At least in my experience.

      I totally get what you mean, you can’t be. happy all the time and negative emotions are a part of the human experience, For me, I interpret the quote as don’t dwell too much on the bad stuff, choose to let it go and find your happiness.

    What a great quote, and I love Roy T. Bennett quotes. I’ve never tried press on nails and used to go to a nail salon for acrylics, but it is terribly expensive so I stopped going. It took forever to get my natural nails back in decent shape.

    I’m glad your writer’s block is slowly improving and I am sure you’ll be back with great ideas for writing.💗

    I’ve saved so many lives because I waited too long to settle grudges. Most of my teachers are dead now. My parents are dead as well as their cohorts. It’s probably not cost effective to kill the rest. They are pretty dull and I don’t think I could make much of a mystery novel from an extermination of insects and vermin. Ordinary petty death is not much of a subject. Life is too short for a dictator to indulge in the emotions of the vulgar masses. Anger is best assigned to subordinates who eliminate threats. One’s best dream is to be a dictator of a country and to eliminate millions of opponents. This is the happiness dream of all children. As ridiculous as it is, a few will do it, and that is Armageddon. But I wish to be God just because I am so unloved.

    Hi Pooj! Yes, it’s a great quote. Of all those things I think resentment and holding grudges might be the worst as by letting those happen we are letting our perception of someone else’s attitude or actions dictate how we feel. Best to try and let things go, whether or not the offending person apologizes. Regrets just hold us back.

    Good to know the writers’ block is lifting!

    I love Leonard Cohen, he is depressing though… and nostalgic. The quote is exactly what I’m reading about this week, it’s the book about how to free yourself from chronic unhappiness. The mindful way thru depression is my latest eBay purchase, I highly recommend if anyone is interested. I’m still learning how to let go and move on, haven’t graduated yet, haha

    A TO THE AMAZING Quote Pooja. I like the words because indeed life is short to wrap yourself in anger, hate and grudge, just let go😍✨

    Also, I am enjoying my life Pooja and to show that, here is a joke my friend, it has been a while since I shared a joke with you.

    Three Two One, ACTION!!

    “Mom, why did you name my little sister ” Pooja” asks the Older girl

    “Well, it is because Pooja is a woman who does not eat Pudding 🍚🍙🍠and I though just saying ” Pooja” would make her allergic to pudding, it turns out she is indeed allergic to Pudding and Desert🍨🍧

    “Oh Mom, you are not fair, you named me ” Margo” , why since I love Pudding and not Mangoes, I hate you Mom who is now the “Mustard” Mum to me, haha😂😂😂😂😂

    See why it is key to name your kids words that matter not some food items that they hate👏
