God bless your day whatever your mood maybe.....
May the angels guide you and protect you from harm

If you are travelling, may you find the road
and arrive at your destination safely.
If troubles comes along the way,
may it turn into blessings favorable to all.

May you meet new friends and may the old ones stay.

May the love of our Divine Creator fill your emptiness
and may you feel it in the vastness of the universe.

If you get so tired today,
may you find time to look up the sky,
feel the air, recharge and rejuvenate

And in the all the things you did today,
may your faith increase.

May you be inspired by the diversity of people's personalities
and be grateful that you were granted the chance to lead them

And at the end of the day tonight, as you rest,
may you be thankful for all the blessings that this day had
and pray to forgive those who offended you.
Amen.

Whenever we feel the pressure of our complex city life

there is no more refreshing and relief feeling

than the sights of lovely trees , 

breathtaking sceneries of hills , plateaus, mountains 

with cool blue skies above ....

i love nature...... 

it teaches us to be simple , to be peaceful ...

never goes out of style never fails to impress me, 

uplift me ... soothes and heals ...

Nature is full of infinity... and divinity

Nature is an art of God........
