Happy Weekend.....:)

After my colonoscopy and endoscopy - I am still reading 'The Fault in my Stars' , waiting for few more diagnosis. Three days in this hospital room and I value my life more and more....but still little bit more time to stay.... (:

Cattails September issue has my haiku published. My two senryu are also shortlisted in a haiku journal. This was my first attempt at writing senryu. It was fun. I am happy. More happy that my friends had shared my haiku book information on their walls and FB groups. So many wishes had come.

Yesterday night was tough; I could not eat after 35 motions and had nausea.  It was horrible. I thought i will die. I closed my eyes and kept chanting gayatri mantra. I saw a faded glimpse of my life episodes. It was a different...some faces...few names...???

Believe in God. Happy weekend.

:))))).......

I am hospitalised and finally out of CT scan. I am waiting for my mom to reach. I am blessed with a great husband who took care of me since monday evening.

I will be in hospital for another few days. I am really tired. I realised a fact of life - it is beautiful.  Live it. Love it. Trust me - I have gone the worse of time in last few hours but God is there.  You have to live life.....FB keeps me happy at the hospital bed. Lol...I am reading Fault in our stars as well.....I hate these cannula(s).

The only message I have for my readers - do not fight for small things. Life lufe and love people.

Well - in two days from now you will get to see the link to my Haiku book. I just completed my book cover. Tomorrow, the day is to finish my final stage proof read. The cover is designed by me and looks so beautiful. I am quite unwell. I am writing this post with a canal in my arm. It hurts but after I finished my cover page - I am so happy.

After this book - I will be taking good rest for couple of months with just meditating and exercising with my instructors. I have seen a quite unwell time for the last three months. Time to pull up my socks to be back in shape and lose 4 kgs that I have gained (:...glad my inches are still the same but I am not happy with my health...so please send me wishes and prayers when you read this post!

Though, I will keep blogging :) and will be writing a haiku a day.

mood swings -
changing colours of water
in the midsummer
