“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” ― Tom Bodett
I was in Delhi once and this Peepal tree was my waiting place. I read a book here, had lunch and waited. Two squirrels kept me company all along. Some days are hard but have you noticed there are still things around that can take your mind off all that’s hard? This tree, those leaves and the little squirrels were my happy things around on that day.
Side note – Sorry for missing out the October 8 edition. One of those weeks that I did not remember I had to post. Thank you for those who reached out and checked on me. It means a lot.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on November 12, 2020. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
