I am OK. Not really!

I did ok,
I went for trekking, exhausted halfway,
I did ok.
I made pancakes, burnt half of them,
I did ok.
I arranged a party, half turned up,
I did ok.
I painted a peacock, colored it yellow,
I did ok.
I called grandmom, forgot her birthday,
I did less than ok.
I finished my meal, threw the salad,
I did less than ok.
I bought a purse, lost it in one day,
I did less than ok.
I went to Rome, did not see Michelangelo,
I did less than ok.
All my life, i settled around 'ok',
I did less than ok.
I think, I never tried for the best,
I always settled for ok.
Maybe,what appeared best,
was actually only ok.
Maybe the word 'ok' is so toxic,
that it made me adjust 'ok'.
Or maybe I am just another,
one of the millions modern world's slaves of 'ok'.

Our very own Xmas creation! Christmas is here and I have a very exciting project to share with you. Remember how we collected all the waste available in the house and make something fun out of it? This is exactly what I did this Christmas but with a twist. This time I went outside and collected some tree branches, dried flowers and bird feathers. The result was amazing. Everytime I make something out of waste it makes me happy. This time it was more fun because it was my friend who made me do all this and helped me ideate and create this beautiful Xmas tree. Its so much better and easier when you work with equally enthusiastic person. So without wasting much of your time, here I show you how to make this...... We first went out and picked up: 1) tree branches 2) dry flowers 3) crow feathers Waste stuff in my Junkyard that I already had: 1) cleaned acrylic color bottles 2) waste tic-tac boxes and other small boxes 3) old out of use t-shirt

“…but better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”  “it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.” “Like a compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always.” “It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime…”   " A man’s plumbing is like his mind: simple, very few surprises. You ladies, on the other hand…well, God put a lot of thought into making you. " " There is only one sin. and that is theft… when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth. " " In the end, the world always wins. That’s just the way of things. " " Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the VOLUME on life. Silence is pushing the OFF button. Shutting it down. All of it. "   " If there’s a God out there, then i would hope he has more important things to att
