The Green Lantern

I decided to participate in the  #100HappyDays Challenge and share the picture story on my blog too. And so here I am with happy stories to show. Come, have a dekho! My personal hashtag is #BlogwatiGSmiles. Yeah, it’s all about ME! And since it is Wednesday, I am gonna club Wandering Wednesday with this post. Two posts with one keyboard, yup that makes me happy too! *Wide Grin*

This pic was taken in the wee hours of this morning while the world was still half asleep. That is my solar lantern that I picked up on my last trip. And I totally love it! I own two of them. They adorn my balcony garden and glow in a soft light as the night grows darker. Just looking at it brings serenity, peace and joy. Somethings are enjoyed subtly.

And as my thoughts come tumbling down, I realize to make yourself heard, you don’t need to shout. And just coz you do scream from the rooftops, it does not make you right. This little lamp had none of that ostentatiousness. It simply hung in its own place doing the job it was defined to do. So are all of us. No one appointed us as the Messiah. Nobody takes us that seriously, so why the charade of upliftment of the downtrodden behind closed doors? The last I heard, bras were doing fabulously well in that area. 😉 So, let’s just shine bright with all our might, shall we? For I clearly recall God saying, ‘Let there be light.’

    Oh my. It looks so pretty. I lovvvve this color. Yes, bras are doing their job pretty well indeed, so we simply shine for all we are worth, as best as we can 🙂

    Beautiful lantern. I have a very sedate looking solar lantern. Totally salivating at the sight of yours :). Sigh! Sometimes we just give ourselves too much importance I feel and think that we are somehow carrying the entire earth on our shoulders. Like you rightly said, we must all aspire to shine for all we are worth and somehow the world just becomes nicer on its own. Nice thoughts.
