Parents' feeling in old-age - Emptiness!

This statue, titled “Emptiness,” is a powerful and deeply moving expression of what many parents feel in old age when their children are no longer by their side. It captures the quiet loneliness that settles in after years of devotion, sacrifice, and unconditional love. The empty space speaks louder than words—of homes once filled with voices, routines now reduced to silence, and hearts waiting without complaint. It reflects not anger or blame, but a gentle sorrow and longing. “Emptiness” reminds us that aging parents do not crave possessions or comfort as much as presence, connection, and the simple warmth of their children near them.

Share happiness!

A professor once gave a balloon to every student. Each student inflated it, wrote their name on it, and tossed it into the hallway. Afterward, the professor mixed all the balloons together. The students were then given five minutes to find their own balloon. They searched frantically, but not a single student succeeded. Then the professor changed the instruction. He asked the students to pick up the first balloon they saw and deliver it to the person whose name was written on it. Within five minutes, every student had their own balloon back. The professor smiled and said, “These balloons represent happiness. When everyone is only searching for their own, it remains elusive. But when we care about the happiness of others, we often discover our own along the way.”

Dad, you still live within me!

This heart is for my dad in heaven. For the hands that once guided mine. For the voice that made the world feel safe. For a love that gave endlessly and never asked for anything in return. There are days when I miss you softly, and days when the silence is too loud to endure. I miss your presence, your gentle care, the way everything felt lighter simply because you were there. Growing up without you has meant learning to carry grief and gratitude side by side— grateful for the love you gave me, and brokenhearted that our time together was never enough. Dad, you still live within me— in my heart, in my memories, and in every quiet moment when I wish you were here. I miss you beyond words. And I love you, always.

Value 'Peace of mind'!

I’ve reached a place where I no longer feel the need to argue. I don’t explain myself endlessly. I don’t rush to correct every misunderstanding. When someone gets it wrong or makes assumptions about me, I simply smile and say, “Okay.” Because there comes a point in life when you realize that your peace is far more valuable than being right. I’ve learned that not everything deserves a reaction. Not every opinion carries weight. Some people are determined to misunderstand you, no matter how clearly you speak. And trying to convince them only drains your energy. So I choose silence. I trust that life has its own way of revealing the truth. The universe teaches lessons far more powerfully than arguments ever could. I’ve seen it time and again—those who judge loudly often learn quietly, through experience. I am at peace with who I am. I know my heart. I know my values. I know the path I’ve walked. I no longer carry the burden of proving myself. Other people’s perceptions don’t define me. This mindset has brought a deep calm into my life. I feel lighter. More grounded. More in control. My focus is on what truly matters—my growth, my peace, and the people who recognize my worth without needing explanations. So I choose calm. I choose peace. I choose to protect my heart, my time, and my energy. And that choice has changed everything.

Enhance your health by standing BARE FOOT!

Standing barefoot on natural surfaces like salt, sand, or moist earth, sometimes called grounding or earthing, may offer more than just a relaxing sensation; it could influence your nervous system and physical well‑being. Walking or standing barefoot on the ground stimulates thousands of nerve endings in the feet, providing rich sensory input that boosts proprioception (body awareness) and enhances balance and coordination. This stimulation helps engage muscles in the feet and ankles, which can support posture and muscular activation. Research into grounding also suggests that direct contact with the earth may help the body regulate stress responses by shifting the autonomic nervous system from a fight‑or‑flight state toward relaxation, which supports calmness and helps reduce cortisol levels. Some studies indicate grounding is associated with lower inflammation and better circulation, potentially contributing to improved sleep quality and overall relaxation. Though more large‑scale clinical research is needed, available evidence and user reports point to sensory, circulatory, and nervous system effects that make barefoot grounding a simple, low‑cost practice for enhancing physical and mental well‑being.
