The pink umbrellas of our lives

 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 #183

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞….!!!

Glancing outside my window on a warm evening, I noticed the rapid construction around our housing society—the dust, the concrete, the constant noise…

And then, suddenly, a pink umbrella caught my attention.

It stood quietly at the entry gate of a nearby building, shielding the guards from the harsh Puneri sun. Amidst all the grey and chaos, that tiny splash of pink stood out. For a brief moment, it made me forget everything else.

Next day on a training in office, I learnt about 𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 and 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬- anything which may disturb or trigger you

𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 – those small moments, things which make you happy

Being a Wednesday lets focus on the positive one- Glimmer

Learning about Glimmer, I realised that that pink umbrella was a small glimmer in the sober background. Something which gave you peace, happiness even for a small moment – and made you forget all the worries.

During the training we were asked if we had such glimmers in our daily lives and I realised that

✨waking up and spending time in nature

✨clicking pictures during walks

✨ sipping a cup of tea alone and enjoying it

✨listening to the chitter chatter of a friend

All of these were my very own pink umbrellas or glimmers in my life!

So often we ignore these small glimmers- our own pink umbrellas protecting us from rain or sun. We get so busy in our daily lives with work and family, that we forget to see what is brining joy to us- to the person you see in the mirror daily- why not tomorrow also see that pink umbrella in the mirror? - those small joys, moments, acts, things which make you happy and forget other things!

Look out for more of them!

(picture clicked attached- can you spot the umbrella?)

What are some of the pink umbrellas of your life?

I leave you to this thought along with two pics of small glimmers on this 𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚........ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒖𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌... 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆... 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 '𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔' 𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒆 '𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝑮𝒐𝒅' 𝒇𝒐𝒓! 😊
