Good Thoughts

Thought Thought (Day 37: 06 Aug 2013)

bring along good tides.

The world is a mirror; it can only reflect what is put in front of it.

Felicity, as is her name, was a very happy person. There was always an aura of cheerfulness where ever she happened to be. Everyone she knew liked to be having her around. Every day, Felicity thanked her late granny for making her who she is today.

When granny passed away last year, the locals witnessed the most crowded funeral ever in their locality. Friends, family, and people whom many did not know turned up to pay their last respects. While she lived, granny believed that what she did not see did not exist. She saw only the good in people and conveniently ignored any other trait in them.

She believed only good things will come our way as long we do not think badly of others. She went around doing good things for people in her neighborhood.  Even within her family, she had a knack of projecting positiveness all the time. Even she had to take sides during the kid’s fights, or handle her husband’s wrath, or face hard times, granny never let go of her “do good, feel good” attitude. At the end of the day, her household went to bed feeling complete.

As her kids grew up, the goodness imbibed into them by their mom grew and spread wherever they went. What began with her did not stop with her. Felicity was lucky to grow up under granny’s “goodness” wings and it sure did rub on her. Though Felicity is a busy career woman, she helped granny until her last days to help people who were in need. She lives by her granny’s motto – Do good for people, do good work, think good thoughts, be good to yourself and then only good things are bound happen.
