I feel pretty good--I have a feeling that today is going to be a good day. I have learned through personal experience to trust my feelings in this, so I think it's going to be an okay day.
Better than yesterday. My body still feels like a great big lump.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot
I feel better after having a late afternoon nap.

I am feeling happy today. Today I visited a very distant relative of mine far off in a country. The village was close to a mountain with a thick and dark forest and the thing that came to my notice is the simplicity with which they lived. I am from an urban community but not the urbane one. In my part of the city my neighbors behave strangely as if they are alien to one another. Out there on the other hand people do not become alien to one another no matter where they came from.
I went there with my family and we received a very warm welcome not only by my relative but by some other people whom I have never seen.
Children there were looking dirty. So what? They were very cordial to us. I really felt refreshed. Living in the city is not without hard and stressful moments. We have to meet many demands and expectations. There is a problem of adjustment if you are working in an offices, for we will have to deal with an obstinate boss, difficult customers, and envious compeers. A life full of competition is teeming with strife and hardship and have little leisure for doing something that appeals to us.
In the village I had a different feeling for they have too many problems, live in a dire poverty stricken living condition. But what makes them overcome all these constraints and enable them live better is they are always in touch with mature and this heals their minds and they live richly and sumptuously even amidst the things of poverty and such things resonate in my mind all day and I really am feeling happy today with this thought.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

I was happy. I changed my mind.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
