Yesterday was the last day
of my ‘spent’ life
and today is the first day
of my ‘rest’ of life
‘rest’ turns into ‘spent’
in no time…

Perspective and attitude are the sparks, I think, in how one views life. There needs always be purpose to one’s life however much that…”rest of life” may be. Wonderful thought-provoking piece, Kaushal. I love its deep nuances of seemingly simple words.

Thank you, Kaushal, for this prompt reminder that time is of the essence in our lives, and has to be used presently;
“to leave our footsteps in the sand” of history.

Wow, the contrast between two pictures. And I agree with you that life is never misspent although sometimes we think so due to our anxieties.

Another terrific piece KK. So much truth and a truth that I have been thinking about a lot today due to hearing of my close friends illness yesterday. We only have today and then it is “spent”.

Thank you, Siva Jyothi for your comment! Don’t go so deep. What I mean to say is that if we don’t utilise today, it will become past, a part of our spent life. Today is the bridge between past and future. Hope I’m clear to you.

Nice words Kaushal. The key is to keep moving on and striving to make every day meaningful. We get a fresh chance every morning to make our day count. Great use of the two contrasting pictures to emphasis the point in very few words. You have a unique gift of conveying deep thoughts using few words.
