The truth behind the hackneyed phrase- 'The grass is always greener on the other side'

Do excuse me as I venture into exploring a topic that is uncharacteristically serious for our little utopia.

As of lately, I have had the privilege  of having  plenty of free time in hand and I put that into good use, or so I like to think.  I allocated that time to indulge in quiet retrospection about our life here in 'Heaven'.

It occurred to me, albeit unsurprisingly, that we are caught up in a grind of nagging, complaining and stressing and all to no avail. Life in 'Heaven'  is challenging to say the least. It is so easy to get carried away in a whirlwind of negative emotions and spend a big chunk of  our time sulking.  Of course, there is pressure everywhere and a myriad of other things that we seem to hate with a passion!  So quite predictably, we are in a continuous quest of backlash and criticism. Even our break times fail to spark some cheer- now that is not what we used to be!  

So, I had a flash of inspiration :-)  and thought we must slow down a bit… we must  stop and smell the roses….

Surely everything in 'Heaven' is not dark and gloomy? If that was the case then we would not have made it thus far.  One cannot deny that even the most glittering careers and even the  best of workplaces, have their inherent drawbacks. 

Ok, now don’t get me wrong here,  I am not an advocate of 'Heaven' and this is not political propaganda!  The sole purpose of this micro blog is to promote a surge of positivity, so that we can get back to our cheerful lives in our own bubble, oblivious to the surroundings  but yet an integral part of it.  We are bubbly creatures after all!   We have met some great people here,  such as people with a great sense of humor and witty personalities . We’ve explored a colorful range of stuff together. The famous buffets, the obsession with Spas and Salons, Movie dates, blogging and Galadari Coffee breaks cannot be underestimated!  So I think we should stop sobbing, blubbing and complaining and start rejoicing in the good that is around us. 

It will be a matter of time before we all find new 'Heavens' and move out.  Until such times, lets start believing that the grass is actually greenest on this side! 

So here’s to more cheerful and happier times and fingers crossed that I will be able to practice what I preach!;-)
