WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - BLACKPOOL BEACH, UK

Sight of a beach always gives us a broad smile. Visiting them during Summer break is even more special. With lots of laughters around and children playing with their kites and walking to and fro from the waves is a happy feel. But at times, especially during lockdown, with minimal people and noise..... could hear only the laughter of the waves.

THANK YOU CARD - Pista shells

Gratitude is one of the most amazing personality trait, I strongly believe which makes a long beautiful relationship among people. Receiving or returning kindness always gives a pleasant feel. Every moment or every person we meet in our life will give us a learning or will impact or influence us. 

I am grateful to......

•  all the key workers who helped us to stay safe and calm fighting all the odds during this pandemic to make our life more comfortable and stable. 
• Teachers and all the school staff, who were all working during these hard times handling Online Classes, sharing home learning packs, weekly phone conversations with their students to ensure the children are safe and comfortable, enquiring about the basic needs of the family and their support for meeting our needs. Children were prepared psychologically comfortable to face this situation and keeping them in track of their missed classes and lessons.
• The Almighty for giving us good health, strength and courage to handle such tough situations and protecting the world.
