What is "Zest for Life" ?

'Joie-de-vivre'
or 'zest for life'is the trait I treasure most in myself.That is what keeps me going even when the odds are against me or I'm fatigued. My positivism is contagious, and is a blessing.I'm a go-getter with a never say die outlook.
Hence this blog is my Zest for life!! :)

No time to stand and stare!


What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.


-William Henry Davies

"Love will keep us alive" - The Eagles {Valentine's Special}

One of my all-time favorite Love songs.... The Eagles (Jim Capaldi, Paul Carrack, and Peter Vale) wrote this song in 1994.
 This song is dedicated to all the couples , who go against all odds and want to be together come what may, for whom love will keep alive.
                                          
"Love will keep us alive" - The Eagles


I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide

Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive

Don’t you worry
Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I’ve found you
There’s no more emptiness inside
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

I was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive 

Alice by Smokie {Valentine's day special}



"Alice" - In 1972 hit the Australian charts at #35 at first and later became a worldwide hit!  


This song is a story that says that Smokie never gets to tell Alice in 24years that he loves her , and then Sally says that she's available. 
"Alice" makes me wonder three things.... 1} why did Smokie have to wait 24 years to let Alice know his feelings?! 2} Stupid Sally waited for that many years too! :D and 3} That after 24years still Smokie doesn't want to move on!!:D Bummer!!!


"Alice" - by the band "Smokie"



Sally called when she got the word,
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Alice".
When I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...
And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...
I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
