Just to say hello!

By Qatar_Resident

Hello QL Memebers,

I am neither new to Qatar nor new to QL. I have been living in Doha for over 10 years and been using QL as my 'search tool' for anything and everything about Doha :-)

Just gathered that I have been a member for over a year, but never been active and hence thought of changing my status from inactive member to an active member. So, here is a big HELLO to all you guys out there.. hoping to meet some of you in the QL group activities. Happy QL-ing all of you! :-)

Here's a thought for the day:

"Whenever I am tempted to want more material comfort or sense gratification, even though I know in my heart I have enough to get by, then I just think to myself - 'Whatever I have, it is sufficient; this is what's given; it's how much I get. Just this much is my exactly appropriate and perfectly lawful karmic ration, and I remain thankful for it'. This is a good practice for cultivating gratitude, satisfaction and contentment - ultimate form of wealth!" - Words of Lama Surya Das (Jeffrey Miller) in his book THE BIG QUESTIONS.
