π¦ Sending love to my beautiful Auntπ·
Hello again, Aunt Ying
You knowβ¦I can still feel your presence whenever I see a butterfly, especially those bright lovely ones.
It was you, isnβt it, Aunty, on that fine morning in early October? You were resting on the front gate for at least fifteen minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the visit of this lovely butterfly. Its wings were bright yellow and orange at the side and the rest was grey. It looks like a butterfly on a canvas with more painting to be done.
I believe the shades of grey on its wings is a message that there will be storms in this life. And may we find the strength to overcome and feel comforted knowing that no storm will last forever.
I would like to think that your brief visit that day is to show us that youβre still near, thinking about us and watching over us. Itβs also a reminder of the fragile short life we have here on earth.
And one day each of us will leave this earthly life behind and fly away like a butterfly. Another gentle reminder to count life in each and every moment and make the most of it.
I want you to know that seven years on, your spirit is still very much alive in my heart. I remember and will always be grateful for your warm welcome when I visited you (I wish I had visited you more often), for checking in on me when you didnβt hear from me for a while, for sharing your thoughts and opinions, for listening without judgment, but most of all for just being you, a beautiful aunt and friend.
Till we meet again as butterflies! β€οΈ
π Happy Thanksgiving π¦
ππ This thanksgivingβ¦
may we be grateful for the little things, big things and everything in between;
may we continue to love without limits and live a life of no regrets;
may your family reunion be filled with love, laughter and heartwarming memories.
Sending warm thoughts and wishes from my humble abode to yours! Cheers π· π·π·π¦πππ
π±NBC is 11 today!ππ«
11 years ago today, NBC published the first blog post. According to the stats – 3644 posts, 96.4K visitors and 152.7k views. And I canβt help but think for a simple blog, NBC is doing pretty feline eh π
I never thought this blog would last that long. But itβs a hobby that keeps me going. WordPress is the purrfect platform to archive all the stuff that I love, a place where I can share my good and sometimes wicked sense of humor, a place to show off my daughtersβ art and drawings.
Itβs also a sanctuary to grieve and pay tribute to loved ones who had departed, to say the things that were left unsaid. With this blog, it helps calm my frazzled mind, pacify my anxious heart and heal the broken parts of my soul.
When I started this blog, my friend asked why I named it New Bloggy Cat (NBC) knowing that Iβm a dog lover. I said itβs because my personality is more like a cat. Iβm independent, I like my quiet space, I enjoy my naps and Iβm a non-conformist.
So, on this special day, hereβs 11 important life lessons from NBC. And instead of posting pictures, Iβll share my doodle art insteadβ¦
Lesson #1 – Have a mind of your own. Live life on your own terms and donβt let anyone tell you what you should and should not do.
Lesson #2 – Take good care of yourself. Good pawsonal hygiene is important to keep the dogtor away. So, paws and clean yourself after every meal.
Lesson #3 – Be independent. If you fall, get up and keep moving forward.
Lesson #4 – Sleep is precious. Please stop overthinking at night. You need sleep π€
Lesson #5 – Stretch after sleeping. A good stretch helps improves flexibility and get rid of any aches in the muscles.
Lesson #6 – Insist on the best. Know your self worth and do not settle for anything less than you deserve.
Lesson #7 – Quiet your mind. Take time to meditate and do not stress or worry about something. Remember, busyness is the drug we were never warned about.
Lesson #8 – The sun revitalizes. The sun is the most important thing in everybodyβs life and we often take it for granted.
Lesson #9 – Think outside the box butβ¦if the box fits, just sit and stop thinking.
Lesson #10 – Read more. Books are important for your mind, heart and soul. Something magical can happen when you read a good book.
Lesson #11 – Toilet paper is the number one enemy. Text me if you need help to destroy the toilet paper.
To all of you who read my blog, thank you from the bottom of my heart β₯οΈ
