Touch a life today
If you want to touch the past, touch a rock.
If you want to touch the present, touch a flower.
If you want to touch the future, touch a life.

Relax…
Take a deep breath
and imagine
you’re blowing all your
fears into the red balloons,
worries into the green balloons,
shattered dreams into the blue balloons,
and disappointments into the yellow balloons.
Then tie them all up.
Count to three
and let them go!
Take a moment and watch
these colourful balloons fly away.
Soon the heavinessΒ in your heart
will be lifted.
And you will be ready to move on.
Remember that life
Β does not have to be purrfect
to be beautiful!
“Mom said to put all my sadness in these balloons and let them fly away.”
Hello Dad…
Hello Dad,
today is January 7th
the same date seventeen years ago
at the wee hour of the morning
when I held you in my arms as you
struggled and breathe your last.
The last time Mom and I visited you
at the cemetery was quite some time ago
Not that we have forgotten you but
we believe your spirit dwells
in our hearts and not at the place
where we laid you to rest.
I’m glad I visited you today, Dad
I believe you were at the cemetery too.
I found peace within as I reminisce on the
lessons learned after your passing…
Life is too short to be grumpy
There’s hope in the midst of adversity.
Our success or failures does not
define who we are.
Life is about being joyful.
And there’s joy…
in being yourself
in giving & sharing
in the midst of pain and suffering,
May we find the strength
to let go of our past…
the years of pain and difficulties that
we had somehow survived and have made
us more compassionate and resilient.
May our hearts be filled with
love, joy and peace
as we continue to live
joyfully in the moment.
Quote of the day – Haruki Murakami
βEvery one of us is losing something precious to us.
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities,
feelings we can never get back again.
Thatβs part of what it means to be alive.βΒ

Happy Mew Year (=^ο½₯ο½ͺο½₯^=))οΎε½‘β
Pieces of Time
New years come and new years go,
Β Pieces of time all in a row.
Β As we live our life, each second and minute,
Β We know weβre privileged to have you in it.
Β Our appreciation never ends
Β For our greatest blessings: our family and friends.
