In life there are many unwanted things ditched at us. Some dodge them, some take it as it comes, some got hit by it not knowing it was coming. God has indeed been fair to us. He knows that life is fragile, and with so many twist and turns, it's just a question of time before we break. So He gave us the human spirit.
Human spirit is something intangible, or more like transcendental. It is something all scientists assemble together and they can never get an absolute answer for it. I think its what links us to up there. It is our inner voice and upper voice. The best part about human spirit is, it stretches as far as we can. In other words, we are as strong as we want to be. The secret weapon to human spirit is our ability to believe in ourselves and to love ourselves.
When the going gets rough, we often pray to God to ask for strength. So He gave us strength. He puts obstacles in front of us just to give us a chance to use this newfound strength. But what do we do? We blame Him for what happen and ask for more strength. Don't we? Lol. Humans. I do the same thing countless times too. Often, we focused to much about one problem in our lives until we neglect other blessings we have.
OK, I shall get straight to the point. Life is difficult when you lose a loved one. Separation is never easy. But this is only part of life. There's more to come ahead. Look at it this way, yes, a loved one is lost but what about other benedictions in life? Say, our family all under one roof, we have shelter over our head, food on our tables everyday, clothes that fills up wardrobes, and of course we're as fit as a fiddle. We still have the essentials in life with us. I know there are many out there who is willing to give up anything just to be in our place.
In relationships, when we have each other, we may forget the very reason we're united as one. Mainly because we focused too much on the problems of being together. We may forget how to love each other. But when we lose each other that's when we realize about how things could have been improved, how things could have differed if only there was more appreciation in the relationship. Now that's its lost, why don't we repent and appreciate what is left of us instead? Other blessings in life may be lost in the wink of an eye. Sometimes, when we're too focused on one distorted part of the picture, we need to take a step back and see the bigger picture. We only lost a huge piece of the puzzle, but not the whole puzzle.
I'm sure many might say "easier said than done". But don't we need some people to make it sound easy so that we have the courage and strength to do it? If everyone were to be dragged down by this and be discouraging, then there's no such thing as pillar of strength. It all boils down to whether you want to really believe it and try it or just shove it aside. Because, knowing what to do is different from wanting to do it. Knowing itself does not give much push to do something compared to desire to do it. Its all in your thinking, my dears.
I wouldn't say don't mourn over it but more like don't let it dictate you. Let your grief out but don't over do it. I shall quote my friend "There's only so much we can fuss about. Not everything". If you have given your best and it still won't work out then persevere. Or let it go. Sitting on one spot and mourn will get you no where. Whenever sadness comes flooding you, think about other blessings in life worth cherishing. The fact that you're alive and have the time to grief about it is already a blessing.
Well, its only this much I can type. You know who you are when you read this post. And I hope you don't get offended by this. I'm praying for your speedy recovery. I love you, dear. Hugs.
Just a food for thought. How do we measure life then? Perhaps by seeing how colourful it is?

Sien-ness
After reading Christie's blog, I succumbed to blog pressure and felt compelled to blog. But, I can't think of anything inspiring to blog about. Anyways that was a really good post there. Beautifully written. Kudos to Christie =)
This is going to be a lazy post.
It's been 2 weeks since uni started. Many stuff happened since then but Thornberry is too lazy to mention about it. All over again. Repetitions gets tiring most of the time. For me that is.
Uni has been pretty mundane so far. My classes has been compacted into 3 hectic days. And assignment piles, let's just say its getting heavier. Can't expect subjects to get easier as you approach 3rd year can you? Lol. A mini test is just around the corner. My my, how much I look forward to this semester. Even prom is too far away to look forward to. Nonetheless, I do try to convince myself to cherish every moment spent in uni. I'm leaving soon, hopefully ( I don't want to stay back; that's bad news) meaning one day when I look back, I will want to relive these moments which I deem hectic now.
Went for an exhibition today. One Life. One word to describe it. Touching. Hahaha. It's basically appealing to public to lend helping hand by sponsoring a child to see them through these down periods of their lives. I'm having serious thoughts about adopting one and at the same time I do have serious issues financially too. Knowing you can make a difference in someone's life does make you feel superior. Lol. Oh well, I'm considering still.
Oh, and I joined the Banking Club. I was trying to escape from paying the fees but sadly the president was there. At least I think he is. And he's my friend's friend. It won't be pretty if I refuse to pay right. So, I paid through my nose. Ok, not really. I owed for the fees. Wahahaha.
Probably some of you may notice why my blog is getting more boring by posts, lol. Well, this blog is getting public and there are certain things inconvenient to be posted here. So let's save it as one of the over the phone topic. Hehehe.. Running out of words to type. Cheerio and good day!
