When I least expected it...
This green envelope contained a few surprises when I least expected it from the Fab Five girls. I love the gifts, but more importantly, I loved the thought that came with these delightful suprises. I started my therapy that very day with the shower cream to rejuvenate, then lit the candle for more calmness and then had the chocolates to nourish the soul.

I am truly blessed.
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am thankful that thorns have roses. In every cloud there is always a silver lining; if your mind is open enough to see it.

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This
is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the
way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take
me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel
like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I
should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to
change, I alone will make that decision.
When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”

What I learn about letting go...
To let go doesn't mean to stop caring,
it means i can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization that I don't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try change or blame another,
I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own outcomes.
To let go is not to be protective,
it is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny but to accept.
To let go is not to nag,scold, or argue,
but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires
but to take each day as it comes and to cherish the moment.
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone but
to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more...

Everything changes.
Wheter we like it or not, everything changes. How do you adapt to changes? Do you make a fuss about it or are you one who 'goes with the flow'?

Happy Me
It is only 10am and I already have the 5 things that made me happy this morning, despite having only four hours of sleep.
- Coffee. I am not the usual 20-cups-a-day coffee drinker, more like a 10-cups-a-year. Nevertheless I am truly grateful to those wh created this mojo from a seed/bean.
- Technology. Said it once and I'll say it again. Skype, facebook, the internet and broadband. :)
- My husband's morning kiss.
- My son's thoughts on hairsprays and gels..he's growing up too fast.
- A phone call to my sis whose laughter sends good vibes out :)
- My mom's reassuring voice.
- I am blessed to be able to read and write.. and to do it in another language is a greater blessing
- I have my health. I am truly truly grateful.

Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
My book story - I finished readingsome; a few books are kept on the shelf as I know I'll read them again later on and that it is good to know that the books are there. Some books are just not meant to be read.. some not worth reading, some not worth saving... some are just better left in the bookshop.. then there are classics worth reading again and again.. a few favourite ones :)
What is your book story like?

The book of life?
Is there such a book, with a manual on how to deal and cope with with various situations and events in life? If there is, I doubt it I would buy it. I like the idea of writing my own book of life. Basing it on joy, love and happiness, it would never have a final chapter.

Commitment
It still amazes me what makes me happy are the small little things one takes for granted.. and moves me to tears. Like this wonderful sunrise taken at a place I call my sanctuary in Scotland.

Life is..
Life is a journey, not a destination.
In the end, each of us will be judged
by our standard of life, not by our standard of living;
by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; and
by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.

2010.
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes its better to leave them broken rather than hurting yourself trying to put them back together.
That is exactly what I did last summer. It didn't feel so good in the beginning but as time went by, I now stand my my decision and am glad it happened. I would get hurt and finally it came to a point where no bandages or plasters could help anymore. I said goodbye.
