Looking at Life with a Touch of Humour
I don't normally eat hawker food for breakfast but today, I had a sudden craving for Wan Tan Mee and it came with light springy noodles and a generous garnishing of roast pork. Nice but very filling, so much so that I think I have to skip lunch today. But frankly speaking, I prefer my oats and bread for breakfast any time!
A very spiritually orientated friend recently told me that happiness does not come from material possessions, things like plenty of money in the bank, designer clothes, expensive cars. Quite honestly I wouldn't mind having all the above but then I am told they are only fleeting pleasures and will not give me permanent bliss. So what can give me permanent bliss? My friend promised to elaborate in due course but meantime I can think of a few things to keep me on Cloud 9 - my daily Milo, a cat with more than 9 lives, a never ending tub of ice cream ....
I think my friend will be shocked if he sees my list.
How often do you hear someone say something to you that's not so nice? Well, it happened to me recently. Of course it was a big blow to my ego and for a while, I was quite hurt. Later when I had got over it, I had to admit there was a glimmer (and only a glimmer!) of truth in what he had said.
Not everybody is perfect, least of all me. Sometimes I have mud thrown in my face but it's okay, I am glad I can still say"Oh, Nevermind!" and carry on with my life!
How many "I should have's" have you got? I know I have quite a few from my schoolgirl days up to now and I have learnt that there is no use worrying about them or burying myself in regret. Turn them into positive "I have's" and see the difference in your life!
Happy Women's Day to all you amazing women out there!
Shine on, not only today but always!
