Life as it is

I refuse to let any year goes by without an entry in this quiet blog. I write a lot in my head. But not here. In my dreams, I write. In my dreams, I am indeed a renowned writer. I write books, articles.. published and well liked. I should really pursue my dreams. Perhaps some day.

I saw a draft for an entry that I dare not publish here as it was rather personal. It was also written in August 2017. Something to do about how I was feeling then. Ironically, it is the same exact feeling that I have now. Impossible! But it is the sad truth. I shall keep that as a draft. And publish this post, as a reminder for me to look at it again next year. I truly hope, desperately hope that next year, at this time of the year, I will have something better to say, feeling better, happier and more hopeful. 

As I thought life advanced for the better, I am always wrong. Then again, He is the best planner. There is not a single moment in this life that is not planned by Him. He is the Most powerful and the Most merciful. As such I shall accept whatever that is planned for me. No matter how hard I tried to make things better, if it may not be the best for me, it may not work.

Then again, I should be grateful for life as it is. Indeed I am. I am still breathing, healthy, capable, running around, have a roof over my head, food on the table, drive comfortably, sleep comfortably. I have healthy and smart children as well.What else  should I be complaining about when my life seemed to be wayyyy better than those living on the streets or under the bridge. And definitely much better than those who had to share a small shack with like 32 people!! There are so many things to be grateful about. So stop complaining about the very same thing haunting you all your life, whatever it may be. Obviously I am trying to calm myself down, to get rid of all the bad feelings that I have now. Trying to look at life in a different perspective so that life doesn't seem to be bad at all..Indeed!

Now let's think.. what sort of book should I start writing?
