It's 1pm now and I am sitting on the sofa penning this while my kids are outside washing the floor in the good company of Lassie at the patio. They are enjoying themselves.
I feel so blessed though I am having a bad sore throat now. My little wish came true. I had once wish I will have a pet dog with me when I get old. I can imagine my dog will accompany me whenever I sit in the patio alone. In fact yesterday, I got everyone out in the garden with me and it was so good. JS helped TH wash car while JW did her homework with me surfing the net for ID works and our dear Lassie was there with us.
Actually, we are supposed to go to Mid Valley together as TH wanted to visit the property fair there and the kids supposingly go for the Wimpy Kid show. But due to my sore throat, I decided not to go as the medication makes me drowsy and tired. When we picked up JS from tuition just now, told him that I decided not to go MV and though I know he was a little disappointed because he was excited about the show, he calmly asked why and when I told him that I have a bad sore throat and had gone to the doctor, he further asked how do I feel now and what the doctor said. He didnt complain. He was understanding and compromising. I am proud of him. He's able to accept little upset in life. But poor dad has to go to the fair alone.
Just now I read an interview between the Star and the author of Search Inside Yourself. It's interesting and inspiring. I learn the word 'spirituality' which means to look within, go beyond self. Everyone can be spiritual. If look deeply, a clam mind turn into a joyful mind and kindness will be discovered and all these are the sources of happiness. It is important that self confidence is built upon self knowledge and self honesty too. When one is comfortable with her weakness and one knows her inner resources well, no failure can devastate her life and she can recover soon. Be healthy, to take care of the body. Be happy, to take care of the mind. Be compassionate, to take care of others. Warren Buffet said 'Basically when u get to my age, u measure success in life by how many people u want to love u actually do love u. If nobody thinks well of u, I dont care how big your bank balance is, your life is a disaster'.
