Who Created Us ?
A Question which is disturbing me since last few months: Who Created us ? God ? If yes then why he created us ? Though I couldn’t find any answer related to this question but it raised some pretty good questions in my mind so I m sharing what I think and I welcome your opinion on the same :
Last few months have been quite uncertain in my life. I have to deal with many uncertainties at once. Should I move back to my family? Should I go for post graduation? Should I switch my job? Should I start on my own? …. and finally the main question of What is it that I want in this…
星期日早上，兩公婆照例瞓到黃朝百晏。醒咗之後，兩隻嘢仍然唔捨得落床，賴死喺落晒遮光閘、伸手不見五指嘅睡房、有句沒句咁pillow talk。由於我同老婆喺weekdays嘅作息時間唔同，呢啲「週日pillow talk」係可遇不可求嘅甜蜜時光。
I’ve heard it my entire life.

Interesting observation. I find just exactly the opposite to be true in my tiny, non-scientific sample size. I’m an atheist, and not one of my circle would use any of those things to describe me, yet they will throw those very aspersions at members of their own congregation.
In my twitter feed a couple of days ago I saw the question — ‘What’s the best way to deal with uncertainty?’

Fall so madly and deeply in love with your life, that it doesn’t matter who joins you or who walks away, because your happiness isn’t tied to any one person or any one thing.
Create a life so beautiful and inspiring that it simply takes your breath away every time you open your eyes to view your masterpiece.

Are you thinking about someone right now? Is that someone your first thought in the morning too? Is that making you happy or does it make you sad? Does that someone know?

I was mesmerized and captivated taking this journey with you.
I’ve been playing images in my head. Sort of making believe how things might go, were I actually to act on them. When I’m imagining the things I would do, or the things I would say, or the places I’d go, I receive a small compensation for it. A tiny bubbling taste of serotonin. Yum. That was…

What I Have Learned in Life :
What I learned in life is,
That no matter how good a person is,
sometimes they can hurt you & because of this we must forgive.
Douglas… fascinating. I am a very spiritual person and believe there is a common energy that we all share. Karma and reincarnation make a lot of sense to me and I purposely put as much good into the world as I can because it does come back to me. A long time ago, I realized that in nature, everything is born, lives, dies, and then is resurrected in…
I’m depleted. I’m hurt. I’m lonely.
I cry. I die little inside. I take a deep breath and write (I release). Euphoria. My ecstasy.

My granddaughter is so much like you, Shannon Ashley. Although she often moves quickly like a hummingbird when on her own timetable, she also moves like molasses when on someone else’s schedule.

Sometimes life isn’t about winning or losing. It could look like being part of something greater than yourself, making friends along the way, or simply learning new things. Regardless how your current season is looking like, winning or losing, be sure to always have fun. Because in the end, even winning means nothing if you’re not having fun.

I had three half-juice-half-water glasses in the morning and I suspect that’s what messed up my energy. I felt tired and unfocused.

It’s a lie created by your own mind and thoughts

That said, I called my mom this morning. I wish I could be home to hug her and give her a kiss and love she deserves.
