如此人生

 人生短短数十年,该是轰轰烈烈的,还是平平淡淡的呢?

Some work really hard each day to put food on the table while some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth,  without having to lift a finger. Does one bring more happiness and peace than the other? Well, I choose to believe that the path to happiness and peace is a choice to make. One can be happy with very little. Happiness is a mental state.

A peaceful morning

 I woke to a drizzle. The air was crisp and fresh. I walked over to N's room. She was long seated up, going through her subject material, as usual. Such a disciplined and determined girl I have. God's blessing, truly. Since L has gone on a business trip, I offered to drive her to class but she politely declined for she knows driving isn't my thing.

E is still in bed. The house drops to a complete silence, save for the trickling rain drops resonating against the awning. The dancing rain drops on the surface of the pool has never failed to bring a smile. I could just sit and admire God's wonderful creation all day! I feel peace, with a heart full of gratitude.

我觉得自己非常幸福,不愁衣食,身体健康,过着安宁舒适的生活。不时费点心思打扮漂亮和L参加宴会,享用精致餐饮。如此人生已是100分。我非常感恩,感谢主的看护和恩赐。Amen

Years later......

 I, suddenly remember my blog, my once devoted playground. The day to day of the kids, mundane it may be to others was penned. Looking back, I am really glad I took the trouble to start this little diary of mine. There is huge gap between the last post and this. Well, I guess part of the in between has been captured on fb.

N sat for the first A level paper yesterday. Another long month to go. Education is just a travel document for the next phase of one's life. The destination is very much determined by the travel document holder.  We started out as fresh accountants decades ago. Now, many continue to charge on. Just as many have detoured. Such is life!

I miss expressing my thoughts in Chinese, as I don't write much these days....till then
