What hurts us

But does not kill us makes us stronger....

It hurt me a long time ago. It hurt me again. Then again.. I thought I would not survive but I did. Looking back. I see a strong little girl, trying very hard to make it in life. Feeling alone and scared but always smiling and acting brave. Poor little girl, come let me take care of you, let me hug you and hold you and keep you safe. Nothing in this world can ever hurt you like that, as long as I am around. Be happy, run and dance and laugh your heart out. There is a life to be lived and not in misery but in joy.

Things happen for a reason. There is always a reason. Look on the silver lining and you will be okay.

Plus a few things to watch out for:
1) Do not forget what was done to us that hurt us. If we allow this to repeat, we are not learning our life lessons well enough.
2) Do not pity the liars and the cheats.
3) Do not lose the ones that stood by you.
4) Save money...

LOL... okay enough of being serious. I still have not finished the book from Prof Material. I am rereading sections which I really want to learn. Maybe on my Saigon trip I will be able to finish it and start on the second book he gave me. Life got so busy. I want to take a pitstop.

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

The biggest challenge

The challenges I had in my life were numerous. I come from a very average family. We had food on the table. We had the hand me down clothes. To aspire for a change in life meant I needed to work harder than I ever did. So I did. I worked hard at school for 5 years to get myself eligible for a scholarship. I faced failure after failure to get a decent grade to be able to continue for a degree. I worked hard to get my postgraduate scholarships. Went through so much downs and still I stood up again to just finish what I started. I stand here now thinking if I did all that why is it so hard to do this one thing. To forgive the unforgivable. My insides are all in pain. I want to set myself free. I want to forgive. I want to move on. Lord God in all my travels and adventure I never stopped talking to you. Today more than any other time I implore you to help me forgive.

Metamorphosis

Today is two weeks.. Two weeks of what? I let you guess. It is just sufficient to state that. I never thought I would have to do this. Make such changes in my life and my children's life. I have no choice. In my mind's eye, I never imagined this picture. How can I live?... I tell you what. I do it day to day, week by week, fortnightly by forthnightly.... soon it will be year by year and decades by decades.. By that time, I probably be glad I did this. Pain and time. Time helps heal all pain. I hope that is true. The pain is unimaginable. The pain is great. I pray for peace and calmness in my soul, Joy and Happiness for my kids. I can do this... I can take this role. I can metamorph into this... just give me time... I have to picture this clear in my head. I have to make this picture strong that I succeed and I triumph over adversity. God give me the strength to change what I can change, give me patience, guidance, protection and love.
