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.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday was a wonderful day. My Kiddo had a wonderful birthday with his cousins and girlfriend. hahah not a girlfriend at 3 years old per Se but a friend's daughter. Sigh.. I can smile and I survived. It is six months now.. and we are still living. Thank you God for watching me and my family. Today I am working as I have to meet a deadline. I miss my kids but it is going to be like this for the rest of their lives and my life. There will be times I can spend all day with them and days that they do not see me at all. Tomorrow I know I will have them to myself all day long. So I hope it will be good. In the future I hope to be a better mother to them. I hope that they will have a bright future and have a lot of laughs along the way. Peace to the World.

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.

change is constant

I like the title of my blog. It just wraps up life so well. Everything constantly changes. Everyone grows. It is amazing.. The wonderful thing that I have realized is that when you feel down, it means one day you will be happy. If you are happy.. no one knows it will turn bad or worst or better. But that is life. It changes. Hence you have to change with it. Otherwise you get blocked or frozen.. I love life.. I love the way it changes.. because something nice just happened and I feel sooo very happy..
