Today is a New Page....

I have not put my thoughts down for a very very long time. Somehow it seems to be easier to lead a life of mediocrity, than to be a significant leader, one that actually makes a difference. But, like any other being, I do want to make a difference. If not to others, to my own family, my wonderful children.

I'm listening to 'the secret' again. (Although it's a DVD, I play it whilst driving...so technically I listen, not watch). Somehow, listening to the possibilities perks me up. Reinforces that success is still possible, blissfulness is still possible, ultimate health is still possible....

What flashes before me as I listen is that...

I have drawn the kind of family I have through practicing 'the secret' (without realizing it).... I believe that since young, I've always been visualizing having a family that is so close, so like friends with each other... so relaxed....and there it is.. I have that exact family now!! I'm so blessed...

So, though it is now almost 6.00pm, today is still a new page in my life, like every day.... I'm going to count my blessings....

• I am so grateful for my great health and the health that my whole family is blessed with...
• I am so grateful for the husband, the best friend that I have...who sticks with me through my temper, my stupidity, my ugliness...and because of all that I feel calm, intelligent and beautiful today...
• I am so grateful for a beautiful and intelligent daughter, who is so careful with her words, so as not to hurt my feelings....
• I am so grateful for a handsome son, who despite the tough front, still is so 'manja' with me and cares for me tremendously...
• I am so grateful for a mother who at 75 is still healthy and 'happy' to be living with me...
• I am so grateful to have a life of abundance, that some people only dream off....
• I am so grateful to have all the material things that I need, to make my life so complete...
• I am so grateful to still be able to communicate with my siblings, and still act as if I'm the youngest of them all (but I really am!)....
• I am so grateful that irregardless of everything else, I'm able to give my children the best education that some people can only dream off.....
• I am so grateful to have friends in need...

The list is just simply endless.... and I shall make it a habit of writing this down every week if not more often....

Alhamdulillah.. writing in this blog again, I have managed to feel lighter, happier, for I have just reminded myself what I have almost forgotten....

that is to...

Live, Love, Laugh.......

I love my life.....
