Easy life

Life is easy when 1 goes with the flow. Ideas present themselves automatically. Do not fret if a lull appears indefinitely. This is a mere preparation for good things to come. Do not look back but always surge on ahead.

Life is a journey of hits and misses. Trials and errors are inevitable. Never be discouraged. Something wonderful will pop up when one least expects it.

Get to know yourself. Acknowledge your particular strengths and weaknesses. Regarding your inherent strong points, be confident to utilise them and display them in public. As for your not so well-developed qualities, set small goals periodically to challenge yourself. This will help you gain momentum in an area of life that is new to you.

Trust in your own intuition. Your gut feeling of what is right for you will inevitably keep you moving along.

You will need to feel  happy, safe and freely decide your activities with regards to how you spend your time.

If you need help, simply ask. However, do not feel obliged that you are bound to accept what is offered. Options, resources and creativity are always open indefinitely to you.

If you have made an unintentional mistake, do not beat yourself up. Be gentle with your humanity. You are only human with frailties and therefore not perfect. You are allowed to learn from your own mistakes. You are open to doing better as you become wiser. Keep repeating your activities with no fear of failure and  you will bound to improve with time. In the event that things get worse, take a break or abandon those activities/ events or people that are wrong/ harsh/ unkind/ unfair/ cruel to you. Continue taking deep breaths. Alternatives will eventually pop up and the worst  will be over. Never worry about masses embroiled in their own high-pressure marketing/ selling, including selfish terms and conditions of interactions.

A day trip to Rottnest

Yesterday was a day filled with adventure - sailing, walking, cycling, bird-watching etc.

My day started at 8.30 am and ended at 7.30pm when I laid my tired self on my bed and fell instantly asleep.

Rottnest island is this big island about 30 minutes only on a speed-boat journey off the coast of Western Australia. The most unique point about Rottnest is that there are no private/ hired cars ( about 3 work-men's small trucks), but only walkers and cyclists.

I treasure the unspoilt, pristine nature of the island - the crisp, clean air, the quiet surroundings, the crystal clear water, the few quokkas freely roaming around, the quietly patient and efficient workers at the cafe, bicycle shop, harbour etc.

I like to re-

visit this gem of a paradise on earth soon.

Bicycle

3 days ago, my wonderful husband bought me a second-hand bicycle from "Cash Converters" for only $70 (what a bargain) and he even cycled it home while I drove back. I am beginning to understand his goodness, leadership and thriftiness now.

Anyway, I am so thrilled to start cycling again after a hiatus of  35 years. How the years just fly by!! No, no - I am not rambling on or having 1 of my alzheheimer or dementia or psychosis attacks. I am just so glad to cycle again after that long a time. The last time I cycled purposefully was to school way back in 1978! Memories of those good, hard years just rush in and I revel in them. I hope to post a photo of the bicycle soon since it is still too dark now (4.03 am) to go to the side of the house and click a photo of it.

By the way, would any bicycle enthusiasts like to share their stories or at least build up a collection of bicycle stories?

Beautiful rain!

Dear LORD JESUS,
Thank You for the beautiful and quite gentle rain, intermittent rain or drizzle last night and this morning which was not actually a storm as announced by the weather forecast people on television. There was no trace of a gale, as before about a week ago. Even then, for those 48 hours, I was not afraid because I took note of Your majestic power in commanding such strong gusts of wind without a single tree being uprooted. I remember clearly seeing the leaves of the mature palm trees swaying wildly in the skies and yet not cringing because i had this confident feeling that they are firmly rooted and that You are displaying Your might, albeit in an aggressive way. However, the sight of the dangling lamp moving up and down as if in a very unstable way half-way up the sky which i witnessed on the way to Crown Casino was scary, if only because i hate to imagine what would happen if it landed on a passing person's head or car's roof!

Thank You for the clouds in the sky right now as I always love more rain. Could You also send more rain on the dams where rain/ waterfall measurements are actually taken so that less anxiety is felt by all around?

Finally, You always amaze me by the myriad ways You find to show Your Love and connect with Your beloved ones. God be praised and exalted on High.

My life is a gift!!

My life is a gift from a loving God
He filled my life journey with a purpose
Along my way, I grow to love Him
As i realise how much He had always been with me.

My life is a miracle
A Great God weaved magic into it
Everyday, i feel peace, calm, serenity and wonder
With the possibilities He rewards me.

Thank You LORD for Your present of life
Thank You for Your wondrous hope in me
I will not let You down, NO - i  certainly will not
I will testify to Your goodness and mercy forevermore.

God be Praised!

I love You, God!

You are a great God
You gave me my life and my family
All i have is because of You
You are so wonderful
You prompt me in my heart
I am so full of hope because You love me
It is beyond words
How good You are
You are always there for me
Your covenant love is so inspiring
I exists because You love me
What a gorgeous world You have gifted me
Blue skies, white rolling clouds, green trees, serene water on the lake
The more i spend time with You
The more i love my God
I testify to Your constant care and love
I praise You, I exalt You
I worship You, I glorify You.
