Suite 16

You Are My Paradise

All good wishes

May the small plants grow,
May the tall plants shade the small plants,
May the roots of the plants grow into and cling to  the soil,

May the afternoon sun offset the cold shade,
May the bees and butterflies pollinate the flowers,
May the watering yearn shootlings,
May the lush garden be enjoyed by family and friends.

Plants' shelter

May the plants in the garden live and thrive,
May the watering yearn offshoots,
May the butterflies and bees pollinate the seeds,
May the warmth of the sun bring health to the plants,
May the cool shade restore the wilting of over-heated plants.

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.

Affirmations

I will not let machines, robots, computers, zombies use me. I will use all of these concocted, unnatural mechanisms or systems instead.

I hope Blue will be back soon.

I hope all will be well for Nigel and Lucas.

I hope Blue will invite me to travel with him.

I hope Blue will be develop patience for me. I hope he will not hurry me for outings, to eat repeatedly at the same places, to keep going to Crown casino when I already told him that I did not and have not won $. I hope he will be more considerate towards me as a girl. I hope he will not bark out; "Fix it!" when I complain to him @ my ailments and boredom. I hope he will realise not everything @ any person is totally fixable indefinitely. I hope he will realize he has to put up with people who are not as well as he wants them to be; failing which- he can always walk out, after seizing any 1 of thousands of plausible excuses.

I hope my life can be private. I hope I can grow old gracefully. I hope no one is interested in my private family and personal details.  I hope I have a lot of quiet times and complete anonymity.

I hope I can go @ doing chores like shopping for groceries without being stared at.

I hope a few kind relatives will contact me and make me feel remembered, wanted and loved.

I hope I get to meet new friends with good, strong characters, lots of money and activities.

I hope Blue will love me unconditionally like God does.

I hope Nigel and Lucas will love me unconditionally as I do love them with no limits, criterias or boundaries.

I hope all my things that have gone missing will be returned to me. My ruby ring; my UV tinted, prescribed spectacles; my soft, a-bit-lacy 1/2 dress; my kitchen blender; ...

I hope white people will not be so mean and exacting to each other and others. I hope Caucasians will not behave like they know everything and lord it all over others.

I hope people will not be so selfish and calculative, grabbing everything and everybody for themselves. I hope they will spare a thought for those not as well-accompanied, affluent, organised etc. as them.

I hope not every relationship or celebration  is commercialised.

I hope everyone is allowed to be oneself.

I hope every soul is sacred and treated with respect.

I hope no one is forced into anything whatsoever.

I hope people get to choose their bed times, work-time, quiet time, family time etc.

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.
