day 290 - encourage & bless

awesome weekend! i should be sleeping, back to work tomorrow. relos just left. saturday: sleep-in, clean-up & errands, chill, catch up on tv & reading, google reader, nap, internet, edit & organised stuff. sunday: sleep-in, chill with siblings & cousins, family movie & picnic, nap, dinner with relos, chill with the kiddies so cute! i watched something really sad. these people in deep poverty who feels and cant see any other way to feed themselves and their family or need medication or freedom...they end up doing desperate things like sell drugs, steal, slave labour, prostitution, escape and cross dangerous boundaries, many risk their life everyday just so they could eat. knowing these things i dont know, some issues dont really matter to me, they seem so insignificant. i sound heartless saying that....im sorry. i guess it does matter, their concerns are honest and they are hurting and i hope they find happiness, whatever form that may be. but honestly sometimes my reaction isnt symphathy, a fault i still need to learn..... really u are complaining about that? you are still talking about that? is that still an issue? i guess that is their life and its not my place to judge them, i shouldn't. we are all here for a reason and my reasons aren't yours, maybe they are still growing and learning....they see and feel other things. i must remember that we all have a role to play and what you are doing is also important, we are doing our bit like my fave quote "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted" it all counts. their insecurities and burdens, their hurts and sadness, we all have times like these... i guess these are stepping stones to growth and i hope we do grow from these experiences. thats why i rarely get sad about things....i see things differently now, situations that used to bother me, things i used to hold on to, thoughts i repeat over and over, feelings i used to carry.........i just let them come and go, i travel light these days hehe and there are other stories of people who triumph against all the things that life throws at them, they feel peace in the midst of chaos, they find ways to survive and succeed, they are grateful for what little they have, they share their joy & service tirelessly...they give me strength and inspiration. there are so many stories, 6 billion stories and counting, great or small...they count, we all count, we can all learn from each other, i dont want to judge anymore hehehe just encourage & bless them. i should sleep now, been thinking about this all weekend. goodnight =) happy spring <3
