a little more courage, please

Looking back, the last I posted was more than a month ago.
I did not visit this site as often as I wanted to.
Guess I was just too lazy to make the effort, if that's the honest explanation.
Now, it's the new year of 2008.
With renewed hope, we thread into this new year, hoping for the better to come by.
We look for signs, we wait for signals, but we forgot, all we need to do is continue to trust and take heed that all will be well.
But will they be well?
If days leading into the new year presented their challenging selves to you, would you questioned faith, and asked why me? It's started with a car breakdown, for still unknown reasons, and then sickness, until now, to extend that i have to take a day's of medical leave from work. It's been more than a week now, and I really hope that I will just get better from now.

A friend of mine, had even more challenges thrown to her. It started way earlier, when she had her out-station duties. That was about over 2 months ago and they have yet to seems to want to slow down. Just 2 days ago, she was involved in an accident.

Sigh, the right thing to is to continue to march on, to take things, these challenges as they present themselves to us, and hopefully, prevent one and learn from them in the process.
But the right thing to do is always easier said, and written, and thought.
It's doing the right thing that is the challenge, and doing it at the right time, the most challenging.

I am creature of habit and in this new year, after sickly start, this coffee addict just wants to have things done, and done right at the right time.
In other words, she just wants courage, a little more, please.
I am, but a coffee addict.

we must continue to trust and have faith

Sometimes, we just have to trust. Trust in others to make our day. Like mine yesterday.
I had wanted to wash and clean up the place i was staying. It was getting a little to dusty for my liking. And since i do not have spare sets for things like, curtains, blanket, and some pillow cases, i knew it would be a challenge to have them wash in this unpredictable weather lately. Furthermore, working does not give you the luxury to able to keep an eye on the weather while you hang out the wash.

So yesterday, with the foremost aim of wanting to have my blanket washed, i woke up early. A little early for a sunday i guess. Peeping at the window to check out the weather status, i managed to convince myself that the clear sunny weather is waiting to serve me. Somewhat slightly blurry, i gathered my dirty clothes and blanket, and put them to launder.

It was really a good day for doing laundry i think. By the time the first washing was done, the sun was shining hot, and strong. Yes, correct, the first washing. Second washing was for the floor rags from all over the places, about 5 of them dirty, dusty pieces. These went in with the room curtains, all 3 of them. Well, it was time to rid the the dust and give my nose some cleaner air to breath.

It was collecting my blanket that the sun decided it wanted to take a break. It went for a little break behind the clouds, but I did not know that at that time. It had look as though again, i had to leave all the curtains and rags to dry for days, yet again. So I wished.

I wished that god will just let the sun shine strong for another 1 hour, just one hour so that they curtains could get a headstart in drying. The rags i was not so worried about, as there were some spares here. It was the curtains. Undried curtains meant uncurtained bedroom windows. And i definately would not like that.

And then god showed how merciful he could be! He have me the whole afternoon of hot, shining sun! All that need to dry, dried, and all that need airing, got their chance. I even managed to wash my car, and it could dry.

Guess it goes to show that we must not lose faith. We must continue to trust, and trust and do the best. The rest, they say, would be taken care of, sometimes, if not always for our best interest.

:: morning..all :) ::

Good morning, selamat pagi, zhao an hao, ohaiyo :)
It's friday, yet again.
I want to wish all my friends, family, and those who knows me, good luck and be happy always.
I do hope that all of you are feeling as good as me right now, if not better.
It's friday, and like the week, i hope that today will breeze pass, but not too fast, as i want to still be able to smell the breeze, enjoy the life, and have a thought.
Hope the good feeling will last..
Have a good day, to start a great weekend!
