.....Marisa Yasmin's Take On Life.....

 

 

 

 

 

"I think that Life is difficult.

People have challenges.

Family members get sick, people get older,

You don't always get the job or the promotion you want.

You have conflicts in your life.

And really, life is about your resilience, and your ability to go through your life, and all the ups and downs, with a positive attitude."

 

I DO AGREE WITH YOU, MARISA.....

 

 

 



.....Kind words and Kind deeds.....

 

 

 

 

 

Kind hearts are the gardens,

 

Kind thoughts are the roots,

 

Kind words are the flowers,

 

Kind deeds are the fruits,

 

Take care of your garden

 

And keep out the weeds,

 

Fill it with sunshine,

 

Kind words and Kind deeds.

 

-Henry Wordsworth Longfellow- 

.....Musing About My Life.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With everything

that has happened to me

I can either

feel sorry for myself

or treat whatever happens

as a gift.

Everything is either

an opportunity to grow or

an obstacle to keep me from growing.

I get to choose.

.....Perfectly Imperfect Me.....

 

 

 

Yes, I've made mistakes...

and I'll probably make a few more.

I'm only human after all.

And it's okay.

I'm happy with that.

 

I'm happy being

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT ME!

 

 

.....Blessings.....

Just sharing a few meaningful poems and quotations in my latest blog entry. Despite all the ups and downs that I've encountered, I really and truly feel blessed for each and every new day, that I've been given, and for each and every experience that have come my way, regardless of whether they're good or otherwise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....Words Of Inspiration.....

Dear Allah,

When I lose hope,

please help me to remember that your love is greater than my disappointment,

and your plans for my life

are better than my dreams.

 

Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Ameen...

 

 

 



.....A Trip Down Memory Lane.....

 

 

My Princess and I made a trip down memory lane, to Malacca, that is, on Friday, 25.1.19 and Saturday, 26.1.19. We traced back the familiar routes along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Jalan Tengkera, Limbongan, Klebang, Kesidang, Bachang, the roads in Malacca City, and of course, Jalan Air Keroh. Just for the record, my family had stayed in Malacca between 1980 till 1985 during our tour of duty with the Government service. Then, when Princess continued with her tertiary education in Malacca, we had stayed there again from 2000 till 2002. Malacca holds a lot of bitter sweet memories for me, and this time around we managed to trace our footsteps at three tourist attractions, namely, the Butterfly Park, Taman Mini Malaysia and the beach at Pantai Klebang. Perhaps, on our future trips, we'll be covering more memory-laden places. InsyaAllah.
