Happy Birthday Rachel

Today is Rachel's birthday. So wishing her a happy birthday and hope you can share some of your spoils with us.




Last night I had a dream. No. Make it a nightmare. I dreamt that I was half-bald. Yup. I lost most of my beloved hair. I remembered bits and pieces and it was like I went and wash my hair, dried it with my towel and started to comb it. Then I was shocked, very shocked to find out that my hair lost most of it from the inner section, the section that is hardly seen. So I quickly brushed my hair but softly so that I won't frighten the rest of my hair off and try to cover the balding part. Sigh. I then try not to stand any place where there's wind. I sighed to myself.

I woke up, keep going through my hair and yup, most of it still here. A sigh of relief. I've notice that I actually put something of value to my hair and I'd never done that before. Probably I got lots of it and so I took my hair for granted (if you want to call it that) and it's probably a good thing too so that I would be reminded of the little, little things that I've taken for granted. Sounds familiar? Here's the problem, there are just too many things that you and I have taken things for granted and too many things for us to take a check list to figure out what we have missed. So how do we keep abreast of the little other things that we've taken for granted? How do we follow up too? The answer? Reality check.

You cannot remember all those you've taken for granted. Not even your love ones, not even your shoe and not even the chair that you're sitting on. All these things to most of us have taken it for granted and it seems endless with our limited ability to remember things. So how do you avoid this problem then? Since you can't, then make lemon-aid. Learn how to accept failures but keep your chin up. Learn to avoid and sometimes remind yourself that you are but human (to err is human). If things have taken for granted, and something bad did happened. Make sure you are not doing out of malice and try to fix it. Fixing things with honesty means alot. Even those people who taken friendship for granted, with honesty and sincerity, friendship could be mend but not without scars. It's like a favourite cup once broken, it could be mend but the seams could still be seen. Friendship, however, could ignore the seams totally. Betrayal, works of malice and other dishonest acts however, would not be able to be mend so nicely. My moral of my blog? If you want to mess things, make sure it's not because of dishonesty and other bad stuff. It would be an easier life to live and carry on living.
