book of life

our lives are like books with empty pages, waiting to be written each day.

25 days from now, another chapter of my life will end. seems just like yesterday when it started. i can't wait for a new chapter to begin.

overheard

i heard this sad story over the radio this morning. a 20 year old girl. part time student & call center agent. works 5am 'til 2pm & goes to school after. only daughter. her problem -- she was recently diagnosed with brain tumor. she doesn't want to tell her parents because considering their financial position & the costs that will be incurred, she wouldn't want to be a burden to them.

if you were her, would you tell your parents? it's difficult to say 'cause we're not in her position, but even if i don't know her personally, i really do hope she tells her parents soon before it becomes too late. we can't carry all our burdens alone no matter how strong we think we are. we shouldn't always put all the weight in our shoulders.

hearing of situations like this makes me think of how lucky i am... how thankful i should be for what & who i have in my life. makes me realize that i should try to complain less & be more contented... that the problems i rant about are far minuscule compared to others.

positivity

just want to share a really nice quote my friend told me last week...

"What the caterpillar sees as the end of the world, the Master sees as a butterfly."

a positive thought to start our week:)
