Circle of Life

This month has turned out to be a really different month for me. Different in the sense that I start to view things differently. Pardon me for my short sense of humor here :)

It is a month to celebrate, as well as to pay my sincere respect to a friend.

I would like to give my deepest condolence to my friend - his wife had deceased in recent accident during a work trip with the Hospital in South Africa. It was daunting learning about this as they were married only last year. One couldn't help wonder what is the reasoning to this? It torn my heart looking at the once open hearted and cheerful person to be in his lowest state. I heard his voice looking for forgiveness and only wanted another day to be with his wife. If only he was given the chance. I hope that my friend will take his time to grieve through, and learn to believe in faith and love again.

Unfortunate incident like this, is not something that one can see it coming. It somehow become second to nature that everyone would expect everyone to be there, every day. Taking things for granted is what I deem the most severe and expensive mistake one can take as a habit in life. Old habit dies hard but it's never too late to start kicking off the bad habit now, is it?

Sometimes when we start to feel that life is not treating us fairly, or not looking forward to go to work/school, or feel angry and argue over petty things - wouldn't it be more meaningful if we start to appreciate this fragile life and feel blessed to be able to wake up in the morning to welcome the rise?

It's also birthday for many whom I know this month, comprises of both of my lovely sisters, my adorable niece (turning to 1 this year), 2 good friends, 2 work colleagues, and myself. Celebration for the Cancerian :).

Apart from this, special congratulations dedicated to 2 special couples who join the wedding bells this month and may they be blessed with life long happiness in marriage.

Looking forward to another wonderful day tomorrow!
