There are times when we are being "uprooted". At that time the solid ground is not solid anymore, we lost the security from the quiet soil. We can't stand straight, we may be bent, or broken or even falling face first to the ground, and we don't think it's possible to get up again... But … Continue reading Uprooted

Morning
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? Wake up at 5.00 a.m. ( that is ideally, you know that things can get unmanageable in the morning, but most of the time, I am a member of 5.a.m club). Go straight to the bathroom, and take my morning … Continue reading Morning
Appreciate
What should we do when some members of our family seem so blind to great blessings in front of her/his nose? I stay silent, because I have no idea what their state of minds are. Perhaps they're struggling with huge problems so they fail to appreciate the blessings in front of their eyes. I hold … Continue reading Appreciate
Savings
Do not wait for the perfect time to save. I chuckled when I read an advertisement that said: the best time to buy a house was five years ago. It's true though...

I see a husband who is taking care of his terminally- ill wife, even though for years and years they have shown a very cold and distant relationship as a couple. Both in their seventies, he tends to her every need, he comes to her bed just by hearing a smallest sound from her mouth. … Continue reading Lessons
Perspective
I'm thinking a lot about perspective lately; particularly the way I'm seeing life. A few things happened this month. A close relative has been diagnosed with the big C, and at the time it was found, the Big C is already way too strong and complicated to be treated. Now I feel that to have … Continue reading Perspective
slow
Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow (by anyone.. I mean ourselves).. Today, I know another benefit to write regularly about yourself, so when you face a problem and you feel that you're taking too much time to settle that problem, the progress is probably too minuscule to be noticed, that … Continue reading slow
