Happy Birthday To Me

It's my birthday(on 27th June). A year older, a year wiser (really?). Should i reminisce my life and what's been happening so far ? Well...Ralph Waldo Emerson did say life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Very true indeed. Actually i have been looking back quite frequently learning and recovering from mistakes i've made. When it comes to personal development and our lives, the reality is that you can be whoever or whatever you choose to be. If only more of us would believe and act upon this then we would not have the level of apathy and the situation we see in our society. Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them. Just like Rhonda Byrne said - your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced.

So..here's wishing me..Happy Birthday ! May all my best wishes come true. Be Blessed :)

Pssstt...I share birthday with one of my favourite author - Helen Kellar. Yay !

Tribute to my dad...

Clarence B. Kelland once told "my father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it." It very much reminded me of my father. 15th June 2008 - Father's Day. It's the fourth year we (my sister and I) remember this day without dad by ourside.

Dad...plenty words could be used to describe this man's effect in my life. Reading my blog many knew by now how much his lost affected me. He's been and always will be my HERO besides my mom. Recently i took out old photographs of him and reminisce his life with my sis and mom. It was good i had pictures of him. Until now...deep down in my heart i still think dad is with us. Maybe the reason being i didn't have the proper closure. Like mom, dad has been the strength and guidance in my life. How true dad's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. Losing him suddenly tore our life apart...and being a close knit it left a hole in my family. I can never thank my dad enough and seek forgiveness for all the things i've done...i can never say how much i love him and miss him...i can never say how much i need him now...it hurts....

Dad, I had to kiss you,

it was a must,

but you were so cold,

thats what let me know it was true,

Dad im so sorry

I couldn't get there in time to say good bye to you.

I knew you were sick but I never expected you to go so fast,

The illness worked so quickly,

you tried so hard, you just couldn't last.

I love you so much and you will always be in my heart,

you see even though you may be gone we will never be apart.

But one last thing I have to say before I go,

Happy Fathers day dad, from me to you!
