An Opportunity of Time

The kids and I often call my wife before we go to sleep when she's on hospital duty. Monty and Sam would say their usual 'baby talk' and ask silly questions like 'what are you doing mommy?", etc. It's always fun to hear their naive statements and queries.

Last night, Monty was telling my wife that how she wishes her mom would just stay home and leave the 'working for the money' with daddy. She said, " working is for the fathers". It was an innocent but a strong statement.

It may seem that kids don't understand how adults do things but their childish views are significant too. Monty just wanted to spend more time with her mom and dad. Period.

The holidays are fast approaching and it's a wonderful opportunity for us to spend more time with the kids.

Just Saying!

I chanced upon this blog as I was 'Googling' and I realized that I have not written any post for the past year. When the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I thought it would be the best opportunity for me to start writing again. My excitement produced 2 blog posts, but that was it. Nothing followed. Fast forward to this time. Since I have some time to spare, let me just say this regarding what's happening out there. We are all tired of the quarantine life and wish we can go back to how we live before this virus came to being. We blame the government for all the inefficiencies and lack of foresight, insight and what not. We compare our state with other countries and their seemingly better response and outcome. We all have brilliant ideas on what to do and what should be done. We cannot even agree if face shields add a layer of protection or not! But do we really have to stress ourselves with all of these? Is it even worth the energy? Do we think something go...

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift. It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.

Changing our Attitude to Change

There is nothing permanent in this life. Everything changes and whether we like it or not, it impacts us. But instead of denying and resisting it, we should learn how to accept it and move on. “We need to develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset instead of a negative, defeatist one.” Have faith that God has a purpose in everything that happens. We need not understand what and why now, but for sure in His perfect time, we will know it and be thankful about it.
