*If It Is Not Meant
When life becomes harsh, it makes us long for things that others have. We wish that someday, we also end up like them - successful in the endeavors they took, which we desire to happen in our lives. Then life becomes mean barring us from success, and bumping off every step we make to our goal. We then become restless, hopeless, depressed, and longing for more.
Then one day, we look around and saw others in situations harsher than ours. We discover that we are blessed to have gotten this far, and better than before. Consolation it may seem but we look around again, and see that there are realities that we have to deal. If it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be. We still have to do something about a situation but we have to face realities. We have to accept if things went awry despite the exhaustion of efforts. We have to live because there are others that need to live because we live.
*I am no superwoman.
It is amazing how others regard me and depend on me. They seem to think that I am always capable of being there when they need something, as in I can always give, or be capable of helping every time they think they need me. Absurd how they live life always depending on others, these people are. And when I am in need, I cannot even run to them for emotional support. On second thought, I would prefer to give than receive.
*Being Nonchalant
There are people who can live this way, and can still afford to be cranky when they do nothing.
*Ten Simple Pleasures
It is such a compliment to find out that somebody took time to remember you... and with a tag! So, Agring, here goes (in no particular order) my top ten simple pleasures:
1. evening meal with husband and kids
2. chummy talks with kids
3. intimate time with hubby until the wee hours
4. telling, and listening to, funny stories
5. quiet times
6. girl talks
7. reading posts of my favorite bloggers
8. cook for the family
9. foot spa
10. taking pictures and organizing them
mon-mon, din-din, mushy, jane and jhay, I choose you to share your simple pleasures in life, if you have time ;-)
intimate time with hubby until the wee hours? ahem ;)
ReplyDeleteenjoy life ate bing. sana laging masaya noh?
'nga, e, jane.
ReplyDeleteyea, intimate time with hubby. minsan usap at kwentu-han lang naman, na may side dish ha ha ha
That's why my taglines says "Reality bites, then life sucks". It's something that we all have to accept...
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy reading posts and comments from other bloggers. And yeah, taking pictures, too.
ReplyDeleteI am no superwoman either. As much as I would like to prepare a dinner for hubby everyday it's impossible. We both work different shifts.
ReplyDeleteDo you go to a Spa salon or do u do it by yourself?
Thank you for doing this Meme Bing. Truly appreciate it...
reality bites, but life sucks 'sometimes, not all the time', single :-)
ReplyDeletetaking pictures is one of my addiction, niceheart.
i go to a salon, agring, it is relaxing to have someone massage your feet.
and about the tag, no problemo, i thank you.
I love girl talks too and foot spas. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were a super hero, I'd use my power of invisibility... to fight crime. :) What super power would you want to have Bingskee to deal with these people? :)
yea, girl talks.. and foot spas... the best!
ReplyDeleteI would want to have super strength, and telekenesis. :-P lagot silang lahat sa akin ha ha
We all need quiet times once in a while and talk with Him.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
quiet times give me comfort in difficult times... have a nice day, too, ann.
ReplyDelete"Taking pictures and organizing them" is so me.
ReplyDeleteI share your sentiment. I feel a great sense of satisfaction when I can reach out to those who depend on me. But there are times when I'm weak and I need to lean on someone. Then I realize I simply can't because you are their rock. If you fail them, you fail yourself.
hey, evi! i so love taking pictures and organizing them. my photo albums are very valuable to me, kasi pinaghirapan ko. it is a hobby that is so satisfying.
ReplyDeletethere are times that we are not strong and incapable, and we seem to feel very alone doing all the things that should be done by those people but then in the midst of all, i can still think that i am blessed because i can give, or help, in my own little ways. but sometimes, too, i realize that i am not helping them at all instead i am allowing them to be more dependent. how will life be for them when i am gone?
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. -- Winston Churchill
