Rod Stewart - Sailing [HQ]

Timeless classic.

I had an interview with a counsellor and he shared that he had a client who has been seeing him for 12 years. Immediately, I asked if there were changes or improvements in the person's life.

I was quite surprised at this reply.

He said, "No. In this case, its more of managing the issue. Its like a chronic issue, something like diabetes."

Somehow, I always had the impression that people's lives will definitely turn better after seeking help. I've never really heard or realised that sometimes its about managing the issue.

Quite amazed at that 'revelation' as it shows me that it does not mean that once you have broke-through, it would not come back and haunt you.

I've been really bugged about an issue in my life and it has really been bothering me. I thought everything was fine, until I was being tested in that area again.

It feels like a bondage, feels like a mental thing that weighs me down. I've no idea how to overcome it, except to do something that takes my mind off the issue, and in the process, hope that I enjoy doing it. Else, I'll just sink deeper.

And the last time this happened, I simply isolated my emotions and shut down, as much as I could. Escapism? A new word I learned today.

So today, when the counsellor mentioned about managing the issue, immediately I felt that's what I needed to do.

Yea. Face up to it, manage my emotions and allow God to fix me up.
If only I had more time with the counsellor. I'd probably ask him a lot of questions.

And the really strange thing... I felt really comfortable during the interview. Yes, I had interview jitters, but I felt comfortable to be honest, to share what I really felt and think.

And that's the best feeling I ever felt this few weeks.

Many thoughts. Little words


Can't express how I feel.

A Dog's Purpose?(from a 6-year-old)

.Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa , and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.

He said,''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued,

''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.''

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.




There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...


Have a great life.

Channing Tatum "The Vow" Guitar Solo

The Vow - Channing Tatum play guitar scene

Best quality I could find in youtube. This scene made me pick up my guitar and play it again. Awesome movie too.

Maybe, shouldn't, wouldn't, couldn't and haven't But maybe its not what I think, feel and see.

Despite all, I find myself returning. Was I being wise in doing that? Sometimes it feels like I am running away, hiding and masking it all.

Yet finding it difficult.
