Celebrating Life

Zixiu and I during church choir practice :D

I am learning to count my blessings. It seems that if I do more of that, everything would just fall into place for me. Probably, it's just the alteration of my perception.

At the beginning of this week, I was dwelling on something so negative. So many "what ifs" came into my mind. I could just sit in the lecture hall with the lecturer teaching, and I would be in a daze. Maybe I was just self-pitying myself. It was until after school when one of my classmate started sharing about her dream of going to Thailand to help those children infected with AIDS. She watched this show featuring them. What impacted her was when one of the kid said, "I know that I am not going to live for very long. But I am contented that I can live up till today."

That struck me. Have I been so complacent that I have forgotten all the things I have been blessed with? I have parents who love me, a school to go to, friends who will be there for me.

I celebrate life, never will I get sad over that matter again. I know God has a way for me :)

Woohoo! Musical prac tomorrow! :D
