We are all busy.

With our work. Business. Children. Random errands. Housework. Commitments.

We are so busy till we may unconsciously forget to stop, look up and look around.

To notice what seems to have been little blessings we’ve in fact been receiving everyday.

To appreciate the beauty in the simplest things in life.

That’s what I saw when I looked up to the sky earlier today as I walked back home with Vai after dropping Anya off to school. An apartment building standing against the backdrop of a really nice big blue sky, as if to say, whatever challenging things that you’re facing at home, at work, there’s still hope. Life’s full of cloudy days, but there’ll still be blue sky after the rain.

    You are so right there… Once the material world get the better of us, we will tend to forget the most precious and yet free things in our lives… Therefore I tend to routine myself every Saturday to look out my window for 10 minutes. This certainly soothes me and make my day…

    Cindy :

    Yes true! It’s hard to ‘enjoy’ something if we hardly ever stop and look …

    Sandra :

    Checked out your blog and WOW yes you should post photos of Switzerland! I LOVE their open spaces and breathtaking sceneries!
