Grateful

Just got back from Australia, travelling to some familiar places I've been to. This trip was meant to be a chill and relax one for me, or so I thought. Trying out with new travel mates was truly an unforgettable experience. One thing that I have learnt is being grateful for the firm teachings from my father when I was growing up.

I used to dread and think why my father is so strict with my brother and I. When I was a teenager he would often reprimand or correct us on how we behave, speak and being responsible to others. Though they were tough times I am appreciative of what he wants of me now. I can proudly say I have not let him down. It is true that only family members can tolerate and allow your weaknesses at home. It is them who rather you falter at home than at outside. It would have been really embarrasing when outsiders tell you how bad your etiquettes are, fortunately I do not need to be told.

I also spent my 34th birthday in the land of down under this year. It was the coldest day on the trip and nursing a bad cold at the same time. I felt loved by the many at home. My FB wall was filled with so many greetings from so many family and friends. While I could not reply each and every of them then, I could still feel their warmth even now after so many days. When I visited a friend and her family I had a delicious cake for celebration even though it is many days after my birthday. Thank you, you know who you are.

I am grateful for the blessings these years. Thank you Father in heaven, for always looking out for me.
