You're stronger than you think...

You'd be surprised what you have the stomach for when you have to.

Couldn't agree more.

Stay blessed.

Sunday summer

A lazy sunday ...

All I have to say for the day is

Stay blessed.

Like the handprints ...

One of the greatest blessing of God is to have parents who set good examples. Parents whose expectations are worth living up to. Parents you call mom and dad.

They teach you young, early on and put you on right path.

For such loving parents:

It would be honor for any child to hear such words.

Stay blessed.

Wise wants

"I think I'd like to find a middle ground for myself," he says.

Ah! the balance. Like the edge of sword.
A tight rope to walk.
Difficult but daring all the same.
Wisdom is the reward allowed to those who can walk this thin cutting side.
Knowing your limits, challenging them but never crossing.

Stay blessed.

Make choices. That's what matters

I have been waiting to upload this one since last two days.

Come to think of it.

We are all defined by choices we make.

Some choices stand us good in long run. Some don't.

Some become memories. Some experiences.

And this is how life is. Continually throwing options.

And this is how we live. Continually choosing.

No second chances.

No backtracking.

Choosing and moving on.

Defined, described and directed by choices we make.

So, choose well.

Father's Day ... Parent's Day

Today happens to be third Sunday of June.

Celebrated world over as Father's Day.

I believe that one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad. One is the soul of the family and the other heart. Together, they make home a heaven.

So, today I chose to deviate from my currently reading shelf to share this nugget from the partial draft of Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer (which happens to be my favorite part in Twilight series, disappointed that she didn't finish it though):

Yeah I know I made it sound like Parent's Day rather than just father's. Well important thing is family and love.

Stay blessed.

We are ...

Another precious line that struck a chord with my heart.

"We" are all we have.

Or

We are "all we have".

I would prefer the former though the latter is equally true.

A wild world

A wild world.
The phrase so open-ended, you could actually let your imagination run free and be surprised by what all things you can visualize.
Five words.
But they cover so much.
To me, however, they sound like a call.
To face and fight my fears.
Yes, it is a wild world out here and only the fittest survive.
May the odds be ever in our favour.

Stay blessed.

Keeping promises

God Almighty, they say, works in mysterious ways. Giving us somethings straightaway and keeping somethings from us forever and occasionally giving us surprises. To this they add, this another pearl. If it is what you had wished for, it is good. But if it is not what you had desired, it is best. For it then is of the Good Lord's will and he keeps whole of the world in the palm of his hand. Showering TLC in his mysterious ways. Just like He had promised.

So as I begin this new week, let there be this prayer on my lips and in my heart:

Stay blessed.

Desire to live

I read this portion yesterday and this line has been echoing in my head. Reverberating, resounding and resonant.

Over and over again. Like a record playing in a loop. A reinforcing reminder tingling on my tongue and dying there, only to be reborn again after some time. Like ripples of water.

Stay blessed.

Ready for tomorrow

I was reading this book called Insurgent by Veronica Roth and this line stayed with me.

Inspiring, readying for tomorrow.

For whatever it brings, whatever follows.

Stay blessed.
