It has been a good day...to touch base with friends and family, and my many children. I had a good laugh with C, and was glad to see E's sense of humour growing.( smile more please). Of course, there was lunch with Sky, and Akmal...and when I came home, my big boy was home after being away for three days. And in the evening, I was surrounded by the endless exchange of corny jokes between Akmal and Iffah...ah, at this point, life is bliss.
All the money in the world cannot buy the special moments I have had with those who mean a lot to me. And I am warmed and comforted in the knowledge that I have a large, loving family.
While I count my blessings, I also realise that there are some out there who are not as fortunate...to feel the way I do.
But let me share with you a secret...I think I feel gratified because I think I work hard at building relationships. I guess I believe that love is something that should be unconditional...give willingly, and expect nothing in return. But so far, I feel I am the one who has gotten so much.
And in the spirit of the coming festivity, I make an appeal to all...to put aside the negative emotions, to be forgiving, and keep on building bridges. Your family...your friends...your parents, your children....are really worth your time, and love.
Here's a clip to help you remember why.
Even if the I am not able to link you to the site...please watch the Petronas ads...that deal a lot with family values. Let me tell you that it will be worth your while.
