Boston is so Cold

Boston is so cold. I cannot believe it. Oh well C'est La Vie!
So much has transpired in the last few months. I cannot believe it. I think I have become a better person with the experiences I have been able to live and experience.

Just treasuring all the times and seeing different things and being open has enabled me to appreciate more what I have back home with a higher level of further understanding of myself and that I think is important.

It is true that many things create and mold a person great relationships with friends and family, your job, your education, your interests and ideas. But I have been lucky to have encountered great people in my life. I must admit, when there were those who gave me heartache and headaches, it is also the learning and living of life. You grow stronger from each positive and of course negative experience.

Being laid off was unexpected, but within 24 hours, I turned around my attitude. It is true, you cannot change the situation but you can change your attitude. It is true what they say "mind over matter". I remember in cross country back in high school I always thought I could never finish the race , but I always did eke out the last amount of energy to finish the race. When I initially was dealt with the blow of losing my job, I had a headache and stomache (self induced by worry and upset). But after talking to some good friends, it disappeared because my frame of mind and thinking became clearer and not as fraught with worry. Why get depressed and physically sick.

Now it is good to get perspective and now I am ready to move forward with my life. It is true, if you cannot be happy with yourself, you cannot expect others to make you happy. It is not healthy for you if you do. No one should be expected to make you happy.

I believe in bringing joy and helping others. It is the small things in life that matter most. From a kind compliment to helping someone in need cross the streets or giving directions to a tourist who is lost. I believe in karma and what goes around comes around.

One old roomie of mine from Thailand said, after looking at my palm, I was reincarnated many times so I was an old soul. I guess I must be doing something right to be around for so long being a human again.
