prayer

Lord, when my soul is weary
and my heart is tired and sore,
and I have that failing feeling
that I can't take it any more;
then let me know the freshening
found in simple, childlike prayer,
when the kneeling soul knows surely
that a listening Lord is there

Random Doodles

Inspirational Quote: "We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. Our careful routine may be dramatically changed by events out of our hands. Or we take a risk and change our lives around. We can’t really know what tomorrow brings. There is something new around the corner to be discovered. This uncertainty is part of the thrill of being alive."

Random Worrying Thoughts: Nervous about my grandpa's tumor operation, but confident he will be OK, we're all fighters. Concerned about the stock market, bitter about the US stock market, see it as the fall of all markets, damn it. Don't like American political policies, the catalysts to world unrest and wars; Americans are hiding behind the mask of freedom and independence while trying to invade and dominate other nations.

Addictions: I am addicted to coffee, to the stock market, to the thrill of the movements of the market but bitter when it falls. I am addicted to massages even though I am not sure if I do indeed feel more relaxed afterwards. I am addicted to the TV and it's feeding me propaganda.

What I am thankful for: The wonders of live, of experiencing life, of feeling the wonder of life and having emotions. Thankful for the people around me, the little things your friends and people around you do to make your life easier. Thankful for the job I have and for the way of life my parents could provide me with. Thankful for my connection and relationship with God, he makes me more rooted and comforted in my midst of worries and unsettled thoughts. Thankful for my dog, he's there with me when I am feeling alone or needed something fluffy to hold. Thankful for the person I have become and want to continue becoming a better person, someone everyone is proud of, and a person that is grounded with compassion and empathy and understand there are so much in the world to be experienced and not be polluted by the materialistic society and its temptations.

What I love: I love sitting at home at night watching TV, I love making my cup of latte every morning, I love the McDonald's commercials, I love hearing stories/achievements made by others that make me feel very inspired or just all fuzzy inside. I love seeing Pretzel bite his little plastic bone, I love having dinner or drinks with people for a night of great conversations. I love the rush of buying cheap things and the thrill of receiving useful freebies. I love listening to funny stories and walking Pretzel to see the night view of HK. I love getting letters that are not bills and eating all the fine cuisine offered in HK. I love wearing stilettos minus the pain. Oh, i just put myself into a positive mood, life is GOOOOOOOOD

The end of today's random thoughts as I wait for my mask to dry, heeeeeeees
