Peaceful evening walk
Grieving and moving on
Grieving and moving on
****
One grieves the loss of
amputated breast(s), anus,
there’s no turning back
****
One grieves the loss of
a dear deceased, loved one
both have to move on
****
One grieves for a child
once normal, now disabled
it’s a new path now
****
Letting go is hard
yet letting go is caring
to venture new paths
****
Letting go, is love
to care, to free, one lets go,
let go of control
****

In my hometown called Port Dickson
In my hometown called Port Dickson
************
Here in Malaysia
is a town called Port Dickson.
Some call it ‘Alang‘.
***
‘Arang‘ means charcoal
used to be a carbon mine
later a small port.

Driving leisurely
I parked along the road side
occasionally…
***
Marvelling, we watched,
serene sunset, camping tents,
human silhouette.
***
Please drive on, mummy!
Enjoying music background,
watching the night glowed.

As I W.F.H.
in my hometown, Port Dickson,
ala holiday .
a chariot take -off.
Beneath the umbrella of a leave
Beneath the umbrella of a leave
I saw many pictures of lotuses in bloom, posted by Toh HL.
********
This is the cutest.
Why would a beautiful bloom
hide beneath a leave?
*******
Do you need a sunglass
to hide from the bright sunlight?
No, a leave will do!

Embracing ageing in gardening
Embracing ageing in gardening
will my watermelon plants bear fruits?
It’s therapeutic
planting in my quietude self
meditative peace
And excitingly
I watch new green plants growing…
wonderful nature!
Tendrils climb netting
spreading upwards the trellis
grow, grow, babies grow!
When will they bear fruits?
red, yellow watermelons
watery delights!
Harvest I did twice
cucumbers, peppers, green leaves
when my kitchen needs
In my dear garden,
my fingers’ greener with age…
embracing ageing!

“Aging is not an option, not for anyone. It is how gracefully we handle the process and how lucky we are, as the process handles us.”
– Cindy McDonal
I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.”

Surface pen…a new pen
Surface pen…my new color ‘pencils’
When I was young, I was so proud to own my own box of color pencils. I remember using and sharpening them until they were about 1 inch long each.
Half a century later, I am privileged to draw using a surface pen for as many colors as I would like to!

5 tips to a long happy life
5 tips to a long happy life
"... a 100-year-old practicing medical doctor and neurologist and his five tips on how to stay healthy, happy and mentally sharp...
1. I don’t spend my days retired.
2. I don’t let myself get out of shape.
3. I don’t smoke.
4. I don’t restrict myself.
5. I don’t let my knowledge go to waste.
Quote:
When I was in high school in the 1930s, I told my father that I wanted to take up smoking. He said, “That’s alright with me. But why would anyone want to put anything but fresh air into his lungs when life is so short as it is?”
… I’ll have a martini and New York strip steak occasionally, but not every day.
