Another journey lies ahead
Another journey lies ahead
The surgery is a success!
The growth has been removed.
What lies ahead
is another journey!
A survivor’s journey.
And watch out
if it will appear again!

Some cancer survivors learn to live
without a certain organ.
Many watch out
for recurrences.
Some battled
recurrences several times!
Like recurring nightmares!
Another journey begins…

Keep going, don’t stop!
Keep going, don’t stop!
Today I saw this on social media. It aptly describes that as we age, we must still be moving, even if, SLOWLY!
A decade ago, I was trying to persuade my special child to go back on a bicycle. I went up the bicycle to show him, “see, mummy can ride!” … after three decades of not being on a bicycle!
When it was time to get down, I panicked. “Help, I don’t know how to stop!” I had to keep cycling another few rounds slowly, trying to find the courage to stop.
I did…with my bicycle wobbling and slowly, I landed on my side with mild abrasions on my palms and elbows! 🥲
As I was falling, a neighbor sitting and watching us for some times, came running towards me. So did my son.
But both did not catch me in time! 😓
Keeping life momentum is like riding a bicycle, indeed!

- A REAL MAN never hurts a woman. Be very careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. THE WOMAN came out of a man’s rib, NOT from his feet to be walked on, and NOT from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the HEART to be loved.

It takes skill to K.I.S.S.
It takes skill to K.I.S.S.
In Apathy, unfeelingly , I like what a fellow blogger, K.K. commented. “Short and crisp!” Not that it’s like crunchy potato chips, but it reminds one that it takes skill to K.I.S.S. (keep it short and sweet)!
I used to summarize CVs ( 1-4 pages long) to fit them into conferences’ program brochures. They were good exercises for me.
And if one can carry forth a point in 50 words instead of 500 words, I would prefer the shorter one.
I admire how some poets can describe bountifully ( if you can guess who has this name!) in a few words!
Practise K.i.s.s.-ing!

A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist. – Vladimir Nabokov
Free-Falling Heart Jolts
Free-Falling Heart Jolts
Rock climbing, scuba-diving,
and now free-falling bungee jumps
as high as a nine-storey building!
These adrenaline-producing activities
may jolt many-a-parent's heart, many times!
All for the challenge of courage and excitements!
Have you felt such heart jolt before? I did!
