The elevator is out again?

When the elevator is out again, is it time to groan or to go with a sedentary staff‘s exercise?

Forget about the 10,000 steps, this climbing up stairs is even more challenging!

Nowadays there are inbuilt pedometer apps on mobile phones to track one’s daily steps… That is, if one remembers to carry the phone along when one moves around!

“The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs, one step at a time.” — Joe Girard

“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.” — Dalai Lama

Changing others, changing self!

CHANGING OTHERS, CHANGING SELF!

Today, I read this with mixed feelings:

“Be wary of people who constantly keep an eye on what

you’re doing but don’t compliment or support you.”

– Dhar Mann –

****

Have you ever felt this way at work, at home, or in your social circle?

Do you feel unappreciated by your boss, your spouse, or your friends?

***

But Nicky Gumble says,

“You can’t change how people treat you or what they

say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.”

I am sure there are many authors who say about the same things above, too.

It is true, but we cannot change others.

So, many thanks to the many who support me!

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 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!

keep going!

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.
