Lucky..

You realize how good life is when the first thing you hear in the morning are those words said with utmost sincerity..and your morning starts to shine as if the world smiles at you. Life really is funny... just when you think everything's going as bad as it can get, you make one turn around the corner and it all changes. And then you begin to understand the reasons you have not been able to comprehend some time ago in your distant past...

Life is good... especially when you are appreciated and respected for the human being that you are. You may pass through points in time when your worth as a person is questioned by the very people dear to you but then it ends. It's true that there is light at the end of a long, sad journey... you just go through that phase, trying to keep your head up and then ultimately you move on. Trust me you do... and when you eventually find that one person who makes you feel priceless... who thinks the world of you...and who equates having you as a lucky stroke...you will know that the hardships you had to encounter before arriving at your destination were all worth it.

Life is a playful thought...a cycle. One day you're happy, the next you're sad. But it just makes the experiences real and important...there will be times when you find a moment to stop and think if you've made the right decisions or if you've let the right person go...and if you realize that you did, you'd have to live forever with the pain of that loss. You remember the incident as painfully as it happened yesterday. But something more painful than making the wrong decision is when life gives you no right to decide at all...when it just presents you with something you can't choose from. You feel the helplessness..the desire to do all you can do to resist but to no avail...

And then someone gets the privilege to choose how your life should go for you despite your wishes. You try to beg and plead to that person for the life you've envisioned and planned for... but it will all be shattered. All thrown away and lost in a glimpse... you break into pieces... the core shattered... no remedy in sight. For a moment, you thought your life has ended~

But just for a moment...because new life starts where one ends. Then everything becomes so new. Every experience, every thought, every dream is slowly being born...again! Then hope flourishes, like the bud that starts to blossom in spring after a cold, hard winter. The "beautiful but short lived" life you once knew ended to be replaced by a more real and more promising life with a new hand to hold and share the experiences and new plans and dreams to work for and fulfill...and this time around, you make sure that the dreams will become a reality in the end...

Life is hard to define...but when you define your life through the eyes of the person you share it with, you will behold the beauty and majesty of what you have.

Thus, i am so lucky to have you..
