looking out for our own blessings
everytime you think there is no god, anytime you feel lost and unloved and that the universe is out to get you, remember that it us who forget to look out for our own blessings soemtimes. the universe IS taking care of us.
when you pass through a series of 5 headlights, all of which are green. when you get the perfect parking spot in a usually crowded area. when your fav song plays on the only radio station your stupid player is stuck on. when a story idea that pops into head like a strike of genius really is genius idea. when an article youre working on flows together quickly. when someone laughs at joke you crack, and you know that he or she is genuinely happy because of you even if its just for a minute.
these are moments that prove that god really is looking after you, that whatever powers that be in the universe that you prescribe to are reminding you that they are on your side no matter what, that these small joys are meant to take you through the pain of the bigger sorrows that you are fated to experience. it is a short holiday from a season of bad luck and traffic jams, when the clouds part and the sun shines and lets you smile, and reminds you to cherish the moment because it will help you work your way through all else that comes your way.

Completely true.
Words fail to express what I'm thinking, but I know the essence of this particular blog.
Take care.- Meera
i love the random kindnesses of strangers ... these moments lift a horrible day in an instant.
the other day, i was going to work after a trip to the dentist. Stopped the car at a red light in PJ. When it turned green, I found the elderly Chinese gentleman in front of me had jumped out from his car and was directing traffic around it - it had stalled. I stopped round the corner to see if I could help, but by the time I got to his car, a young Chinese guy in a van and a young Malay guy on a bike were already helping him to push the car. This happened in mere seconds, these strangers stopping for another stranger.
The reason I noted their races in this post is because this was the first time in a long time that I felt ... yeah, ok, THIS is muhibbah. There IS hope for our country, because of people like this - and they are not the damn politicians spewing meaningless rhetoric, but the anonymous van drivers and motorbike riders.
It was like finally exhaling after holding your breath for ages.
Ok, I've gone off on a tangent here! But my point was - random kindness gives birth to hope and faith.
