This period of time, when I need company for lunch and other activities, I am grateful to have someone close to me, a sister, to be around.
I am used to doing things independently, and when I find it hard to do it when I have too much thoughts distracting my concentration lately, I turn to one of my sisters for support, and she is always there for me.
This makes me feel touched and gives me a sense of security and contentment.
Thanks to have her company during this period of time!
I am grateful for her time, her reassuring words of encouragement!

Engagement ring are worn on the fourth finger ...
Engagement rings are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena amoris, or the 'vein of love,' that runs straight to the heart.
The first recorded wedding rings appear in ancient Egypt, with the circle representing eternity as well as powerful sun and moon deities.

Everything else falls into line
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.
You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
-- Lucille Ball (1911-1989)
=====
Like the safety announcement/video on board any air plane, if you have kids or people you need to attend to in the event of accident, please put on your own oxygen mask etc... first before helping those around you.
The way we do it in normal circumstance, with the pressure created by the those who need our help, it is common to scarify our own needs and end up not helping others and harm ourselves at the same time.

Have made some difference ...
I think the purpose of life is to be useful,
to be responsible,
to be honorable,
to be compassionate.
It is, after all, to matter:
to count,
to stand for something,
to have made some difference that you lived at all.
-- Leo C. Rosten (1908-1977) American Writer

Apple Visionary Steve Jobs Dies At 56
Steve Jobs, Poet Of Computer World, Dies
http://www.npr.org/2011/10/05/123826622/apple-visionary-steve-jobs-dies-at-56
Life is short, yet he had lived well and contributed more than average people who lives longer than him!
In retrospect, I re-"view" the following video and find his life philosophy even more insightful than the first time I viewed it years back:
***He was rejected at birth, and was also rejected by a company he created!
***The only way of doing great work: to do what you love!
*Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself.
*Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
*And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html
The same video is on Youtube with a different title:
Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc
"Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself -- at the university's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005"
Here is the news from NPR today:
Apple Visionary Steve Jobs Dies At 56
http://www.npr.org/2011/10/05/123826622/apple-visionary-steve-jobs-dies-at-56
Silicon Valley venture capitalist Roger McNamee says, "the sum of which put him in a place where no one else has ever been before. To me he is of his era what Thomas Edison was to the beginning of the 20th century."
NPR (National Public Radio) "In many ways Jobs was the poet of the computer world. He'd gone to India and become a Buddhist. He took LSD and believed it had opened his mind to new ways of thinking."
Google "Steve Jobs" and read on and you will get to know more about him!

Give What You Want
If you want trust, trust others.
If you want respect, respect others.
If you want help, help others.
If you want love and peace in your life, give them away.
If you want great friends, be one. That’s how it works.
-- Dan Zadra

Test it out and you will know it works!
Cheers!

Rebuilding our strength...
"Many of us live with a variety of body aches that transform over time but never really go away.
Living in our body demands that we work with our injured muscles and rebuild our strength.
Someday there will be a scientific test that can measure the scar tissue in the heart. Just like those of every other muscle in our body, tears in our hearts repair, but not always in an orderly way."

Words of wisdom
Just found these "Words of wisdom" forwarded via email from a friend sometime back:
***********
On Pain...
***********
人之所以痛苦，在于追求错误的东西。
如果你不给自己烦恼，别人也永远不可能给你烦恼。因为你自己的内心，你放不下。
好好的管教你自己，不要管别人。
你随时要认命，因为你是人。
这个世界本来就是痛苦的，没有例外的。
你什么时候放下，什么时候就没有烦恼。
每一种创伤，都是一种成熟。
***********
On Worry...
***********
当你烦恼的时候，你就要告诉你自己，这一切都是假的，你烦恼什么？
根本不必回头去看咒骂你的人是谁，如果有一条疯狗咬你一口，难道你也要趴下去反咬他一口吗？
忌妒别人，不会给自己增加任何的好处。忌妒别人，也不可能减少别人的成就。
永远不要浪费你的一分一秒，去想任何你不喜欢的人。
得不到的东西，我们会一直以为他是美好的，那是因为你对他了解太少，没有时间与他相处在一起。当有一天， 你深入了解后，你会发现原不是你想像中的那么美好。
这个世间只有圆滑，没有圆满的。
***********
不要刻意去猜测他人的想法，如果你没有智慧与经验的正确判断，通常都会有错误的。
你要感谢告诉你缺点的人。
时间总会过去的，让时间流走你的烦恼吧！
不要因为小小的争执，远离了你至亲的好友，也不要因为小小的怨恨，忘记了别人的大恩。
感谢上苍我所拥有的，感谢上苍我所没有的。
***********
当你手中抓住一件东西不放时，你只能拥有这件东西，如果你肯放手，你就有机会选择别的。
人的心若死执自己的观念，不肯放下，那么他的智慧也只能达到某种程度而已。
如果你能够平平安安的渡过一天，那就是一种福气了。多少人在今天已经见不到明天的太阳，多少人在今天已经成了残废，多少人在今天已经失去了自由，多少人在今天已经家破人亡。
***********
恶口永远不要出自于我们的口中，不管他有多坏，有多恶。你愈骂他，你的心就被污染了，你要想，他就是你的善知识。
你不要常常觉得自己很委曲，你应该要想，他对我这样已经很好了，这就是修行的功夫。
世界原本就不是属于你，因此你用不着抛弃，要抛弃的是一切的执著。万物皆为我所用，但非我所属。
***********
学会用理解的，欣赏的眼光去看对方，而不是以自以为是的关心去管对方。
成熟的人不问过去；聪明的人不问现在；豁达的人不问未来。
***********
发光并非太阳的专利，你也可以发光。
你可以用爱得到全世界，你也可以用恨失去全世界。
爱的力量大到可以使人忘记一切，却又小到连一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容纳。
人总是珍惜未得到的，而遗忘了所拥有的。
***********
On friendship
***********
如你想要拥有完美无暇的友谊，可能一辈子找不到朋友。

Love and approval
"We all have the power to define our own worth and bring love into ourselves.
While you might think that the only love that feels really great is love from another person, this is a huge false belief.
If you have ever experienced a moment where you feel full and joyous for no external reason, you know that it is possible to feel incredibly wonderful without another's love and approval."

Self-love vs self-abuse
We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves.
The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse.
Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal.
Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.
-- Don Miguel Ruiz

Gazing at each other
Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
