I am grateful ... Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a big celebration in the United States.
It is like having a Harvest Festival back home.
I love celebrating Thanksgiving my darling hubby family ... lots of things to be thankful for.
All of my sister in laws are great cook .... my oldest sister in law she baked four different dessert on Thanksgiving. All of them are yummylicious.
But of course I am not only just talking about delicious and yummylicious food on Thanksgiving.
I am grateful for everything and everything ... I am not very good with words but I suppose Ralph Waldo Emerson poem will help me to express my gratefulness. I am thank you Father, Almighty.


We Thank Thee
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father, we thank Thee.
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we than Thee.
For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee.
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

What are you grateful for ?

Focusing on ...

“Real women fight for something, other than their own emotions.”  ―  Shannon L. Alder Is this true? A real women do not fight with their own emotions? I am just wondering. I am not good at fighting anyway ... physically or emotionally. Is that mean I am not a real woman? What really real woman mean then? I know I am just grumbling around. It is hard to focus in anything when you are just grumbling around. If I am not fighting on my emotions what am I fighting for then? I have to admit ... I get really sad and down and blank. Today I am just feeling empty inside. Am I depress then? Distress? Honestly I am trying to fight all these sadness and down-ness and blank-ness. I don't think anyway understand all these emotions of my right now. The problem is that no one can read it on me because it wasn't written on my forehead. Is this mean I am not a real woman? Well ... are you are real woman? How do one becoming a real woman or women?

I am for once ... a person lack of focus. It seem that I can't focus about anything. Well ... can you focus on anything  When ...  -   your forgotten to take the plants inside the house and they all all got burned. -   you found out your car is smoking while you are driving to work? -   you found the goats was inside the chicken pen and eat up all the feeds, Boo going to get real sick. Well these are just part of trivia of life. But honestly there are something else more that make me hard to focus on anything.

Be the Heroine

“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”  ―  Nora Ephron I found this quote by accident this morning. Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. by Nora Ephron. Who is Nora Ephron? She is the director, screenwriter and producer of the 2009 movie, Julie & Julia. One of my favorite movie. I still watch it once in awhile.  Often dragging my darling hubby to watch it with me. He knows I like Julia Child. I am a beginner collector of Julia Child cooking books. Well ... be the heroine of your life, not the victim. For a while ... since my Mami went away forever ... I have been feeling sorry for myself. I cried now and then every time I think of my Mami. I get mad now and then when I remembered I have to stay at HK International Airport for 8 hours before my next flight ... and knowing that she didn't waited for me. She has gone to be with the Lord since 05.55AM that morning, while I was on the my plane from Los...
