Just One Paragraph!

After spending some times living in denial, disappointments and sadness, I finally have to face the truth. Instead of "why me again?" statement, I am really striving to rephrase my question to "what do YOU want me to learn again and again?"

This following text is really encouraging, at least for me. I hope you will, too, be encouraged.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

" The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon , 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'
"

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble
and Success keeps you glowing,
but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

Lady Rain

Raining season is approaching in Indonesia. Two days ago, I saw some water dripping from the sky. It soothed my heart.

Last night, while I was asleep, it was raining cats and dogs. No wonder I slept like a baby.

I don't know what I exactly love about rain and walking in the rain, but for this season, I will say:





















"I love walking in the rain, 'cause then no-one knows I'm crying"

Let it rain!
Rain, come down on me!
