Read an article today on the ”Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” and just want to sum up those points here. It is a great reminder for me because for the past year, our family has been facing many changes and uncertainty. This article reminds me when in the end, the most important things that left are love and relationships.
1. Live a life true to yourself – don’t live according to other people’s expectations and don’t be afraid to fulfill your dreams.
2. Don’t work too hard – find time to spend with your loved ones, nurture those who are entrusted to you, don’t miss all the windows of opportunities.
3. Have the courage to express your feelings – speak honestly instead of suppressing your feelings. You may loose some friends along the way, but those who appreciate your honesty will have a healthier relationship with you. It’s a win-win situation.
4. Stay in touch with your friends – don’t let the busyness of life bog you down and let friendships slip.
5. Let yourself be happy – don’t be afraid to laugh and be silly sometimes, happiness is a choice!
The dramatic cook took a break today. Breakfast and lunch were prepared by Fun junior female. Dinner was at Fun Auntie’s house: Steam Roast Duck by some intelligent cooker with sticky rice stuffing, pumpkin soup, vegetables in creamy sauce and special roast game hens for Missus Fun because she actually does not eat duck (ahem, remember now). Dessert was cheese cake from the Cheese Cake Factory – I am sure I will be dreaming about that.
Love and relationships, we sure experienced a lot of those today. May you all do the same and as often as you can.
