most of the time if any when it comes around i spend that time counting my blessing -- just how things have came together and i think of the good things i have done so far this day and how would be the best way to accomplish what i still have to do!!!

Wow I was just sitting outside having some wine, looking at the stars having a quiet time and here is what I was thinking about -
Someone asked on here if we had any regrets and I mentioned one, but I have another.
When I was in China all the taxi drivers, motorcyle and car, hung around the station for rapid transit. We used to joke with them, but there was one who was very shy. He never said anything but when I walked past him he always said
"ni pioa liah" (phonetic spelling) which means you are beautiful or very beautiful
And I always smiled and said " she she ni hen hao" which could mean "thank you you are a very good person" or even "thank you you are my hero". Thats all he ever said to me.
We were coming out from the city one day and saw an accident, a motorcyle had been hit by a taxi and the two men were lying on the pavement - and one was this sweet man -
He was dying, I could tell - I tried to get out of the taxi just to hold his hand and the driver wouldnt let me - he said the police will be mad if you touch them -
And I let him hold me back ! I could have fought him and gone to this man and held his hand and told him "ni hen hao" but I didnt - and he died - lying on the pavement - with no one to comfort him -- I will never forget that I DIDNT go to him.
This is what I was thinking of tonight, He was one of those people who always made you smile, "you are so beautiful" always so polite and then he would blush --
I learned afterwards he had no family - I will always ask myself WHY did I listen to the taxi driver? what would the police have done? yelled at me? so what ?
If you could turn back time -- and when I think of him I pray that he has found a good place - and thank God for giving me the gift of meeting such kind and gentle people, even though I will always feel I let him down and let God down by NOT doing what I KNEW in my heart was the right thing and the humane thing to do -
So tonight my thoughts are back in China and this poor sweet man and my own short comings.
Edit: wow lana : quote "the silence moment, where air seems stopping..the wind seems stood still...surrounding the grave yards.. " you're good

I love to sit outside when it is not too hot or too cold. I especially love to look at the stars. I enjoy the night sounds or the sounds and smells of trees, grass, night ''critters'' and the breeze in the trees (tae in the wind). I often thing about my children at these times. How much I have loved them and loved raising them and sometimes I miss my little children and how much they needed me then. I guess all mothers do that. Mostly I just love to be out with nature. I once lived in a city for a while and I hated it. I have to have nature around me.

before the thought of my ex..would come to mind during quiet time...
now..matured and better...I always wonder around.... the silence moment, where air seems stopping..the wind seems stood still...surrounding the grave yards.. and I wonder what's going on inside..what am I to do if I were to being there one day...syshhh..
It's time to pray harder...
I read, I watched in movies, they said that we are going to move into a very dark swrilling hole once death comes to us...it seems like the big bang..don't you think so?...I wonder the connections..they may be true...

If the view is wonderful, which it usually is, I just spend my time enjoying the colors and smells.
If my mind needs to be active I contemplate how lucky I've been and generally about my children.

Moments like this in life I think how quietly happy I am and how the biggest gift I own (mine and my family's health) cannot be bought with any amount of money

Usually I just get a stupid annoying song in my head and spend my quiet time trying to make it go away.
