fresh blank pages

I'm sure I need not explain more for how busy I've been with life for the past few months hahaha.

Today, I just wanted to jot down this day of mine, 8 June 2018.

I think I've mentioned before how sometimes you may know things, but that doesn't mean you understand and have learnt it.

Today, I finally had a taste of why each day is a fresh blank sheet of paper in my life. I finally learnt to not let yesterday's worries and troubles have any power over today's brand new day. It is a fresh page that is full of possibilities that has yet to come, a fresh page where I have control over what I want to write and make true.

I've come to realise that bad times will come regardless of how ready or prepared you are.

I learnt that it is more effective to learn how to acknowledge it, let necessary emotions flow naturally and be quick to find a solution to act upon.

Life hit me hard lately and just yesterday something major happened which finally pushed me to the limits of my limits. For a very rare time, I wanted to surrender and give up completely.

But I am very grateful for today, for the timely #KPMGSportsDay2018, which gave me a day to break out of my usual routine.

Maybe it's the early morning basketball games // which we won all 4 games(!!!)

Maybe it's that moment at the field with the sun shining so generously upon us // there's something about watching sports on the field on a sunny day that always remind me of the gift of youth and the optimism they bring

Or maybe it's the finale relay that helped end the event on such a high note // I had such good laughs while cheering at the dino race because it was really so cute and comical to watch it live. Laughter is the best medicine and can cure everything if you let it. Don't you agree?
P.S Terribly sorry dino runners, I can imagine how tough it is to run in that suit but you guys gave your best and helped give everyone (not forgetting the little kids and children there too) a good memory to remember *CLAPS and hats off to you*

So yes... I am surprised that I can still be extremely happy today (the irony and stark contrast with yesterday's dark troubles). I am thankful that I have the choice and ability to act upon my life and change things . To let things flow and put myself out there to think less, do more, play more, enjoy more.

Each day can be a fresh blank sheet of paper.
& it is such a good thing to be grateful for because you are gifted with this reset button every twenty four hours.
