I have also achieved a lot more than any other decade I know of.
In the last decade, I made many an effort to climb off my high horse to sniff the flowers and also to gather some to make a daisy chain for my said high horse. (I mean, if I am going to sit up there less, I want my horse to look smashingly good, k? :)
I have learned to give people as much space as they need, scrunched myself up to give other flowers more room to grow and by doing so, I discovered that the sky is not the limit and that I could grow as tall as I wanna. So watch out for me, Sun Deity.
I have realized that below is no different than above although it may appear so, that sweet praise is just or even more effective than harsh criticism when it comes to making one strive to become a more flowing artist although both could have the opposite effect as well. And here in this world of mine, I get lots of encouragement and praises from my buddies which give me the urge to not only to re-read my blog and correct any errors, it also makes me want to strive to become a better writer. So perhaps sweet praise is just or even more effective as harsh criticism in motivating one to strive to become the best... (I remembered this one time when my mom criticized me for not doing a good job with the dishes and instead of correcting the error, I slammed the dishes back into the sink and told her to do it herself. Grr. However, a few days later when I couldn't escape the dish chores, I remembered to pay more attention to the job at hand...oh...oh...but...my mother became the evil empire in my world. U see, praise could have earned her a peg up my pedestal becuz had she stopped by to give a word or two of encouragement, I would have indeed gone over my work since I want to deserve all my praises :-)
I have kissed more feet than I could count and have found that although its a deliberate act meant to humble myself, that it had the opposite effect on me and that it was the poor feet I kissed that became the humbled ones. Yikes.
I have discovered that this world is filled with many flowers and that each and every flower is just as beautiful as me in their own way.
Oh, I also realized that this world is very flexible and I could bend it better than beckham if I wanna. So there, David, so there. Actually, strike that, I am too lazy to bend anything stronger than the Beckhams of this world.
All by my wittle self, I discovered new virtual worlds which are all a great discovery considering that I am not even a gorl columbus but one little black bird nightingale who can't even sing to save her life.
During the last decade, I have been practicing healthy living and eating habits, yes, me, a little brown mouse who can't cook but can certainly pick berries to save the whole world :)
I became aware that the grass across the road is not any greener, why its also the same bloody grass once you have chewed on it long enough.
I also became aware that what I am doing is never enough, that there is endless room for growth on this planet and that life is great on every level.
Okay, much more to be added later to this blog but in the meantime, I wanna say :-Hello there, 2010, here I am, all ready for more fun adventures and discoveries. May the wind be on my back and if not too bad, I am gonna create breeze with my mouth.
