HOME within you...

The journey begin since beginning of march, every time when i pack my baggage, I will asked myself, how long is my trip? The longer can be 6 weeks to 2 months....

So it's have been a month, 4 country and  10 cities and 11 hotels.... moving from one place to the other place, there is always funny scenes happened, sometime when i wake up, after I claim my best day! "Today is my best day" looking at the celling an start looking around, ok where I am now? 

or asking my husband again and again, could you tell us our room number again? he always give me room 1230, or Room 3202, or Room 1609... that is my home when I am on the road. 

Recently one of my friend asked me, do you miss home? and I pause? "HOME" it is meant my home town..... yes! I do miss my mother, brother and sister, but not the physical home. it is the feeling and love toward them. In this journey, everywhere I go, there is always CV family members who welcome us and having a great meaningful time together, so HOME is actually within me. I am carry myself, which is my own home to everywhere I go, no matter how I feel, where I go, 247 I am with myself, which is the physical home that my spirits staying, or where my heart is.

What If?

Most of us go through each day looking for what we saw yesterday. And not surprisingly. that is what we find.

Most of us expect the same, or worse and we are not frequently disappointed. But what would happened if we started to expect surprise? What if we removed the blinders that allow us to see only more of the negative things we have come to expect in life?

What if we started to look for the ordinary magic? would we be disappointed?

What would happened to us if we really fell in love with life? HOw would our lives change if we really thought, as Thoreau encourages, that reality fabulous? What if we took his advice and " Steadily observed reality only"?

Would our lives really be like a fairy tale, as he suggests? What if we started to look for the grand things that life would bring us each day? Would we be fools of whom other peoples take advantage, or would we find that life is exciting, joyful and wonderful?
