Corazon


It's your birthday today, and I'm choosing joy.  

I'm celebrating your life.

I'm honouring the memories you left behind.

I'm so very grateful you were a part of my childhood, and I am thankful for all the things that you taught me.

Gone but never forgotten!

Milestones


 

My online calendar alerted me that it is the anniversary of STEEST (my old blog).  Old blog and old story there only for the very curious people who can check my last post.

When I couldn't resurrect STEEST, I created SFGEMS.  This is the beauty of learning to let go and then moving on to other things.  In a way, SFGEMS began as a continuation of STEEST but as providence would have it, SFGEMS was a new milestone for my life in Singapore.  

STEEST was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 18 September 2008. 

SFGEMS was born in Toa Payoh, Singapore on 18 July 2012.

Co-incidentally, my granddaughter was born on 18 March 2019.

It was only this morning that I realised the number 18 appearing for each milestone. I began blogging on 18 September.  I started SFGEMS on 18 July and my granddaughter arrived on 18 March.  

For those who believe in numerology, it probably means something.  To me, it's just a random observation that I made.

Just like the image above says 

"Writing is seeing.  It is paying attention".
