Who woke me up?
4 am, Renee woke up for milk and diaper change...
4:30am. ... Phoebe cried... because she was up since 3:30am, rejected milk and helper couldn't make her sleep...
So, I rocked her to sleep. But I couldn't sleep. .. its been an hour since...
I thought it was them who kept me awake but no... It was me! It was myself who was influenced by an inspirational talk on Friday by a guess speaker Jenny Wee.
It's a long story but net of it... The take back from the 1 hr sharing was how we can find contentment in life, to have a mission, and most importantly, to make the best of every season of our life.
I really love the positivity, quote and motivation from Jenny.
Also, it was privilege that her very close friend, who is also a powerful speaker and active community service volunteer shared 2 mins of message. A gentle reminder for all to see, sense and appreciate the many things that we have but not what we don't have. Many times in life, people see only what others have but they don't. Soon, they became upset, unsatisfied and pressurised, in short, unhappy. On a contrary, we should just look at what we have and appreciate all these simple things. From there, we will be able to find contentment in our life and become a happier person.
More, is to have a mission in life. A purpose. It doesn't have to be big. If in any small little way that I can make a tiny improvement or touch the other person's life, it becomes meaningful and purposeful...
Friday night when we got home, a 20 yr old young lady from BMDP came knocking on the door to raise awareness abt charity opportunity for bone marrow, leukemia disease. She explained that she can explain more and help me with the forms but she'll not collect any cash. It was 8pm plus on a Friday evening. She had sacrificed her weekend family time to serve the community. I salute her. Though I didn't provide her with any further details or make any donation right away, I know I'll do that via the official website/ organisation. Anyway, the least I could do for her is to offer her a packet drink and thank her for her time in running this. I wish her good luck. Anyway, to help spread a little word abt that... pls check out http://bmdp.org
