Yeah, it's been a while since my last post.
I read few books on happiness, and will share some of the learned wisdoms on my future posts. Meanwhile I have been busy with my work and my family. I found that in times of sorrow, I can always be cheerful again by drawing the happiness energy from my family and from my Faith. It is like no-limit saving account. Now I sound like a very religious person which I am not. However by submitting myself to Him, I know I never walk alone.
This song moved me when I attended the Ash Wednesday mass few weeks ago.
We rise again from ashes,
From the good we've failed to do.
We rise again from ashes,
To let you make us new.
If all our world is ashes,
Then must our lives be true,
An offering of ashes,
An offering to You.
We offer you our failures,
We offer you attempts,
The gifts not fully given,
The dreams not fully dreamt,
Give our stumblings direction,
Give our visions wider view,
An offering of ashes,
An offering to You.
Then rise again from ashes,
Let healing come to pain,
Though spring has turned to winter,
And sunshine turned to rain,
The rain we'll use for growing,
And create the world anew,
From an offering of ashes,
An offering to You.
