Where Do I Begin?

It has been a while..
Hello everyone! 
It feels good to be writing again
To be in touch with you again :)

It took me quite some time to decide if I should ever write again.
After all, it has been some months now I've not written.
And I was asking myself..
How do I start writing again?
What do I say?

I have been ill.
That's the reason for my long absence.
The hospitals have been my second home.
It's not that bad as I got to meet nice patients
and we end up being friends until today.

Not to mention my garden which were left neglected :(

But to see my azalea with flower buds..??
I was telling myself, this can't be happening.
I never thought my plants survived let alone to start blooming!!

Expect the Unexpected..

And for this particular reason
I told myself I'm taking the road less travelled instead
and marvelled at the beauty that is about to bloom
and reflect it in my own life.

I'm not quitting.
Rather starting again...

  2. Hi Ash, welcome back! I thought that I've lost you on my radar. Glad to hear that you are now well again and able to appreciate the blooms. Having this optimism is having won half the battle. May you be blessed with good health and do take care.

    1. Dear Ash, So glad that you have pulled through this ordeal. Life is precious and we would always want to clutch at it however precarious the situation might be. You are tough one and you will survive. In the aspect, how I wish that we are like the weeds in my garden, so tenacious is their hold on survival even under hostile conditions.
      Happy Holidays to you.
