Stress Relief : A break from the race
Stress Relief: A Break from the Race One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down. When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions. Have you ever felt like you are about to snap Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it. During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms. Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point then bend but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having. If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break.

It's me or it me?
It's me or is it me?
Confusing this may sound.. but this is the way it is ..or is it?
But to be pretty frank.. i was very apprehensive about beginning a blog. I usually consider this a more of Page3 thing..though I'm coming accross blogging being adopted even as a career option. Bloggers , they call them.
So what does a blogger do? He airs his feelings, writes down about his thoughts, gives opinions sometimes and so much more.
So now what should I do with this page that I've begun.. I'm not a diary writer. I'm not a journalist. My views on events around me are quite restricted due to the gradual deterioration that time has brought upon me in terms of thought, creativity and our own "inglis". Now that I've created it.. I have to nurture it. So let's give this aspect a good try ..
Should I or shouldn't I?
