how profoundly uplifting a simple phrase can move you when said by the right person at the right time. All he said was "Ai-Ling, you are better than that." Tis it. That made my day, yesterday.
The doctors finally found out what's wrong with my mother. She's having surgery next Thursday, and all should be well afterwards, I hope.
I don't want to be a bitter, sad girl anymore. Beautiful moments are striking in part because of their fleeting nature. I want to throw myself into this brief life and make the most out of it. I want to be the maker of beautiful, joy-bringing things. (And I will.)
I'm looking out the window of my bedroom; the green leaves of the trees outside are sprinkled with flecks of golden sunshine.
Toast with sweet butter and strawberry jam, dipped in rich hot cocoa. That made my morning.
Love.
