I've not forgotten since. And the day always delivers.<br /><br />Wonderful to see you again. Thanks for coming by and for your comment. Appreciating it.

We have to leave room to be surprised in life :) WritingsForLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222395399977749183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-38305327434209431542013-07-17T20:02:55.539+08:002013-07-17T20:02:55.539+08:00That line there calls for another post another tim...That line there calls for another post another time. You have a point.<br /><br />But this one here is all about keeping an open mind and a welcoming heart in anticipation of what wonderful things could happen in the day. In real life, one does not really go about armed with stuff to ward off unpleasant negative things that could come one's way, as is what life is also about. Rather one can prepare for good surprises with a mind set that does not close itself to discovery, new experiences, adventure, and the like.<br /><br />By the way, the movie 'Dan In Real Life' opens the mind to such wonderful possibilities.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by.
