Living, a day at a time

Life is like a box of chocolates, you’ll never know what you’re gonna get -Forest Gump

You’ll never know, when will the next beautiful thing comes, where you’ll be totally caught off guard, and be so intensely in awe at the splendor of that beautiful creation.

You would never know, when will love drop by your doorstep, sweeping you off your feet, gushing excitement and warmth all over your mind and body, leaving you wondering where have this person been all your life.

You’ll never know, when will that unplanned, tingling yet satisfying feeling appear; like finding yourself sitting by the window on a drizzling evening, with a random song playing in a warm coffee house, staring into the drizzling sky outside the window without any rush for anything.

You would never know, what happenings tomorrow has to offer; receiving a postcard from a friend in Paris; a love gift just when you are in a financial need; coming across a nice song while passing by the CD shop on the way home; or just slowing your footsteps and realizing that the road you take every day is actually very beautiful.


What does a year has to offer? That quiet train ride from a random city to another; an unexpected missionary trip in helping the needy build a school; a new friend that makes you wanna spend the rest of your life just having him or her to talk to; an unheard songwriter that you fell in love with; or that quiet restaurant that you began to really take pleasure in.

Life is a precious gift, don't break the Giver’s heart by not appreciating it;

It is short, so keep it simple.

"It is like a box of chocolates,


you’ll just never know what you’re gonna get"
