With this home, it truly signifies our new beginning together. New goals are set, new attitudes towards each other, new priorities altogether. Both of us strive to reach the skies as we begin to climb up the ladder. But as a matter of fact what holds us to the ground is actually our family and our extended family. We go back for hi-tea with them, we engaged in almost all of the family activities whenever some of them would come down from overseas, we pray together, we cheer for the man of the house during his football matches, we support each other in our crazy ideas, we do gardening, but most of all we talk. All three of us talk a lot. Not a moment goes silent. Communication opens up a lot of doors. I am glad that we encourage each other to better people, and to be kind to others. We try to be. We still have a long way to go of course, and inculcating a lot of spiritual elements in our family. With God as our guide, I am confident we will achieve that spiritual goal of ours.
Well anyway, I just want to pose this question. How to define wealth, as in how do I know if I have reached that highest point, or how to answer if someone asks me if I am ‘There’ already. There as in There la. Aiyo susah.. I do not know how to put it in simpler terms because I myself am so blur about it.
Whatever it is, I am content with what I have. I am a simple person and I know what I want in life. I used to be also blur about that part, but I guess I am getting a hang of things. I feel secure and safe and I know that I will be taken care of.
I think the secret of being happy (which is not really a secret) is to be contented with what you have. Ultimately when you mix around with people, they will have more than what you have, they will have that big car, they might have went around the world, they might have celebrity status, this that this that. Of course there will be a tinge of insecurity there and a bit of “How I wish I have that” here. Sigh. Material things at the end of the day. We can die tomorrow and there goes all that glitz, glamour and pictures of us around the world, but do we actually remember all that when we cross to the other side.
Guys, if we allow it, the carrot in front of us will always be in front of us. We will be like donkeys chasing the carrot but in fact is it attached to our heads. Do we actually want that?
Hey sayang, if you are reading this.. Let’s slow down and smell the roses. In our case halicornias etc (whatever that we had planted in our modest garden the other day). Let’s enjoy our gazebo and inhale the fresh air of our hilltop home. In the mean time, excel in your trainer career with that oil and gas company, and bring back the fruits of your labour to our home. Be that world class trainer that you are and gain respect from your top managers continuously, as what is going on right now. Let’s engulf ourselves on the little miracle that ‘storms’ our house by day and bring laughter by night. Jilus sets our feet on the ground and he will always bring joy to us..
As for me, I am happy (and occupied) managing your empire. Having someone like you to care and love me every single day make me the wealthiest woman ever. With that statement it truly describes the future Mrs Jerro Doss.
Luckily I engaged the help of my good friend Jackie, and hopefully she will be able to be my maid of honour. The other day we went to see some wedding dresses, bridal shop and all.. so far it's good. I still have not brought Jerro to see the place.
My theme would be lilac and with lots of flowers... and also lights.. romantic fairy lights.
Anyway the big day will be January 26th 2008. How many months left?? Aargh.. Panicking and sweating. Well most of the major stuff is already done. The small small stuff are the ones that I am worried of. Sigh hopefully my planners will be able to take care of those.
