Had a dinner last night! Good to catch up! We are now on the verge to moving on to the next project in our lives! Something to look towards!
Then arriving home, I heard that a friend died in Hong Kong last night. First he was hospitalised, discharged and then found motionless in bed, in a hotel, by the concierge, a few days later; all within a week!
Then this morning the papers reported that H1N1 has now mutated in the cold weather. There were four victims to date. Whether my friend is one of them, we have yet to know!
It does hit a cord. Went through almost the same thing; even with the concierge calling to check if I need room service as I did not leave room for two days!
Yes, I have been blessed that the weather held out till I left. It was hovering around 23-26 degrees Centigrade; although Beijing was hit by snow storm. The weather has plummeted since; hovering at 10 degrees in the day. It is also fortunate too, that this mutation have had not occurred two weeks ago. The thousands of exhibitors and visitors were from all over the world, literally. We would all have been carriers! Imagine, as I write, now, hardly three weeks later, 2012 would have had arrived at our shores.
So, do we really need to worry about 2012? There are more pressing and real issues at hand which would have brought the same consequences.
Vanity! Vanity! All is vanity! We know this well from Ecclesiastes! Why worry about the future if we cannot appreciate the present! Why worry whether we do not want to be like this or like that; or registered with this institution or that; or this church belongs to this clan or that.
Please, let us focus on and celebrate, the Blessings and the Life, we currently have at hand!
