reminders

you know like in everyday life, sometimes you just need your phone reminders, alarms telling you what you have to do before you forget, little post its that are stuck up on yr wall - telling you to buy groceries, enrol online, send email for summer work, finish off yr assignment due, study for yr upcoming tests, appointment with lecturer and the list just goes on. i find that it is these reminders that keep my life functioning. else i will just forget what i must do before the deadline. or in other words, i will procrastinate more and just push everything to the back of my head like i don't need to attend to them.

i think the same goes to reminders that are meant to remind you....hmm...of how lucky you are in life. how blessed you are compared to those who are unfortunate. you are, in fact, one of the luckiest in the world. with no worries of whether i have food for today, tomorrow, the day after. or living yr life in fear. or needing to find shelter every now and then. you are blessed because you have a great loving family who cares and supports endlessly. you are even luckier than those others who aren't that unfortunate because you have awesome friends by your side.

but you don't always feel that blessed although you know you are. you rant, you complain, you whine, you wonder why the world is against you when it is not. that is when these reminders come into use. it just wakes you up from all the self pity that you were having. shakes you up and tells you, "hey there. stop complaining. its not gonna get anything done. why rant when you can enjoy and have a far better day?"

its always good to have these reminders once in awhile. tells you tmrw will be a sunny day after all (well probably not tmrw exactly with the weather now in palmie) but the sun always comes out of the rain.
