Be Strong, Be Simple

It's funny how moods, the colors of the world, the noise of life, all of this can suddenly move, like still leaves stirred by a gust of wind. 

There are work things that I am behind on, having trouble getting them completed. And there are things in my heart and spirit that have begun to quiet my joy, instincts telling me to gather strength to help me through a tough period.  It's ok. This is just my life unfolding for me. 

But it seems that it is the sadness, rather that the joys, which in the end seems to fit the essence of my character. My character has some saddnes deeply rooted in me, that will be there forever.  But this sadness is one of the reasons I can experience such joy and happiness, such a love of life - it is how I know what happiness is. I will see this more clearly as I experience more things in my life. I know. So wishes will come from high in the clouds, floating through the air to reach me. 

Today, I had a taizhou lady who was very fashion sitting behind me. She took off her shoes and put her feet on the back of my seat. You know what? OMG, i was like stunned by the smell of her feet. Miserable experience.
