hello world

been a while...

we go through so many phases of life..mine's cluttered with ornaments and memories, to the point where i say, enough is enough.. no more ornaments..let's go zen. the more i collect, the more i have to spend for storage space.

but now that the collection stops, a vacuum seems to build... so maybe we'll start again huh.

watch 9/11 on History channel, what a tragedy.. then saw an image of what it is today.. just about sums up life .. glory one day, flat the next.. with many many memories in between.

i was musing with a friend the other day. there was a time the house was full of life, children running around, screaming and yelling from mumsy, kids playing and chatting. today, it's all but quiet. kids grown up, leading their own lives, and not wanting much to do with parents, by the looks of it, both will probably live in different continents far away from mum. and so the old adage, birds that fly the coup once adult..

so i had better re-build my own life now..it's a good feeling to be free of motherhood but am i really free... i don't think so, once a mother always a mother, i will always worry about them wherever they are, always will think and wonder about them even if they are busy with their own lives. but i suppose i can do whatever i please with my time, without worrying about their meals and bedtime, although i worry about the company they keep and the choices they make..

ah well, c'est la vie!
