The past year, I have been receiving tons of gifts from friends.
It can be as small as a candy or cookie, but what matter is, the love, caring, appreciation and being recognized even it just a "thank you or warm greeting".
In the soon coming new year, I pray God help me to give love more, include the unlovable.

People
Sometime in December, talked to a senior friend and found that she enjoys reading People magazine. She always walks to a nearby bookstore to read it.
11/29/2018 redeemed my recycling bank account for one year subscription of People magazine.
12/29/2018 received the first issue of the magazine.
12/30/2018 finished reading my first issue, though, I didn't really appreciate it. But thought about I could have something to share with my friend or maybe cheer her up a bit, it's worthy already.
And my English will improve via reading it, it's a win-win situation.
12/31/2018 going to show her and share the magazine with her.

GoPro
I don't know if the GoPro, the best tool to create a perfect video.
And believe it or not, I, do, actually, thinking about to make a Vlogging for some time.
Maybe it's a mission impossible, it may or may not come true, at least, I have a thought about it, we will see.
Do you have a bucket list or a dream or dreams that you want to fulfill?
If you don't have one yet, then make one, if you do have one, then make them come true, before it's too late.
Time flies, and life is too short to waste.
Even it's just a small dream, or, you may not accomplished 100% of it, at any rate, you try.

who? me?
Second time this year, this time it happened at Souplantation, I've been asked, "one senior discount?"
"Yeah! If only you don't need to see my ID!", answered silently inside my heart!
"Yeah! If only you don't need to see my ID!", answered silently inside my heart!
To do list
Finally, I remembered bringing my bible and sheet music to my visiting of my dear senior friends at rehabilitation center the first time.
I am half way of it, for this time I didn't get the chance to flip open the bible and read to them.

encouragement
As, I, consider myself, a good listener.
At times, I tried to encourage or praise whom I listened to.
I am truly hoping that the words from my mouth really have some good impact for their lives.
And what surprises me, is, that, when in times of my own down times, complaining others, worrisome, anger, fears or any other negative emotion feelings.
My own words came back and reminded myself that how positively that I talked others into it.
Isn't that wonderful and amazing?

Even When It Hurts
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Hillsong - Even When It Hurts (Praise Song) [Legenda Inglês e Português]
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IWKGWuZXVdk
Yesterday there was a hurt on my right armpit and shoulder, it went on and off, and then we had to do some shopping and had luner (lunch + dinner).
When we got home my pain got worse and it wouldn't go away, I thought about this song again and prayed really hard for myself and my younger son who went out with his friend and her family to observe the Christmas Light in Riverside.
Praying for their safety and enjoyment, and, another song came into my mind.
And holds it in her (their) heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her (them) where you are
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

2018 clean up
Just did a huge clean up for the contacts in my email, finally.
This is one of my to do list from long time ago.
We just need to do it one at a time, and remember it'll probably never end, until, the day to come.

Parent
Parenting; a never-ending journey of learning experience.
Every moment new situations occur, sometimes, you just don't know how to react.
Mixed feelings, like, when your kid goes out a lot with a friend and her family.
You are happy for him has a good relationship with others, you also feel, kind of lost.

sickness vs patient
Sad to say that in almost all the cases that both of the healthcare system and the doctors are treating the sickness not the people.
They will try everything, every way to resuscitate, prolong the patient's life. Even, the patient may need to lose a limb, eyesight, hearing, or in some cases the patient won't be to feed themselves in the natural way, or breath on their own etc.
Which is nothing very wrong with it.
But if someone has to live the rest of their lives, relying on others' help, on Intensive Care Unit Equipment, like breathing machine, nasogastric tube, urinary catheter, or feces catheter and so on.
Or lose the function of talking, seeing, hearing, thinking, walking and the like.
They are fed, cleaned and cared.
I mean what about the patients' own will, dignity, or quality of their lives.
It is a suffering to see someone, especially, your love one to kind of alive like so.

trauma
Recalling back my life, there were lots of pain and hurts, most of them, I just simply keep them to myself, the people that harm me may or may not know it.
For I cannot say, won’t say, don't want to say, afraid to say, ashamed to say them out loud.
I don't have Post traumatic stress disorder that is not merely luck.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
I may not be a prophet of the nation, but I know He has a plan for me.
God is my friend, Father, protester, comforter, stronghold, power, healer, savior, counselor and everything that I need.

Writing skill
Hoping that my English will improve both in speaking and writing.
So I would be able to write more stories about myself and my elderly friends.
I have too many drafts of my blog, need to finish them as much as I can.
Also may the Lord open the heart of my younger one, and receive the Lord as his personal savior, as he soon will go into another stage of his life.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

B: I Enjoying gardening, and I can still tough and smell them, also for a friend like you can enjoy them.

At work, if there's a coworker take vacation and I have to cover his or her part as much as I can take within my working hour, it's additional works add upon my own duties.
In the beginning, I am kind of complaining inside my heart and sometimes feel frustrated about extra business.
But in the end, I do enjoy it.

Black Friday
Mom: You two should buy new shoes.
Both of them: Nope!
Mom: But your shoe sole is all smoothed and your shoe has a hole.
Both of them: Nah, don't need it.
Mom: Okay!
Days after, one raining day, my older one came home and said to me, "I think this Saturday we should go buy new shoe, I almost slipped today". "Told you", said I.
Then I turned to my younger one. How about you, need to buy a new shoe too? "I guess so", said he.

In the dark
Sometimes I go to restroom, brush teeth, change clothes, eat and etc. in the dark purposely.
Of course, this will save me some money and the light won't break easily.
Mostly, I want to feel what they feel, people who cannot see, especially who were not born blind.
Once in a while, I see people walking alone in the public with a blind walking stick, I have the urge to run to them and walk with them.
But I never, first of all, I don't want to scare them and also I found that they seem amazingly confident.

Dream
I just woke up from a weird dream. In the dream I was attending a company event where I was pulled out to have a conversation with my boss and her friend. Then I was suddenly was in the restroom and was about to use the restroom, I found that there was a gentleman talking. At first I thought he was talking to me and I wondered where in the world this man came from. I realized that he was having the conversation with two other ladies before they left. Just about when I was getting ready to use the restroom again, I saw two other ladies, one of which I knew. that was when I realized that there was a second door in the restroom. So I quickly shooed them out of the restroom and locked the door. Suddenly I spotted a little kid still in the restroom laughing at me. I tried to shoo him out while I was opening the door to get the kid outside, the lady that was in the restroom earlier, the one that I knew, came in and made fun of me. I had to shoo her out once again. Finally when the restroom was all clear and I was ready to use the restroom, I woke up.
I smashed two cockroaches, one big and one small, and then used the restroom. The end.
I wondered that mysterious dream, my brain was trying to wake me up from using the restroom in the dream.

Phone
If I contact with you through email or text instead of calling you, meaning either I am too busy to make a phone call or, I DON'T REALLY WANT TALK TO YOU, but I do have something need to inform you!
Did I make myself clear to you!?
But there are some exceptions, some people are so busy that the only way to get connection with them is email or text.

Today, while I was driving to work, hardly cars on the road, felt like that I can shot my eyes and drive.

Norms Restaurants
This was the 2nd time since last time years ago.
The salad and the soup come with the meal is good, but the 1/2 pound New York steak is kind of dry and hard to chew.
I like the design and inside settings are nice, if there is a chance we go again, I will order something else besides steak.

Oh to think where I would be
If not for you
If not for you
Life is full adventures, life is full of surprises, life is full of ups and downs.
Sometimes you just cannot find someone or don't even want to talk to any human being at all.
The Lord Jesus is my friend, my counselor, my savior, my comforter, my healer, my stronghold, He is my everything.
If not for You, I don't know where I would be now.
You've been so so good to me
You've been so so good to me

Still
There is a particular song that I want to share with you. I'm going to read the lyrics to you first.
I want to say hat how lucky and precious and thankful that I have our God along with my personal life.
Years ago when my kids were still little, I decided to take them to some National Parks nearby, Channel Islands National Park, is on my list, it is in Southern California.
And it is an island, therefore, we have to take a boat trip to this national park.
Unfortunate that the day I pick was not a sunny day, it was cloudy and later it rained, the wave was bigger that the captain decided that we won't be able to landing the island.
During the voyage, my older son was too sea sick and he was lying on the deck fast asleep.
My younger son sat right beside me to my left, my left arm was clinging tightly on the guardrails with my right arm holding on him.
That's when this song, still, came into my mind, I sang it over and over again until finally the sea was calm.
Later one day when I heard this song again when someone was leading worship with this song at my fellowship retreat, I was tearing uncontrollably, then I realized, God was not not surrounded us securely on that boat trip day, He was telling me, I was forgiven at that very moment when I called upon His name.
For I felt guilty and blamed myself to put my young kids in danger on that boat trip.
God is my savior, I truly hope that is yours too!
P.S. Our boat was encircled with dolphins on the boat trip back to shore.

Hide me now
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hand
Cover me
Within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

If you don't want or don't know or for any other reason you don't care and love yourself?
How in the world that you will and can love and take care of your loved ones?
And if you don't know or feel that someone is always love and be there for you unconditionally, you will never be able to give love.
Trust me then your career will come to you naturally.
Once a mom was complaining that her son won't care about her anymore.
"Oh! Since he has his own family, he ran away from my life."
Knowing that you have been raising your kid right, he is not just can take care of his own life, he is capable of taking good care of others now!

Trust me then your career will come to you naturally.
Once a mom was complaining that her son won't care about her anymore.
"Oh! Since he has his own family, he ran away from my life."
Knowing that you have been raising your kid right, he is not just can take care of his own life, he is capable of taking good care of others now!

heartbreak 心痛的感覺
That's how I feel sometimes, when you have teenager(s) around.
Teenage Rebellion, start from around 14 ends until their brains are fully developed psychosocially by age 25.
If you have two kids and their age is 6 years apart, that means you will face the Teenage Rebellion one after the other, with some overlapping period and if you had your first born at age 30 then you will have your own Menopause Symptoms to add on this tough span.
This Friday when I rushed out to watch the marching band which my younger one is part of it parading to the moors field which is right behind where we live and only found that I just miss it, he didn't even bother to inform me ahead for this particular event, though it happened yearly.
Right at that moment I felt like I had been abandoned, isolated, forgotten, betrayed and my own kid don't even want or need me being part of his life.
As I tried to walk back home disappointed, on the way, I saw a young mom holding on her cute little boy, that's when I cannot hold my tears anymore, all my memory brought me back to when my boys were little.
They are the most adorable kids, they are my whole world.
We talked, we read, we walked, we laughed, we did everything together.
I totally understand and respect this Teenage Rebellion is just part of the growing up, but I'm merely a human being. Thank God for fighting every battle with me!
Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

How's this dinner sound to you, rib with veg, garlic bread, chocolate oatmeal cake and strawberry banana smoothie and most of all, it's all homemade.
Pomegranate
A lady at the supermarket while she was shopping for pomegranate and she said " oh my, so ugly, uglier than me, I'm not gong to buy any! (醜死了，比我還醜，不買了!) "。

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Computer
I finally realize why some people rather playing computer games than having conversations with anyone.
In my case I write my blog.

Yes! I remember!
Lauren Daigle ~ Remember (Lyrics)
[Verse 1] In the darkest hour when I cannot breathe Fear is on my chest, the weight of the world on me Everything is crashing down, everything I had known When I wonder if I'm all alone [Chorus] I remember, I remember You have always been faithful to me I remember, I remember Even when my own eyes could not see You were there, always there [Verse 2] I will lift my eyes even in the pain Above all the lies, I know You can make a way I have seen giants fall, I have seen mountains move I have seen waters part, because of You [Chorus] I remember I remember You have always been faithful to me I remember I remember Even when my own eyes could not see You were there, always there [Bridge] I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about Your goodness goodness I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about Your goodness goodness I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about Your goodness goodness I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about I can't stop thinking about Your goodness goodness [Chorus] I remember I remember You have always been faithful to me I remember I remember Even when my own eyes could not see You were there, always there with me

watermelon slush
Cut open a watermelon and only find it is overripe.
Don't panic! Scoop out all the flesh and then freeze it, perfect for making the watermelon slush later, especially for the hot day.

Doctor
Someone walked by my office right at the moment that I clicked on her file.
Thought about someone and then boom, she is right in front of me.
Checking on the doctor's information for one of the senior friends and found that this doctor is my Facebook friend when I got home.

You won't believe it!
Yesterday one of my senior friends, Li, gave me a box of rice crispy cereal and then I thought that I should make some rice crispy bar with it.
So I google for a recipe for the bar, but in the end, I decided it not to, "too complicated and too tired to make it".
Today, another my senior friend, Kwok, shared something she made to me
I didn't get to check what was it, until I came home and opened it, "oh! my God!".
You probably know what was it, it is rice crispy bars!

Radish Flower
Beautiful things that you can find everywhere, if you look closely.
And this rose look much like in one video that I watched the other day; teaching how to use radish and cucumber to make pretty and edible roses.
To K
A wonderful sermon today, I'm so touched by your preaching every time, especially today's.
Therefore, I decided to write this appreciation letter not just to encourage you, but thank you at the same time.
The reason why I wait this long to write this letter, is, because, when the first time I heard your preaching and I talked to my older son about how I felt and enjoyed your preaching and I should let you know, but he said, "no, she is already nervous enough and she didn't even like preaching in the public", so I back off.
But today, I just have to ignore his concern.
I pray Gd to give me some wisdom words and not to give you any burden of what I have to write to you.
Besides the content that you preach, the way how you present, including your voice tone and such is how I like about it.
The only thing that I have to say about your preaching is, it's too short, but what can I say, our attention span is short.
After all, what matter is the message that you trying to present not the length.
Lastly, please forgive my broken English.

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, Yours is the victory, whoa!
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, Yours is the victory, whoa!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh God, You are my living hope
Oh God, You are my living hope
森七七
Sad to recall that years ago I decided that I didn't need one of a cross-body bag that my mom gave it to me and donated it.
Now all the purse that I have is either big or too small.
I want my old purse back!
Now all the purse that I have is either big or too small.

I traded health for taste
2 ¾ cups wheat flour
2 ¾ cups oatmeal
1 1/2 cup milk powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
Gold rule; always remember mix all the dry ingredients real well before adding in the wet ingredients.
Drink for yourself
To drink unsweetened sparkling water with or without ice, the taste, is completely different.
It tastes much better with ice, you have to drink for yourself to know.

Steam eggs
I steamed eggs with Half & half and pinch of salt to taste.
It tastes so good, creamy and smooth, like egg pudding.

safe enviroment
One day when I'm trying to unlock my car and drive to work, I found that I forget to lock the driver side door the day before.
Then the very same day, after work, I found that I didn't lock the passenger side door before I went into the office.
What a coincidence, but my point is, my car is totally fine, I think, it's either because both the city that I live and the area that I work is very safe or is it because my car is so old that no one is interested in it?

direction
Scene 1:
Years ago, when I came to church with my two young sons the first time.
After parked the car and walked across the street and not so sure that I was going in the right direction toward the church, so I asked a guy on the way, "is this the way to the church?", "yes", he answered, then he walked away.
Maybe I was thinking too much that he should have known by this question that we were newcomers, shouldn't he say something more to us like, "first time to come to our church, welcome and follow me."
Scene 2:
This morning I was helping someone to put a dish in the office for someone else to pick up when he arrived church, and on my way to the office, I found that some of the dish must spill over, when I got to the office, I described the whole story to a gentleman there.
"Then you need paper towels underneath the dish", he said.
I thought he'll get up and put some paper towels on the desk for me, again, I thought too much.
I put the dish on the floor first, then got some paper towels placed them on a desk, picked up the dish, put it on the desk, and then mopped the floor.
And you won't believe that those two are exactly the same guy.
