Flowers

My late Auntie Hana said flowers cheered up a room

She used to have a lot of artificial ones at her home

I believe you have unimaginably beautiful flowers

A Place of My Own

These days I have been starting to seriously doing my old hobby
Before I got married I was a segment producer/ scriptwriter
I loved to combine images and writings to make a simple stories

I think it's time to start doing it again
In different methods
Blogging is one of them...
So.. last weekend I set a place of my own in the basement

a place for crafting, writing, drawing and meditating

Beige Food

" Looks like you're gaining weights these days, " said a colleague to my husband

So today, I cooked light , simple food
Napa cabbage, mushrooms, tofu
a little chicken and scallion in homemade chicken broth
with a bowl of steamed brown rice

They looked beige with a little green scattered here and there
I hope the taste would not be as boring as they looked

My kids will eat pasta with store bought alfredo sauce
and breaded baked chicken
Rather simple but heavy
I think it will take some time for them to enjoy the plain food

Because He Was a Hotty

Because he was a hotty, smarty, and lovey,
an older married woman desired him
because he wanted to stay pure
he was thrown to jail

Because he was a goodie
he did not wallow in self pity or plan revenge
because he was faithful
he was productive at home , in prison, or in the palace

Because he knew that God was ( and is and is to come ) good
He could say to the people who had hurt him
" You meant evil against me but God meant it for good "

His name was Joseph
He is my HERO today
