After almost coming short of 70 days to mark my one year existence in the bloggy world, I realised that there are only a few entries of mine which exemplify my frustrations, poignant, anger. Apart from that there are many entries potraying my exuberance, joy and happiness.

Let the truth be told, I do not fabricate those happy things. Due to that, I may come across as someone who is sad-free, angerless - a hypocrite, a fake. This is not true either. I am afterall a human with many weaknesses. At times I may write entries which you may find inconsequential, irrelevant. Well, it may be of no importance to you but not to me or I would not have penned it down in the 1st place. This is what blogging is all about.
I guess the reason is I always expect to see that rainbow at the end of the tunnel. That silver lining behind the clouded sky.
The goodness that is promised upon me if I persevere and hold on little longer than I normally would.
I perceive the glass half full, not half empty
I believe in the Giver of all things, the generous Bestower, Opener of All Ways, the All-Knowing

Bottomline, I loathe drowning in sadness. I abhor looking in the mirror only to be greeted by this pathetic loser's face.
So I choose to be happy. Yes, it is a matter of choice. Don't get me wrong. Sadness in itself brings about many revelations and benefits to a person.
When we are sad, suddenly He comes to our mind.
There's a saying that goes, "IT IS EASIER TO REMEMBER AND UTTER HIS GLORIOUS NAME IN TIMES OF HARDSHIP AND SADNESS BUT HE IS ALWAYS FORGOTTEN WHEN IN TIMES OF HAPPINESS. WHEN IN FACT DOES HE NOT THE ONE WHO BESTOWS THOSE GIFTS AND REWARDS UPON YOU?" Thus, HE 'rewards' upon us hardship and sorrow so that we always remember HIM, seek HIS protection when we are joyous and thereafter.

That is why ;

when I am sad, I am thankful and happy

when I am happy, I am very thankful and extremely happy.
