a cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
proverbs 15:30 (NIV Bible)
mom said to me this morning, "put a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eyes".
she really lived out this maxim (ask angie. she can vouch for that!). looking at her sure brings joy to the heart and assurance for myself.
have been feeling under the weather for the past week. many things didn't work out well. for one, i flared up not long ago... and that was totally unlike me. very ugly. very not esther.
so for this week, God's joy has to rain on me! let me have a peaceable heart.
peace. create love not war.
things that make me happy
1) walking along the streets of bras basah/city hall all by myself on a breezy evening
2) heart-to-heart talks with my sisters at esplanade waterfront/somewhere at esplanade
3) afternoon teas and sweet treats with my dearest ny girlfriends
4) watching a funny episode of "my name is earl"
5) piping hot soups/broths on a cold day
6) finding treasures in second-hand bookstores at bras basah
7) a fun cycling trip with good friends
8) family gatherings (mom's side)
9) a good buffet spread (i can't take buffets nowadays but the sight of variety just excites me. don't give me that look please. i really have no idea why.)
10) pleasant surprises
i tell you, i can never ever finish naming what makes me happy. but that's all for now. perhaps i can make this a series... ha.
What to expect from here
