Sunday-shine

Well, my car’s been alright so far. I took it to Church this morning (40 miles round trip), and it’s been alright. Clayton Kershaw threw 7 shutout innings, the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Final against Denver Nuggets. Life indeed is great. I’m planning to go back to Los Angeles next 4 days weekend (Memorial Day). Who says it is a 4 day weekend? Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and 30 free days vacation out of the year. Well, that is the way it is in the Army. The Army is funny most of the time. On the other side, you may be deployed, far away from your loved ones for 15 months (at least it is not straight, and you don’t have to pay tax (unpatriotic)).

Talking about upside and downside, if you continue to always think about your downside, you probably will have a very miserable life. 99% of the people say that life is unfair. It is like the wind, it starts from the west and head to the east but eventually it would have to return to its origin. The same thing goes with the Water Hydrological cycle as well. The water from the river keeps pouring to the Ocean, but the Ocean is never full. Nothing is fair and nothing is unfair, but if you look at the big picture, the poor man and the rich man all come to the same place, which is the graveyard.

Life is indeed very beautiful. God bless.
