been running after falling leaves but never did manage to catch any. they were all swirling and twirling in the wind...
but today is different. a beautiful brown leaf fell right into my palm. maybe this leaf was meant to be mine. happy :)
i wished that the child in me still believes that catching a falling leaf will make a wish come true.
currently reading a book "Half Empty Half Full" by Susan C. Vaughan. very interesting :) It's about how pessimists (like me :< ) can learn to see life in an optimistic point of view.
Term breaks never fail to make my mind wander...i m very amazed by the outrageous distance it can cover ~shudder~ hopefully i can get out of this mess with this self help book. battling with my mind is so tiring. i m getting on my own nerves...
something i learnt in the book is to overcome the negativity within myself. the writer compares these fears and negative thoughts to caged gorillas. Pessimists often imagine their own gorillas breaking loose and going on an attacking spree. how sad but true :/
One interesting part reads:
A woman dreams that she's being chased by a gorilla, and she runs in terror as the gorilla closes in. He gets closer and closer until finally the woman can feel his warm breath on her neck. "Well, now that you've caught me, what are you going to do with me?" the lady asks in a quavering voice. "i don't know, lady," replies the gorilla. "After all, this is your dream."
