What's in store tomorrow?

We hear alot of people say "Tomorrow is another day" but in what sense? Tomorrow is a brand new day? Tomorrow is like any old day? Tomorrow will be a better day? I have to say nobody knows what tomorrow will bring and can only hope for a better one or equally good as today.

For a couple of years I have been spending my every day as they come and have no care in what the next day will bring. Everyday just became a routine for me, I had nothing to look forward to. Day in day out I just lived my life and seem to have lost the purpose in life. Or should I say I was completely lost and don't know where my life should go.

Soon after I moved back into town that I found the purpose in life again. It was to have a decent career to support the life I want, to embrace my personal life that I've lost touch with the years I worked overseas and mainly just to be content with myself. I'm glad to say I am truly happy where my life is at right now. I have a good job, recently bought a place with someone special that we can call our own and living in a beautiful city. What more can I ask for. Thank you for bringing me back to this city, thank you for guiding me into the right path, thank you for sending him into my life. Thank you. I look forward to what the future has to hold for me....

Happiness is.........

Happiness is when you can walk hand in hand with your loved one.

Happiness is when you can eat whatever you like without having to worry about your cholestorol, weight and any other little things we all seem to have.

Happiness is when you can still see the bright blue sky, picture perfect mountain views and calm deep blue sea with your eyes.

Happiness is when you are content with your life and make each day a better day than the one before.

Happiness is when you can live, love and laugh.

Enjoy each day, love yourself, love your family, love your beloved and love others.

To own or not to own

I read the chinese newspaper yesterday about the latest on our housing market. The article talks about how first time home purchase will be tougher and tougher for buyers and possibly a chance of not even being able to afford one with the market raising so rapidly in BC.

Then today on MSN, a survey came out telling us which Canadian cities have cheaper housing market which ones have the highest. Guess what, our BC province made the top 2, Vancouver being the no.1most expensive city to live in. If you want cheap houses you'll have to think about residing in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Should we be thrill that our market is so hot that it top the chart? With the speed of our market growth, what's going to happen to the next group of first time home buyers? I don't see a hugh increase on our salary but the property prices are sky-rocketing.

I remember when I first came to Vancouver back in the mid 80's, an average brand new Vancouver special(people lived here long enough should know what type of houses I'm talking about) cost approximately $180,000.00 to possibly mid $200,000.00. Then 20+ years later you tell me I can only buy half a condo with that price?? Does that mean the potential first time home buyers can possibly turn to rentals only if there's nothing out there they can afford? Or can we only make such big purchase with the help of either your better half, your family members or perhaps a group of friends?? People, better get with it or else you'll always be stuck in that old smelly basement. Now, that's not a very happy thought....

Did you smile today?

How often do you see a person smiling while walking down the street? Would you think they're kookoo if they do? Perhaps there's something good for them to smile about. Maybe their bf/gf just texted them a little love msg, they just got a raise at work or many more other reasons. Could it be because they are content with their lives?
Does someone really need a reason to smile and be happy with their lives? Living each day is already a blessing and is definitely something that should put a smile to our face. Imagine all the natural disasters, sickness, wars happening around us but yet we are still living each day, why shouldn't that be a blessing.
Starting tomorrow, smile and enjoy each day! You will see what a great life you have in your hands.

This is where it begins....

Here I am, my very first post on here. I'm a bit lost for words. Don't know what this blogging will take me but I know it will be something good and positive.

My feelings after the first entry.......

I think I'll have more to write about next time so tune in. Good night and sweet dreams Vancouver.
