Blessing from Open Diary

There was an unexpected email from Open Diary informing me that I kept some old diary entries on its archive that need to be reclaimed for reading. Indeed, the memory of writing on Open Diary has completely been lost.  A series of questions popped up in a split second – have I written something on it? What exactly did I record there?

I am blessed that I received this email from Open Diary 15 years after I abandoned it. I am blessed that I have had a second chance to review how my life was like and how terrible my English was 15 years ago.

Time flies and it waits for nobody. Life in 2005 seems like it happened yesterday. What I am having now – my wife, my daughter, my house (two in exact), my family and my job (not career, unfortunately) – have offered me a totally different life but I am too ashamed to say the blessings that have long embraced me have always been taken for granted. They were not even seen, noticed and appreciated. I was actually blessed 15 years ago (and even earlier ) though life sucked. I am blessed now to have been reminded of my past life.  My blessings have never left me alone and I am truly blessed.

The forgotten blessings have rendered me a lost direction in life. I should learn how my blessings from everything I own and encounter lead me a more positive life. After all, life is short and once it is lost, it will be gone forever. I have walked through the first half of my life. In the beginning of my second half, I am starting to look for other meanings in life. If I had accepted blessings from my grandmother, I would have treated her much better.

Thanks God. I have got the best you have prepared for me. I need to learn this word ‘blessing’ for the rest of my life and learn to be humble, positive and empathetic.
