Rainy morning

it's been raining these past few days. mood was slightly dampened by the wet weather. looking at the mood face picture i printed, trying to find an adjective for my mood. can find only 2, frus and depress.

whenever things happen or most things will have 2 sides. Was thinking of the forest fires in Melbourne when i started this paragraph. In Australia, they were lamenting on the dry weather and trying to conserve water. They would love to have the weather we had for the past few days, downpour, non-stop for 3 days. only downpouring for a few days will bring some relief to the water supply shortage. Over here, some were lamenting on the inconveniences of rain, not getting to work on time, those without sheltered carpark have a problem of getting everyone into the car esp if u are carrying a baby, some (housewives, i think) will be lamenting that the laundry is wet and damp, no sun... well, the list goes on. i was careful not to complain out loud about the inconveniences of the rain when i thought of in other country, they would die for a rainfall to occur. reminded marcus and mabel also, how cooling the weather is these few days that they had to wear a jacket, something they do when they were in Perth last winter.

the other thing i wanted to share here was, found out a website. www.oshoworld.com some spiritual guy who believes in shedding your past, who believes in people should be able to do what they enjoy doing and not what others wanted them to do, who believes in meditation (there are a whole list of meditation techniques listed on this website). word of caution - he's a radical thinker, maybe some may feel that his thinking too extreme. he may say things like 'religion in itself is a mistake' if i remember correctly. that was the heading, eye-catching, but i didn't get to read the whole article. so for those who wants to read his articles, remember to keep an open mind and take it with a pinch of salt if u disagree with his thinking.

i read a few of his articles. after two articles, too heavy going for me. but i kind of like welcome his perspectives into issues. yah, that's how i approach his articles, to help me gain another perspective into issues.

ok, i guess i'll stop here. not advertising for his website, juz my thoughts for the day, oops, i mean morning.
