Random Musings

The last one week has been a pretty good week for a number of reasons.

In some ways it was definitely a week of tranquility, which I’m really thankful for.

Have been rediscovering some old songs so I’m quite pleased about that.

For the last two Sundays, I’ve been helping teach the kids in church a new song, which I think has been going really well, so I’m really thankful for that too.

Workload has been kinda madness the last one week. Need to hold the fort for just a bit more. Challenging but fun.

Have been lending a close ear to a good buddy of mine who has recently gone through some serious relationship issues.

I think that’s the thing about being buddies…you’re buddies for life.

At the end of the day, when she walks out the door, it’s your buddy that’s still going to be there when you need him, be it on the phone or meeting up for dinner just to hear you out.

I happened to hear this Michael Bolton song “That’s What Love Is All About” on the radio as I was driving home a few nights ago, and I thought the lyrics were quite meaningful:

“Baby, that’s what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the fire burning
It’s something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that’s what love is all about”

I guess the lyrics are self-explanatory. And quite realistic too.

Indeed, it takes two hearts to find a way, somehow, to work it out.

Met up with a pal over the week whom I’ve not caught up with for quite awhile.

I asked him nonchalantly if he had proposed yet and he said “yes” and I said “that’s great” without even missing a beat.

Then it dawned on me that we’ve reached an age whereby it’s no longer awkward to talk about getting engaged or married or even having kids.

Age has a way of creeping up on you.

Have been doing quite a big of jogging lately.

Nothing really serious, just easy relaxing jogs to West Coast Park, taking in the sights and sounds of the park late at night.

Mainly, I think jogging has offered me a good time to really be alone with myself, and just think through some of the issues that have been running (pun not intended) through my mind lately.

I like the fact that when I’m out jogging/walking for that hour or so, I can be totally absorbed in my thoughts.

It’s quite a liberating experience, cos I think I have quite a lot to think about these few days.
