Dear friends,
I'm so very deeply moved by your warm care, which, in this pale winter afternoon, is piercing my heart like a bunch of bright sunlight, that I could hardly say anything to express my great appreciation for your kindness. All I can say for the time being is only one simple word----thanks!
I'm now feeling much better, really; anyway, everything will pass by--happiness or pain. Sometimes physical pains can be much easier to undergo than spiritual ones. The former cannot destroy our lives—as long as it’s not fatal—but the latter may. I'm glad that when my body is desperately down my spirit can still stretch out to help it up, whereas if my spirit is down my body may do nothing to change the condition. So, perhaps it's even a big luck to be only physically weak for a limited time rather than spiritually weak. It’s true that in my view， an enormous spiritual weakness can be a disaster.
Generally I'm a happy person, and I embrace life very enthusiastically. So, don't worry about me. I have enough will power to make everything in control, even the feelings of physical pain.
I dare say that many pains, physically or mentally suffered by me, shaped me into such a happy person. It's not ridiculous at all; it's true, for all pains I’ve ever suffered let me know how valuable it is to live without pains, so that I can cherish each peaceful, or even dull, day as if it is a special gift from God. Whenever I do so, I am blessed with more joyfulness.
Life is always a choice between feeling happy and feeling sad. So long as I haven't lost control of myself I'll always consciously choose the former. It may not be that easy to drift upstream, though, which, as we always know, will consume lots of physical as well as spiritual strengths. But once we succeed in climbing up a wild tide, both our physical and spiritual bodies can be built up, which may enable us to face tougher challenges and to overcome bigger difficulties with more ease and confidence.
What I intended to say is that, we get stronger after each time we go through pains, which in turn may reward us more strength to to stay happy when in pain.
I'm now very delighted, because I know that I'm strong enough to stand by happiness even when feeling miserable.
Unless confronting the prospect of losing both sound mind and healthy body, I think I have no reason or desire to be conquered by some physical discomfort. So, I choose to be happy now, and hopefully—forever.
I'm eager to see the smiling of life, so life smiles at me.
I'm eager to be happy, so pains could never reign me.
May you always be happy, too! :)))
Thanks again for all your kind blessings! I love your postings and I am very grateful for everything you’ve done for me! It’s your care that made me happy and raised me up. Thank you all!
Now I'm smiling...... :)) God bless you! –kitty
