Easter - Count My Blessing

This year's Easter is indeed special to me. It's the first time I had a couple of days off as Easter is not considered a public holiday back in Malaysia. Not only I did not need to work, I had the opportunity to go for a short vacation. Sweet.

Instead of taking a flight, Tina (my colleague) and I travelled to Germany and Czech Republic via train. It may take a little longer but it was quite an experience. It's indeed a good way to admire the scenery, take a good rest and to have more time spent with your travel companion since you would probably spend hours staring out at the window, eating, sleeping or reading. Apart of time, it did give me time to reflect and count my blessings.

I may not be the luckiest person on Earth. Nor am I the unluckiest. Thus far, I am thankful that I am given the opportunity to meet great people and to grow as a person. Once being naive and gullible, I am fortunate that all the people I met in my first job are sincere to teach me, guide me and nurture me in any way they could. I could not thank my previous supervisor and manager(s) enough. Also, my lovely bunch of fun colleagues. They taught me a lot of things whether work wise or personal wise. I, now, may not have the luxury to be surrounded by your warmth (some of you) but I will not forget the good times we shared.

Though I cannot confidently say I am a much better person now, I did grow from what I was. I am not the kindest, sweetest, friendliest, noblest and the smartest person but I am touched that people around me treated me with much care and kindness. Thank you for accepting my weaknesses, thank you for offering advice when I needed one, thank you for listening to my endless rants, thank you for feeding me well, thank you for being there for me, thank you for your patience, thank you for your kindness. I reckon God sent all of you to me to fill up the gaps left by my weaknesses =D

The only way I could thank you is to continue to grow and strengthen my weaknesses.
