That's the amount of time that I have not entered anything into this blog. Newton's second law says that for an object that is moving, it is easier to keep it moving than to start an object moving from stationary state. These four months in a state of MIA (Missing In Action) verified this law easily.
To be honest, I do not know why I stopped writing. Busy at work would be a valid and acceptable reason for anyone that could be reading this to believe and accept (if there's even anyone that would visit this blog!). But my conscience came ahead to confess that this is not the truth.
Maybe it's more of a Blogger's Block that I have been going through. I set up this blog to share my shallow insights from small encounters in my humble life in the hope of bringing Light and Inner Clarity to myself and to others. It's not easy feat, I have found.
For one, it's not always easy to be able to see the brighter side of life. We might not be at ease to express our internal struggles to the world. But nasty people, sad happenings and encounters, low moments are part and parcel of everyone's life. Just that not everyone like to blog about such things.
Having said that, these four months was not any particular low moment for me (and I am thankful for that). Maybe I was just going through a switch-off mode where I went through and experience things accepting whatever I was experiencing. I did not try to see it in any divine or positive manner. I tried to accept whatever that came as it was. Be it black or white. Sweet or Sour.
The rain could upset one's plan for a long run, but one can choose another day to run or switch to weights training that could be done indoors. Let the rain rain.
A difficult customer could have called and made a big fuss even when one has tried his best. One can rise above the common Fight or Flight mode and choose one's response that is unattached to how the customer treats him and yet be firm and polite at the same time. Waste no energy in judging and concluding that the customer is being difficult.
......
It's not about passive acceptance. It's about responding with detachment.
It's been four months. But it feels good coming back.

Yay! I was just lamenting about some of my fav bloggers dropping off the blogging bandwgon and boy,it's good to see you again. I thought you got sick of reading my blog :-P
YAY welcome back! :) Yup we experience these "blocks" from time to time I guess. :)
Welcome back, Karen! :-))) I like your phrase "responding with detachment", though I haven't learnt too much of this...but hopefully in the working world I'll be able to learn this later on. :-))))
Ting,
You flatter my shallow blog :-). It felt kind of strange when I penned the first paragraph. Like an old engine finding difficulty in starting. But by the time I reached the third, :-) WaterLearner has come alive again!
Thanks for your patience.
Hallos Bobo!
It's good to see you. Realised that your blog has moved house too, in my absence :-)
Hallos Amel,
You are now officially working, right? Oh yah... I like your new hair cut.
