Room for improvement

When was the last time you started something new?

I got hit by that question, and I have to confess that I can’t answer it right away. I had another kind of similar question, especially during New Year ... What is your plan for this year?

For me, unfortunately, that type of question would lead to the same answer as well.

And this is my answer few days ago: No plan..Nothing new..Same old Same old.

Sound like a looser alright? Well... I have to thank you for people who asked me that question because it made me want to see myself doing something new, something fresh and something that will be good for me.

Sometime we know for sure, that there are things that we need to stop, quit or improve. Those things become one part of your life like the Cholesterol in your blood vain. Hard to see but you know it is inside there somewhere. And you would know exactly when someone technically tell you.

I like the word that my friend said that he need “room for improvement” and I told him I am sure everybody does have room for improvement but it depends on if they would realize of the existing of that room and the question for them is ... Would they open the room for improvement or not?

Before I would let myself got stunned by those type of question again then I decided that this year I will organize my life in many ways and start something new for example...Changing shop and restaurant every time I have dinner with a friend...Write down every penny that I earn or spend...Make a list of the movie I see and the book I read...Make a trip to somewhere I never been. And as you can see that I started to write a blog again :)

Now if I got the question about this year plan or start something new again I am sure I can talk about my plan and thing that I am going to do for hour :)

And what about you ... Are you ready to start something new?

The afternoon tea at Au Bon Pain

I am sitting here at the Au Bon Pain and observing people through the glass wall.
Relaxing and trying to be at ease as much as I can while I am writing this.

One cute young couple were sitting and enjoying coffee form the white steamy mugs. The cloud of the coffee mixed with their perfect white teeth laughing made this whole shop seem to getting brighter even in the very bright sunny day like this. From the way they look at each other, the way they talk ... and the way the laugh. It was not difficult at all to tell that ... they are in love :)

But that still can’t compare with this old couple. I can’t stop smiling when I saw the old gentleman, who went to get the hot water for lady and pour her tea and she tear a small sugar bag in his tea without asking how much he want. ...It was just a glimmer of care that was showing but I can see that is real.

They feel comfortable with each other like the couple who live together for long time should be. Time bonds them together. They must of gone through a lot of things in life together, and of course must had some hard time. No doubt but at least now they are here showing love and care to each other.

This is what many people would like to see and would like to be, and with no exception... Me too :)

I still keep smiling about what I just saw ... even those couple was gone somewhere already. But the love is still in the air :)
