Life’s full of cloudy days, but there’ll still be blue sky after the rain.

    You are so right there… Once the material world get the better of us, we will tend to forget the most precious and yet free things in our lives… Therefore I tend to routine myself every Saturday to look out my window for 10 minutes. This certainly soothes me and make my day…
