Fear and Faith

The uncertainty of life can be scary sometimes, but if you let the scariness of it control you, you are good as dead.

So you need to “keep calm and carry on.”

Crying or complaining may be therapeutic, but it uses up so much energy which can be used for doing more productive things.

So I choose to do more productive things rather than be paralyzed by fear of the unknown. My faith makes this doable.

I have faith to help me deal with life’s scary uncertainties. What do you have?

LAPC: Spring

I have not contributed to the LAPC for years, and I was reminded of it when I saw Soybend’s post linking to LAPC and decided to join the challenge again.

Perfect timing as spring symbolizes new life, and I feel that I am starting all over as I’ve retuned to China after being away for three years because of the pandemic.

And seeing so many different kinds of flowers on campus this spring gives me so much joy. Walking by the lake and hearing the chirping of the birds and seeing these flowers — I wish it will always stay this way.

These flowers can be found in different parts of the campus.

Zhonglun Park, Xiamen 
Fine cherry blossoms
Pretty and red, lovely spring 
Springing one to life.

I’ve been telling my husband that we’ve been living in Xiamen for years, but there are still many places we haven’t gone to see. So on Sunday we went to Zhonglun Park. Xiamen has a lot of parks; every district has at least one park and Zhonglun Park is just one of these parks in Huli.

As it was Sunday, the park was a little crowded. Many were taking photos of the cherry blossoms, while others were having a picnic on the wide lawn. We just took a couple of photos and then left. I would definitely go back on a weekday.

My old apartment building where I lived for 7 years. It has been renovated and looks a little different from what it was when I left it a few years ago.
Saw these flowers outside the building, and I just had to stop to take photos of these beauties.

Grateful and happy to be back in my second home, Jimei. 🌹💕

It’s been months since I last posted, and though there were so many things I wanted to write about, I just couldn’t find the time. Nor the right words.

I hope to update this blog again soon.

For now I’m sharing photos I took yesterday when I went out for an early morning walk on campus.

Yes, I’m back in China with my son. And after three years of being apart, we are finally reunited with my husband. 💕🙏

I hope to catch up on reading posts from blogs I follow. So, see you soon.
