like old oaks, or, as we get inevitably 'older' , we should make our roots stronger.
truly, our roots will be our foundation in the future!
yes, we still have a 'tomorrow'.
the fact is, at 45, we're in the limbo of our life where we should have, at least, realized our dreams AND at the same time, we visualize how we should live in the next stage of our life...thus i consider my roots as my basis for realization...
My roots ...
.... make me stay is a particular place. My FAMILY, my JOB, my SCHOOL, my FRIENDS .they primarily are the roots that make me decide to stay in this place .
as i dont want to shake its foundation and eventually be uprooted, i guard it with utmost care ...with all my heart.
but there are times that i feel like my life is getting monotonous , it seems that it has always been the same everyday ...thats when i feel so vulnerable.
thats when i feel that i like to uproot myself and grow in a different direction.
i just divert and look for other things that would ease the boredom somehow.
be it a retail therapy or change of scenery or a renewal of ties with an old friend.
...and of course a deeper faith.
but somehow it has always been my family that i get the support and affirmation i needed.
a sweet hug from my husband,
planted kisses on the cheeks from my kids,
a warm family dinner.
afterall,
my family is the root that keeps me firmly planted on the ground.
indeed, what makes my trunk big and strong...what makes my leaves greeener ...what makes me bloom into a lovely flowers and bear heaps of fruits ... its all because of my ROOTS.
