Self Contentment..

With a recent price hike in fuel and other necessities food items, one can't help to feel dejected and depressed in facing the forthcoming difficult times ahead. Especially for low income earner, this is much felt intensely coupled with many small mouths to feed.

Gone were the days where during our forefather days where everyone is enjoying some luxuries and everyone is talking about quality life. Is it still possible to talk about quality of life when the mind is obsessed in generating more revenue to let our family still live comfortably?

I have always dreamt of making big, have a sucessful career with perfect family life driving luxurious cars and staying in high class residential areas. Hence it was really a big and non expected decision that I have made to give up everything to stay home for my children. Really, looking back, I have not a single regrets on the decision made 4 years ago and how blessed am I to have the priviledge to be with my children 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, 12 months a year and for as long as my children needed me.

Despite I have occassionally struggled my innermost desire to earn a career with my children, but when I cast upon to God, it is a very clearly defined fact that nothing can buy back the loss time when you do not think wisely. Afterall, everyone had their childhood once but how many can proudly boast that childhood is their most memorable and sweetest memories??

Hence I have learnt to be self contented with what God has provided in hope that my "sacrifice" is worth for my children to boast to their friends one day that these are the days that they valued the most.
