Elated

Have not updated in a long while.  But since I have an unplanned four hour break I thought I might as well put thoughts onto paper, or in this case, onto text.  Haha!

I felt very happy last night.  The feeling of elation, the moments where everything seemed so nice, so peaceful and 'as it should be'.  It is hard to describe, but I'll try and break it down.  Hmm... where do I start though?  Lol!  Ermm... ok, dunno how to say this without sounding like I'm bragging, so I shall stay as level-headed as possible.

I had a reaaaaally nice dinner last night.  It was not just a run of the mill eating out dinner, but a home cooked meal.  The menu had what I like in it too: chicken (protein), egg (protein), tom yum (spicy), pork ribs (protein + fat) and later some home baked chocolate dessert too.  I'm not one for dessert usually, but boy was I taken in by the food presented to me.  Seeing the production process I could appreciate the amount of effort put into the meal.  It was not easy.  I think I would have been all flustered or struggled a bit.  Haha!

Each spoonful I had I ate with a smile which resulted in a funny looking face each time I chewed.  Haha!  I truly appreciated everything.  Helping wash up was the very least I could do in response to such kindness.  Immediately after dinner there was some musical performances too.  I enjoyed the music very much and whilst listening I was very impressed inside.  Wow!!  I was invited up to play some piano as well.  Was made a piano partner in a very simple piece but very nice.  Ok, my part was very simple, though I struggled to get my head around how to do it for the first five minutes, but once I got the hang of it, everything seemed to flow.  I am a slow learner you see.  I may take several shots at something before fully getting the hang of it.  But once I do, I stick to it and become better at it.  I think my personality is like that of a train - slow start up but with a very powerful drive afterwards.  Boom!!!  =P

Anyhow, those moments playing the piano, absorbing the air, listening to the music, laughing, smiling, focussing, making mistakes, starting again, laughing, making another mistake, finally getting it right... all seemed very very nice.  Hard to describe in words, but I think the word to use would be elation.  Yes, I felt elated.  I could just stay in that moment forever I think.  Haha!

All good things come from God.  God blesses us in so many different ways.  I truly felt blessed and I made that known to God at the end of the night.  These opportunities do not come by often, but when they do, I have to show appreciation to God and I have to give thanks to Him.  If it is His will, He will give other blessings to me too :)
