The weather's gone crazy

Vaguely remembers that the months of June and July are supposedly to be some of the hottest months in the year. Not that I am an environmentalist, or a tree-hugger, or an advocate of saving "mother earth". No, in fact, it's Father God that I more inclined to associate with. Nevertheless, I can't help but noticed that the weather these days seems to have gone crazy.

The fallen leaves and the uncomfortable wetness for this last few days brought remembrances to that cold autumn morning when I walked down the street in Ottawa. It felt like that fall, years ago in Canada, only that now, it's much wetter.... and perhaps much more depressed,.... Autumn had seem so romantic when you were young. The maple trees were painted colourful, red amidst the green and orange, but the fallen leaves along the pathway here were a distressed brown and the rustling as I strolled by were dulled.....

I guess the melancholy is due to the added years that went by too swiftly?

Update.....

How time flies. It's been more than a month since my last post. And also, alot had happened during this past month.

The last episode of health scare had somewhat passed...... looking back, it's kinda weird to be gripped by that unknown and unexplained bout of discomfort for almost 3 mths. First it was the period of elevated blood pressure and heart palpitations, then followed by a whole 2 mths of gastric bletching although there was little gastric pain. The bletching was bad, especially 2 hrs after food. In fact, it was so bad that it lead to aches across the chest area. But good to report, that the bletching has now subsided. It feels so good now, although the gas does build up occasionally, but it post no great worry now.

Some time back, a friend had asked for prayer support for someone she knew, who was diagnosed with liver cancer. In a certain way, I could empathise with what her friend would be going through, but to read the blog posted by her husband (http://jokwan.blogspot.com) on their struggle, their hope, their daily events..... I really don't know what words of encouragement or consolation I could write for them. I could only utter my prayers for them. Well, in a way, her friend's relief came. It was a Saturday morning, 26 Jun when I saw the obituary published in the papers....

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31

She have a new strength now, with the Lord.
