high above the clouds

there comes a time in your life when luck and fortune (combined with reality) seem to be just a stretch away. however tangible it may seem, good things are still hard to believe. you are just so afraid that it might just be one of those fleeting moments, you don't want to wake up because the reality might be the complete opposite of what you are presently dealing with.

i had my share of high-above-the-clouds experiences, and believe you me, good things do not only come just in twos but in bundles. my sister believes i'll make it big, (and so does my brother-in-law)...i didn't believe them though. my eldest brother was convinced that it was actually God's work that made me accomplish things in my life. he said that God didn't let me down. at one point, my mom earily asked me if i get the goosebumps as blessings come my way profusely.

as with many others, i get the goosebumps all over me everytime i get the nostalgia. i also have those share of doubts in my head, to a point where i even have to convince myself that reality is before me. i am not saying that i am an accomplished man. in fact, i am far from being that. at 29, i still haven't found that perfect girl to marry (or start a decent relationship to begin with).

maybe i'll be successful...just maybe. the many blessings that i have in my life are blessings because i consider them to be blessings. i do not yearn for more. it's a concsious effort to actually feel fortunate. one has to actually turn every event in your life as one that is high above the clouds. challenges will certainly come our way, but once we get past it, the feeling will be so great that we won't even remember that we were in that slump once in our life!
