SECRET PRESENTS

At Christmas time, the art of giving can come into many forms, from sharing who you are, your time, your efforts and what you have to others to giving out presents. The art of sharing presents not only shows that you care about someone, but also lets that person know that you were thinking about them. This year I also learn that it is fun to give presents secretly. It is fun because you feel so excited and can not wait till the presents that you buy for someone to be opened. I also learn that because gifts and presents are meaningful, you might have to take the time into the whole process. After all, it dose not have to be stressful, because the spirit of Christmas is about sharing, and the thought is what that counts =].

XMAS BALL

I like crystal ball, especially the Christmas one with snow flake floating in it, it is like a small version of a scene that is captured in a classy crystal ball. Sometimes it can be really relaxing and fascinating to watch the snow flakes moving across the ball and it is like magic speaking. Sometimes I just want to live in the world inside the crystal ball because it is perfect, but at the same time, that perfect world is not as interesting as the world I live in because everything is the same and you can not make a difference out of it. After all, a crystal ball is what you see but not what you get, but it's still fascinating.

CANDY LIGHTS

Candy canes embrace the sweetness of Christmas and bring the joy of it to those who enjoy simple fun things. Christmas lights not only light up the Christmas spirit, but also add the glamorous scene to the people eyes. These two things are among the things that I love about Christmas time. They are just simple things yet made with such details and when they go together on your Christmas tree, what a tasteful and delighted treat it's gonna be =].

POLAR PLUNGE

 I can honestly say winter time is probably my most favorite season of the year. This is when the coldness in the air sweep against your face and you can feel the rush of refreshing against your skin. I think it's beautiful when the whiteness of nature spreads every where like a blanket. Yet it can get too cold sometimes and makes your mind feel frozen. Sometimes it can get so cold that someone's soul can go numb without feeling. But at the same time, the coldness could also be the time when someone retreat to their own world for a stable standing mind.

THANKSGIVING BARN

Thanksgiving is the day that we give thanks to everything and anything that we appreciate for. It's the time for family and friend reunion to look up at things that have happened so far and toast for a very good up coming year. The crops of Thanksgiving stand for the seeds and roots of fulfillness of food. Cooking at Thanksgiving is a long time tradition, food stands for life, they help us grow. Thanksgiving's cooking reminds us of how lucky we are to be able to obtain food everyday.

1000 STARS

This photo was inspired by the video music of Natalie Bassingthwaighte ~ 1000 Stars. Each one of us is a star, we have our own uniqueness and our own shine that nobody else can compare to. It is hard to find the light within on the dark night, but if you search deeply you will find it and let it shine. Even though we are individuals, but when we come together, we will be united as one and only one. And we all make up the entire universe with each of our uniqueness.

RISING MIGHT

 

In life, it's not easy to pick up yourself when you fall, it's even harder to rise above the ashes. From the bottom of a rock, to lift it up, it requires lots of strength. To overcome life is not an easy task, to overcome yourself is even harder. At the bottom of what you were stuck at, it takes lots of strength to rise yourself up from the unpleasant past. If you work hard, you will not only get out of the rough bottom but also rise up to the top, where you can find not only happiness, but who you are. Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart, but there is only one way, and it's UP! :)
