I remember once with my girls we read about other’s culture, and there’s one African / Asian culture that instead asking,”how are you?”, they would ask,”what is new with you?” My bad memory…:(
Last week 2 people asked me these sort questions, and I don’t think I gave them a lot “exciting” things. 🙂 Life is pretty much standard on the surface for me. Just to name the routine: eat, work (a lot IT stuff which some people would shut down if I explain the details), spent times with my girls, sent my wife to doctor appointments, updating our parents and checking on them, meet up with friends / new people (online & in person), bit of gardening each day (watering, cutting out sick plants, pulling out weeds, composting), spending time with the Lord and my wife, and lastly sleep.
I guess some people live for excitement (I confess I used to look for exciting stuff in my younger days), and some people need excitements in their life to boost them up (I also need some dose of excitements / things to look forward), and some people “exciting” things just happened around them. Again what is exciting to one person may not be exciting to another person.
So what excites me these days? There are many. But here few things that I give thanks to God for: if my parents are alive & healthy, my wife excel and up in health, my girls have a right attitude, i am healthy and able to do things, others who’re excelling and done great and good things.
I guess life is always exciting if lived before the presence of God.
