Good News, Colors in One's Life

Good news add colors to one's life. Good news is meant to be shared, the joy it brings is to be shared and the ripples of such joy spread outward to touch those who are open to joyous news.

My younger sister will soon have another grandchild to welcome into her family

and our extended family are looking forward to the newcomer who will make his or her debut just before Christmas.

The younger generation is growing not only in number but also growing up very quickly. My niece's daughter will be entering elementary school next year while my granddaughter will be entering high school. It didn't seem that long ago that I carried her home from the UK when she was just two months old.

Time really flies! The little girl whom I rarely saw as she was a whole sea away on the mainland ( we're on Borneo Island )will be getting married in two months' time. My brother's daughter will be a radiant bride come October.

Early next year there will be another wedding too as my youngest brother gives his daughter away in marriage to the young man with whom she will share her life. In fact, there will be two weddings next year. All the little girls have grown up and will be starting the next chapter in their lives as young married women looking forward to building their own families.

Of the five dragons in our family clan, all the three girls have their own children. Only the two boys have yet to get a visit from the stork.

Here's hoping that the stork is flying close and that there will be more good news coming our way. It will be wonderful to have baby dragons making their debut as next year will be the Year of the Dragon.
