Goooood morning, and welcome to another edition of I Love You Bilirubin...coming to you exclusively from the 7W penthouse suite at Scripps Hospital, La Jolla.
It's day 7 since I checked into the hospital/resort and the natives seem to have taken a liking to me, even changed my room from a simple peasant's living quarters to the presidential suite...this place is actually bigger than my first studio apartment and has a great view of La Jolla - not a bad life, eh... :-)
So I'm sitting here quietly this morning watching the ITA vs NZL World Cup match while the sun is starting to kiss the horizon outside and RN is fast asleep on the couch (probably dreaming of writing her To Do List for today, haha)...and I'm feeling inspired to write about a divine lesson I've come to learn throughout the years and now experience more than ever through my past few weeks of healing - the lesson of rolling with the punches...
Muhammad Ali once said "flow like a butterfly - sting like a bee"...and the more I think about this statement, the more it makes sense to me...you have to live your life in constant flexibility - and at times do nothing and leave nothing undone!
Although many of us have the illusion of control in life, chances are we're just seeing things through our cloak of invincibility and somewhat blinded by the fact that we only have control over what we ourselves do at 'this' very moment...This is where the philosophy of rolling with the punches comes in and is more important to me, than ever!
In moments of flux the most important thing for me is to remember 2 things
1) Keep rolling with the punches
2) Don't forget to breathe
And of course never forget that god's in charge - so just relax and enjoy yourself, life's too fun and important and we should enjoy every moment of it - so enjoy...and of course I love you Bilirubin!
ps - Bilirubin count is at 4.4 today!!!

ReplyDeleteLove your note...Roll with the punches, breathe, and i have to add don't forget to exhale...
I watched that game too...not too happy about the Italians this year! Which is your favorite team, Sexy?
Please hug the cutie, RN, for me. She is an adorable angel. :D
LOVE YOU TONS.
Can't wait for the next update, I check it few times a day! YES I'm Addicted to you!
Wow, I am the proud mother of this guy, always loving him and always believing in him. "ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES" this is it! you are the first and we all following you. I talked to you last night. You told me there is possibility of infection in your pipes. All at sudden I felt so sad, but on the 2nd thought, I told myself: this is not the voice of a person with infection, he is fine........then I fell asleep.
ReplyDelete"do nothing and leave nothing undone" from Lao Tzu, I remember trying to understand it, but today when I read your blog the AHA moment happened to me! Now I get it...........
Ok, enough with philosophy. Let's talk MONEY. You lost $20.00 Mister because of your Bilirubin, we bet on it and I won ;-)go bili.....I love your Bilirubin.
Amir jan, I am your third cousin and I check your blog every day too!! I am addicted to your blog like the first person said. I would say forget about computer engineering and go with writing a book !. You are great. Your spirit is great and God is with you.
ReplyDeleteAs a former writer and current Amir blog addict.....I must agree!
ReplyDeleteI third the book idea. Seriously. Your post reminded me of a quote, "the only certain thing is change" this is what buddhists so strongly believe. I'll see if I can find the book about this for you that i read. Can team Amir make requests? Id like more videos if possible.xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to inspire all of those around you and reminding us to rise to a higher level of consiousness. I love you.
