*** BLAH… ***
“Hope is a dangerous thing to lose.”
This is the phrase I’ve heard from one of the character saying in ‘LOST’ during last night.
He’s right.
(Or should I say the script writer is right instead?)
In one of the CSI-New York episodes, one character was relating how he was coping with the lost of his wife, who died in the 911-incident.
In order to move on with his life, he threw everything that belonged to his wife away, everything except for a self-inflated beach ball.
It was a beach ball inflated by his wife when she was still alive.
Why a beach ball, you may wonder.
Why did he keep it when he was already determined to move on with his life?
He said,
“I couldn’t throw it away because part of her is still inside.”
I almost cried and I would like to give my praise to the script-writer of that particular episode.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are
something to do,
something to love,
and something to hope for.
~ Joseph Addison
Hmm…I am still not sure why I’ve named the title of that post “Blah…”?
I guess it must be one of those random ramblings I would blog during lunch time at work….LOL!
If you are wondering which CSI-New York episode I was referring to, it is the first episode of the first season.
As for the quote mentioned in LOST…oops…memory lost in transit…LOL…sorry!!
Have a great Monday ahead!
Till then,
Cheers & TTFN~ 😀

A very touching story about the man keeping the beach ball as a memento of his deceased wife…so sweet and beautiful, yet understandably tragic.
It’s always nice to look back at old blogposts too, ah the lovely memories lol 🙂

Yes…indeed…and I wrote ‘Almost Cried Out’…but in fact, I did CRY OUT LOUD ε=ε=ε=┌(;*´Д`)ノ
My mom thought I was ¿ⓧ_ⓧﮌ crazy to burst into tears while watching a crime drama…LOL…
Though it might be fictional, I think such bittersweet love still exists in this chaotic world.

Thanks for the inspiring post. Have always loved that Louis Armstrong rendition and had just been thinking of the terrific and true Joseph Addison quote this morning, but couldn’t recall who had said it. So thanks for the mystery solved, as well. Have a lovely week, my friend. xo

I think you always should keep a few drops of hope and if possible, buckets of hope in your heart! It makes a lot of sense that happiness will come by, if one is positive! This is a beautiful post, my dear!
