Life happens and if you are able to bend and go with the flow with out being disjointed you will be much happier. I figure just accept and enjoy the moments life brings and try not to mourn about the moments you feel life has deprived you of - because mourning takes up time that would be better used enjoying the good things/times :-) and there are always good things/times if we are looking for them.
On Sabbath - yesterday - I was planning to join a couple of friends for dinner, but that plan was cancelled due to circumstances and so instead of a nice restaurant dinner I found myself almost an hour out of Seoul with different friends, eating kimbap from a foil wrapper, and commiserating with a friend who is in hospital with pneumonia. He is getting better.
We tried to talk him in to coming out of hospital with us and wandering around the town in his hospital pj's, jandals and IV pole. This is something I have often seen Koreans doing, and as they say "When in Korea, do as the Koreans do."
We final convinced him to come, but then the nurse nixed our plan. Apparently one of the drugs on the IV pole requires that he stays in the hospital.
Here is a picture of him just outside the front door waving goodbye as we went in search of dinner ...
Not the plan I started the day with, but still a happy thing.
