I am such a silly billy. There I was, yesterday, starting to think it was all doom and gloom all over again. Faith is what some people throw away at first sight of fear, but bet cha did not realise that a little of it can go a long way.
I went to see my mum's regular GP yesterday afternoon about her giddyness lately. Initially we thought it was heat related, or maybe her daily dosage of medication was overworking. When the doc heard the word 'facial', she immediately said "Orrh! I know what is it."
Turns out it is nothing serious, just a slight displacement of the occicles in the ears, that causes a disorder call Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. As written, benign is good, as oppose to malignant, paroxysmal means it comes and goes whenever, positional relates to certain positions or sudden movements of the head, and finally vertigo is what some of us may experience once in awhile if we stay in a position for too long and change to something else. I experience vertigos once in awhile, most of the time after I get up from the chair after sitting down for a long time. It is a disorientating feeling whereby my vision gradually starts to go purple, and the mind spaces out.
The occicles in the ears are sort of the body's GPS system, where it send messages to the brain to tell it if the body is standing up, lying down or sitting down. Thus the doc was explaining to us that my mum may have displaced the occicles in her ear during or after her facial due to sudden movements after a prolonged period in a position. The cure is actually very simple; no medications required. Just a simple exercise routine to do everyday, and true enough after she practiced it on my mum, she immediately felt better.
Good news all round. Yay. But that was not the only piece of good news yesterday. Right after we came out of the doctor's room, I received a call from a prospective employer. I had gone for their first interview last week, and was shortlisted for a second interview yesterday morning. And yesterday afternoon, they called me to offer me the position! Looks like my days of sleeping late and waking up late are seriously numbered. I have informed another prospective employer, whom I will prefer to work for, of this offer that I have just gotten. Hope they can expedite their interview process and oh-please-God offer me the position tomorrow.
A little faith goes a long way; imagine if you have total faith, you can achieve absolutely anything you desire. =)
The lyrics of this song resonates my sentiment exactly, and it is also a really beautiful song.
I Hope You Dance
Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance, i hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking,
Loving might be a mistake but its worth making.
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to selling out, reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Normally I don't like to embed youtube videos or songs into a post, will prefer to upload the song into vox, but have to make an exception this time, as the accompanied images and lyrics of this video are truly inspirational. Enjoy.
