To have it all

A new colleague invited us to her house for dinner few days ago.

She is Asian. Her husband is Europen. They have a 3 years old son, who is the cuttest kid I have ever seen.

She doesnt have a religion. Her husband is Christian. Their had a buddist style wedding in a small island in Asia. It was beatuiful. Only their family members and close friends attended this simple wedding.

She has well paid job. Previously she has a Asia Pacific role allowed her to travel frequestly and enjoy the diversity and challenges. Now she settled in HK, the expat life seems nicely suit her lifestyle.

She is well educated and with very good taste. Her marriage is happy. Her sbling take care of her parents back home so she has nothing to worry. Her in-laws are both like her friends rather than elder family members. (whom I have met on the dinner party this time)

I like her very much as a person. Mostly, every time I talked to her, she always has this glory on her face. It is so peaceful to listen her stories about life, marrige and her son. She looks like a person who has it all.

I am defintely not being jealous or anything. I am just amazed and impressed that one can really have that - a life in control and with so much satisfaction ad happniess.

A lot of us complain, feel confused, get lost, keep wondering about how to have it all. It is simply inspiring to see this though I may not know if I can be someone like her one day too.

I think it is not that much about how hard you work on things in life. It also depends on how your destiny leads you, doesn't it?
