The train of our lives …

The very first time I rode on a train was with my late father where we traveled on an overnight train from our home town to where the high school that I went to. It was weird but interesting experience. We were all going to some destinations, some were the same, some were different. Some folks joined us from one of the stops and some from other stops. In fact people came and went  at some junctions at some points. Funny thing was they were all strangers from all over the place, but yet we share one thing in common –we had a destination in mind. 

Our lives are just like the train that I took, we made many stops along our lives. In some stops, we met the most meaningful people in our lives and we seemed to share the ride of the lifetime together. At different stops, we met some people that we wish we had never met, some had disappeared into the dust, some managed to stick around like flies, some left behind such huge imprints in our lives. Also in this very train of life, we manage to meet our loved ones and as we journey thru the life, we end up sharing one destination in mind.

That first train that I took with my father has marked the beginning of my own journey toward my own life. He was there to accompany me to my first destination in life –first stop in my journey. Ever since, I have been to many destinations around the world and have met many wonderful people in my life.

At the same time, I have taken many of you with me on my train and we have made many stops visiting some life events that I had encountered, visiting some lessons that I have learned, and visiting the places that I have been. And this train has been running pretty much non-stop. It definitely has been a meaningful ride and I hope you enjoy each ride with me.

Today, my train of life would stop for a bit as it needs its maintenance time. I would return soon once my train is ready to move again. Meanwhile, please don’t forget to stop by now and then visiting the 189 stops that this train has made so far under “Blogs since October 11th 2011.”

Of course, when this train returns, it will sound its horn and you would surely know.

See you at the next stop,
