To some: blogging is a way of life, an expression of self, to pass the time, to organize ones thoughts.. whatever reasons bloggers have, would my thoughts matter? So that's why we enter The Duh! and A-huh?! Show! -- I blog and you react or well, duh!? as much as you want. It's your call and this is my show! ;-)

Me and Pooh Bear


Have you ever thought of Pooh lately? Yes, the yellow bear who never learned to wear undies!!! Well, have you thought of him lately… I have just now.
Have you ever wondered what’s become of him after Christopher Robbin grew older? I think I know what has become of him.
When Christopher Robbin was little he was so amazed and so attached with Pooh that he hardly made him leave his sight. He hardly left him anywhere because he never wanted poor Pooh to get dirty. After sometime, the little boy Chris started growing and little by little he was leaving Pooh everywhere.
Pooh was left out in the backyard and for long years little boy Chris never even thought of looking. It rained and the storm poured hard on Pooh day after day. Had Chris forgotten how Pooh was to him when it made him smile? Had he forgotten what Pooh’s worth was to him?
Do we ever see a person’s worth when they’re right beside us? Sad how most people forget so fast. Forget or they never dared to know our worth? I remember someone saying that if you know the person’s worth you will never find it easy in any way to leave that person… So perfectly true!
No wonder so many Poohs are found lying around so wet and dirty!
Do we ever care to look what’s inside the person before we even start looking for OTHER people? Do we even bother to see what’s there to cherish in that person we are with? Most of the time people don’t take this time to think. We are almost always looking for something else and it never ends.
If Christopher Robbin had cared for Pooh that much would he have forgotten where Pooh was? If he knew Pooh’s worth would the poor bear be in the dark, so wet and dirty?
There are things that matter that most of us don’t see. We take things for granted and leave them buried and forgotten. I wonder when will little Chris will remember Pooh? When he’s old and alone? When Pooh no longer exist?
I wonder when people will learn to care wholeheartedly and treasure the ones who did cherish them with widely open arms.
