I am grateful that time passes by in a flash these days. It seems that I don't have enough hours in the day to do the things I want to do.
But it seems that I am able to achieve more than when I was staying at home. That, or as my friend KH suggested, I have adapted and managed my time better.
What bothers me a little these days is the changing weather. Woke up with heaviness in my chest this morning. So I tried to slow down so I don't get breatheless. When we stepped out of the house I saw some sort of a dusty fog, not quite a sandstorm, not quite a fog.
And I seem to start sneezing again. I thought I got rid of the cold. Now my Little One has cough and running nose too! Not something a working mummy want (or any mom for that matter.) But now that I am working, I cringe at the idea to have to call in sick and let alone to call in sick on the accord of my Little One being sick. SO I am bumping up my vitamin consumption. I know different studies have stated different things. Some even suggest that its useless to pop those pills. But I am trying my best to boost my immunity so I'll try any thing.
And I do struggle on somedays to keep myself centered. Its easy to get oneself distracted by the passing time and things that people say. But I am adamant to stay positive. Perhaps taking Phillipa's course is paying off.
I seriously believe that negative thinking does nothing but to bring a person down and attracts more negativity in one's life.
I had a conversation with someone who reminded me of the importance for me to keep my positive enthusiasm. I feel for her but at the same time I always believe that the only person we can control is ourselves and we're the only who can make things better for ourselves, no matter what the situation will be. Nothing comes out from slandering other people no matter how bitter you are. Just makes the listener uncomfortable and lose respect for you.
But anyways, that's my lesson for the weekend. I always believe that people are sent in my life for me to learn my lesson so I don't have to repeat them myself.
I know I will have a great week! For those of you waiting for a further update of my Turkey trip, I apologize for not updating, I promise to do so as soon as I have the time :)
PS Thank you Joy for the 12 rules to live by, I so agree with them!

I am so grateful for your post, as I needed this reminder today. Positive thinking brings a sense of contentment and peace, whereas negative thinking only weighs us and others down. No good ever comes from speaking ill of others. I would never want anyone to be hurt because I said careless words in a time of stress (I'm afraid I have done this too many times!) Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for your example of positive enthusiasm!
Oooooh! You mentioned my name and linked to me! I feel so honored! LOL! I think the 12 rules have a lot of wisdom in them.... especially in the context of small community living - you know what I mean!
I hope you feel better soon. Try garlic capsules and echinacea along with the vitamins.
lv,
Joy
