Tomorrow refuses to exist in my mind until tomorrow comes. And yesterday blends with today. I’ve lost count of time but today I realize it’s already the 20th which means eight more days of squandering time and energy enjoying lazy days at home. I want it slow. The days are just flying by.
I don’t think I went out a lot. In fact going out was just to do the necessary – paying the bills, meeting up friends, buying groceries – then I hurry back home to my haven consisting of my bedroom, the TV, kitchen, family meals together, the internet, my Gingergirl, books, writing, movies, my bed, junk foods I grew up with, long afternoon naps, etc. I hope by the end of this month, I would have gained 3 kilograms which I have lost the last few months. Thankfully, they’ve been plenty of foods to glut on since the first day being home :)
Well, I can’t say enough about how rejuvenating it feels to be back home… They’ll be plenty of pictures to share – once I have resized them. In the mean time, here is something thoughtful from Dr. Steve Stephen’s 21 Surprisingly Simple Steps to a Great Life: “Being thankful keeps you focused on the positive… Thankfulness leads to optimism, which overflows into hope and joy. Gratitude reminds us of all we have. It causes us to embrace life with a sense of excitement and expectation. It brings us to a point of appreciation and celebration. The difficulty in being thankful is really a crisis of creativity. We take so much for granted that our eyes grow old. We don’t recognize the incredible things that surround us each day. If we would only stop and look around, we would see a multitude of things for which to be thankful.”
