Little things
My big sis/life coach in NJ has been an inspiration to help me and role model too. I have been seeing her since we met back in 2009. When I realized alot of what she preaches I have been doing. But also alot of new practices I have been incorporating, I already see alot of people I love, respect and admire do as well.
This month of September she said and the cards during my session foretold it would be the TOUGHEST month in the next year. They were not kidding most especially in the workplace. I must admit I have been relatively easy on the stress in terms of this current job. I have stress here and there and overnights (2 times) and staying late or coming in on the weekends. This is that but ramped up 200 times.
So far during Labor Day weekend, I worked 12 hours before catching up with my bro when he arrived. The next day on Sunday worked as well as on Labor Day too. During the rest of the week during family dinners and events I had to stay at work til midnight. Finally when I had some free time, my poor brother had a bad case of food poisoning. Oh no! Suffice to say, I felt bad but grateful he was understanding of my lack of quality time with him.
This second weekend, I volunteered and fulfilled my monthly quota, attended a bday party of a cutie patootie turning 1 and met a cool person. Then went to a wedding of a friend and saw some treasured friends from DC and CA. (Their kids were adorable to boot!)
Plus I lost my iPod Touch to boot, I was surprised how zen and mellow I was. Love the Find my Iphone app and locked it, put a new phrase and changed my passwords for all my stuff last Friday. Then earlier today, my sis said the concierge of our building found an iPod Touch and thought it was hers. (I have not met him yet.) In the interim, my best friend from college sold me hers which was sitting in her drawer not being used. (God is kind and generous plus the Angelss protecting me are awesome!)
I never realized how much I got attached to it. I have refused to get an iPhone or expensive phone plan so my next best thing was the iPod Touch. It is my alarm clock, email access (with wifi), apps to connect with pals all over, back up camera (though not greatest quality), address book, notebook, Kindle, houses subway maps and games. and my light to walk into my room at night when I shut off all the lights so I don't trip.
Despite the crazy times and long hours, I am thankful to god. I am able to retain my sanity, eat ok (trying to steer very clear of too much junk food) and maintain my sense of humor and not lose too much sleep either.
Just feel blessed and lucky , I cannot win them all but still grateful.
