"What do you have a hard time accepting about yourself?"

UAE!!!

A day not as planned

For some unknown reason, I just cannot get enough rest. Or is it one of those where you're tired because you rested too much?

Couldn't get up when I was supposed to.

Place I had to coax myself for weeks and weeks to go to turned out to be closed.

Internet timed out at the most inconvenient time.

Got locked out.







As a result, I now have to make two phone calls, hoping things get straightened out.

I still have loads to do, and for some reason procrastination is still plaguing me.

I have a full day ahead, plenty to do tomorrow, and yet here I am accomplishing nothing. Maybe its time to get those essays done. But what do I write?

I want to watch a movie.

Neighbour thinks its perfectly fine to be blasting music through out HER waking hours.

Can't afford groceries yet here I am sipping overpriced coffee.

Ok, let's get busy.

...and you let her go

Sometimes, the people you like, the people you care about, the people you want in your life; they leave.




And sometimes,




Just sometimes,




You have to let them go...




..because that is your reminder to move forward as well.

"No cellphones in the work area"

What are the odds of me forgetting to put my phone on silent.

What are the odds of me walking up to the big boss to have a casual chat.

What are the odds of my phone making a sound at that hour, as I stood chatting with the big boss.







*face palm*

"When you feel like you do not have enough, give."

Forgive me, Lord, for I have been ungracious.
I have blinded my sight from your various blessings.
I have sputtered and whined that you haven't provided me with what I wanted;
When indeed, all this while, I have had all I've needed.

Planning for possibilities.

Of course there might be hindrances. That is part of life. Curveballs may come.


No, that shall not deter me.


I plan for possibilities; not  absolutes.




But I do  have goals, and those goals I shall achieve..

Invincible or invisible

Yes, it would be easier to slink away..
Fade away into the distance.



But remember your colours, sweet child.
Remember that you have colours that deserve to shine.

Music, is how we decorate time.

I wonder what contributed to this week's fatigue.

The inability to come back with a witty response to one person's condescendence.

The lack of stamina to go beyond 500 steps.

Falling asleep at the gym.

Being so absent minded and almost leaving behind something precious at the restaurant.

Again, forgetting to bring it with me at the salon.

Again, at forgetting to lock the car.





Let us just take a deep breath and give moment to happy thoughts...


Here's to this week's excellence:

Being encouraged to sing, where songs are not sung. And having them back you up when the little jealous creatures try to bring you down.

Looking for a voice that used to emerge effortlessly.

Finding it in a classroom that I used to always dread.

Seeing eager little heads bobbing and belting out their heart's content.








I almost forgot that little joy. Thank you, for reminding me.

As often as my thoughts and dreams drift to you; I wonder, am I in yours?
