2019 Week 28 Update

This was quite an eventful week as I updated yesterday.

After a night spent at the hospital, the next day we went to an awards function where S got a excellence award. He was the only person from his organisation to win it this year and it was a proud moment when he was featured as one of the big winners of the evening.

Next week seems to be another hectic week, what with taking GG to an interview and also for her review with an orthopedic doctor. I also have an event with the organisation I work part-time plus I have my to-do list to work on!

That was all last week, let’s hope this week is kind to me. Have a wonderful week people!

Poem: The Flame

I usually like have scented candles next to me when I am working. The other day, I was daydreaming and suddenly my eyes were arrested by the flickering flame. Inspiration struck and this poem is the result of that.

The Flame

I stare at the flame, fluttering and flickering

The little glow of light that is so mesmerising

I could stare at it for hours and forget the world

Meditate on it, think about the possibilities my mind is aswirled

I watch it flicker as a gust of wind washes by it

But the little flame is not to be deterred, it does not want to quit

It almost dies out, but wait, there’s still life in it

It comes back to life, full and flaming, it has a lot of grit

I see our lives as a parallel to this flame

With troubles gusting over us as the wind does to the flame

But quitting is not an option, because life is not a game

As the flame comes back to life time after time,

So should you overcome your troubles and start your climb

Life is like that flame, it flickers and looks like it may get snuffed out

But overcome obstacles, get up and don’t get knocked out.

2019 Week 27 Update

There’s literally nothing I did this week, that I can write here. Somehow the week just flew by and I am here another new week to get productive!

I went for my eye review and the good news is that my infection has completely cleared up, so that’s a huge relief. I have to go for another review in about three months for my dry eye syndrome which is a routine check-up. I do have to do a few tests that I have to do that day, so it’s going to be a long day that day.

Later in the week, I have to accompany S to an awards ceremony where he is getting an award. I am stoked to be going there and super proud of him since he is the only person from his organisation getting the award that day.

I still have many items from my To-Do list from last week which means my list this week is a mile long! Add to the chaperone duties I have, my week is packed. Wish me luck as I clear it all up.

Have a wonderful week!

2019 Week 27 Update

Life is meandering on with nothing really happening. The most exciting thing that happened was GG’s news that she had been called for an audition to a JC for DSA.

I have been quite productive this week, managing to hit all the items off my to-do list by the end of the week, which is quite rare for me. Hopefully, this is something I can do on a regular basis.

I had a bit of a low time in June when I was super unproductive and also didn’t really take care of my diet and exercise, but July has become a restart for me and this time I am more focussed on eating clean and walking at least 12-15k steps during the weekday and 10k steps over the weekend.

I am also at peace internally. I have decided to give my freelance business more thought and am becoming extremely picky when it comes to applying for jobs and positions. If it is meant to happen, it will happen, is my new mantra.

That’s all for this week, I have my eye review later today and I am hoping the doctor gives me the all clear this time around. I don’t want to go back for another review for atleast 3-4 months.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Week 26 Update

We now officially halfway down the year! There are times I feel the first half of 2019 has zoomed by while at other times, I can’t wait for the year to end.

School starts today and hopefully, so shall my productivity. I find myself quite unproductive when the children are at home and now need to recalibrate my thinking since they finish school this year.

I have quite a few things on my to-do list this week and hope to accomplish all of them. I am also planning our year end holiday and am really excited. I love planning for holidays and this time is no different.

Ok, gotta go and start work on that to-do list now, so have a wonderful week folks!
