I break away from those chains that bind me to an unhappy situation in my life. I use the tools of desire and imagination to provide me with freedom from the prison of limited and habitual negative thinking. I am pulling up stakes and moving on to a better life and a more joy-filled situation.

We all have a choice with the way we live our lives. We may be experiencing difficulties at the moment, it may be hard for us to even smile with the burden we are carrying. But we can still choose to be hopeful, to be positive somehow.

It’s hard. But I believe we can!

I wish we would be needing moving services soon. I would love for the whole family to transfer to another residential area. God willing, in the place we are eyeing for quite some time now. But if we are not yet meant to move, I know that when my brother graduates, we’ll have enough money to pool so we can transfer somewhere more quiet and peaceful. I just hope we need not wait until then.

I am totally in awe of mothers out there. Some are career women at the same time a hands-on mom. I have a former co-worker who even brings her kid to school everyday before she goes to work. Picks her up in the afternoon and then comes back to the office to finish her job. She’d also be doing some errands during lunch time like shopping for discount shower faucets or picking up clothes freshly laundered by a woman she pays to do the job for her. Juggling work and being a mom is something I know is hard work. And I salute the women who do this every day of their lives.

It just popped in my head, this thing about life…

We are all tangled in the cobwebs of our lives. We either get stuck or we get freed. It is all up to us. We can let life pass us by or we can actively participate in it.

I choose to balance everything. Some days I just let life pass me by. But most days I actively participate. I don’t get contented with the cobweb that I got stuck in but rather, I make my own little cobwebs along the way.

Oh the perks of some jobs! A friend of mine gets a free hotel night whenever she renders over eight hours of overtime work in a week! This is on top of the overtime pay that she gets. Now tell me what do you think of this unusual perk of her job? Do you also want the same perk? I do! If my job entails doing overtime work but I get to have a free overnight stay at a hotel, I would gladly take on the job!

I love keeping things simple. I go out of the house in the simplest clothes I can wear, without seeming under-dressed. I love jewelry but if I can forgo it’s use, I do it. With the state of the economy these days, it is more prudent to go out of the house without anything fancy that will catch the eyes of the robbers.

How about you?
