still busy...

hiya!

it's funny that soon as i posted i'm back last week that i was off again like a bubble. ^-^ thanks Pia for pointing that out, i had to giggle when i read your comment. i am still VERY busy with volunteer work, and daily bus journeys wear me out. as soon as i am home i would be raiding the refrigerator to quell the rumblings at the pit of my stomach, and before i've wiped my mouth clean, the husband would be home. then it's tea time with him as we catch up with our day's events and before we know it, it's time to make dinner already. it's not a very crazy schedule you must say, but time has its subtle ways of escaping me! ok, enough excuses. i didn't blog, that's all. i have lots of things to blog about though, and lots of thrifty finds to show off, but i simply don't have the time at the moment, in about an hour, i need to get ready again for my job today.

anyways, i was weeding my old mailbox and came across my old blog posts. i have long deleted my original account but i discovered today that i have cross-posted it to another obscure account! how clever, because i totally regret now that i deleted the old account as it's still funny to read how my old self used to think. here's a post i made in 2006:

i am changing some bad habits these days...
from night owl, to morning person...
from cursing the alarm clock,
to sweaty yoga morning stretches at half past 4...
from instant meals,
to veggies and virgin coconut oil...

somehow, the whirr in my head gets lost
in namaste.
somehow, i am considering of forgiving myself.
somehow, i feel less stupid as i
try to hope for better days in the future.

then i got a funny movie in my mail...
about life throwing me in a deep well trying to shovel all kinds of dirt on me, burying me...
and the trick to getting out is shaking the dirt off and taking a step up though the piling dirt...
that each of my trouble is a step to getting out...

it taught me secrets too...
1. to free my heart from hate
2. to free my mind from worries
3. to live simply
4. to give more
5. to expect less

easier said than done by the way.
but needless to say, i'm feeling much better after it.

this was long before i was married and long before i moved to ireland...i was living alone in a very tiny apartment then, working on a day job, thriving under stress and pressure, and on the side trying to answer the many questions hanging in the wind. writing down my feelings has helped me so much to get a grasp of reality, and it made me "grow up" a bit each time.

i'll see you when i see you then.  ^.^
