Now that I am done cursing, I shall start fresh with my usual ranting.
Given the series of events that is happening to me in the office, it is indeed a sharp call for a good break. But on the hind side of things, I wonder if really, it is also a sharp call for my early retirement.
Hahaha... while I'm laughing, I am still thinking IF this is it. This is the calling to start planning seriously of my life pursuit that makes me happy. I mean to dwell into things that really makes me happy.
I am not denying this job pays me handsomely. But at many points, it brings me unwarranted stress. Of course, a lot of corporate people will be advising me that the stress I get is the extend of the imposition I am allowing it to have upon my own self. But if to begin with there is no source of stress, there is nothing to be stress with then.
See what I mean.
But of course, a sane person would tell me it would be an act of a fool to give up such a good job for passion. But as Eugene keeps reminding me, do what that makes you happy.
I don't know if anyone ever realised this but I can't get any better gift from him than to give me his blessings. Just do what I think is right and that that makes me happy.
My mind is pretty mess up with stuff like this at the moment.
People who already know my lifestyle would attest to this. Like what now brown cow?
I don't really have an answer.
But what I do know is, everytime I face with very tough situations, it makes me stronger.
Given that the same would have happened to me 5 years ago, I would be very affected. Today, it just some no peace of mind but I could still function with everything else moving along.
I just want to have things at a mode of 1-step-at-a-time. Don't over react or over stress on matters. Life's too short as I always put it. Got to live the moment.
But yes, at times, while we are so engross worrying about things for tomorrow we just forget.
Anyway, I am in those twilight zone with books at the moment. Believe it not, I have read or rather, half read 3 books as of today, somehow thee books are either too long winded or just fail to hold me attention long enough to continue reading. It's sad. And as a result I have not updated on my current reads. Hehe.
I'm half way through "The Memory Keeper's Daugther." I just lamented to Eugene that it is a hard book to read. It basically is thriving on sadness and walking through that phrase in life as the basis of the storyline. I'm not much into such books because it's hard for me to feel the story.
I mean, it's tough for me to feel sad every time I leaf through the pages. And I really feel that way.
Tough. Despite it being one of those nominated for something kinda book. Of course I agree that the storyline is great, the writing is awesome and not forgetting the way
Kim Edwards writes, ahhh, precise descriptive words to depict every step every character embraces. She deserves the nomination. She even deserves the book sales.
But to Verniela, it's a tough book.
As it is already, my life for the past 7 months have been tough, particularly on the work forefront. I don't want anymore of such toughness in life *smile*.
So yes, I'm sorry Kim, I will have to let this one go. I'll have it put back to my lovely shelf with lots of respect and admiration on your work. But I will not though, forget to read up the entire synopsis of it so I would know how it all ended at last, somehow...
Anyway, the time is already pointing to 6.10pm. It is time I go for my walk.
Before that, I must put a note on 2 things though.
1. When would I be finishing my books? Answer: I don't know. I just told Eugene this afternoon about it and he asked this? "Which one?" "The one with the 5 Ladies or Shanice?" I'll walk on the one with the 5 Ladies first... I promised myself a good one by end of 2010. I don't know if I would ever make it, at least to the draft of a complete story but I'll try.
Though this would mean, I would cease my card making for a little while to have a good concentration on my work.
2. I am planning to do up a lovely desk top calendar for charity work by year end. Since I have several good friends whom are into photography, let's see how we can come together and have Sanctuary Home featured on the 12 months, then I'll arrange and work out on the entire artwork and concept of the calendar. Not forgetting the printing cost, the entire logistics of these.
It's gonna be quite a bit of work here but I am sure, it would pay off. I am even sure this time around, we could raise more than RM5K for the home.
Just pray for me that we can garner enough generous support from everyone for the kids... I'm pretty much looking forward to this... :-)
Alright. Enough said. The clock is ticking. I need to get sweaty and move those fats.
Have a good week ahead everyone. Remember, live.
