Ten Things I Love/Appreciate
1. I appreciate friends. I needed them and relying on them more now.... So much kindness. ☺

2. I love my Bible. I didn't recognise this until last week. I was pleasantly surprised. It is my most leafed-through and most engrossedly-studied book; and one of the major essentials I carry with me when I travel overseas. ♥ Interestingly, it is a hand-me-down (without maps). I've been considering purchasing another travel-hardy one with maps, etcetera.
3. I appreciate (the power of) prayers. I'm still learning - to focus, to elaborate, or to be specific (compared to casually conversing, or quickly in point forms). There's no "strict rule on how to pray" to follow. I just nowadays value and love the private communions. I still prefer to be quiet during public praying, but love being part of the group. ♥
4. I appreciate that I could survive on very simple foods, hahahah!
5. I appreciate strong internet access and my netbook (both kept me company while I healed in "solitary" confinement for several weeks).
6. I love (takeaway) home-cooked meals prepared by friends. ♥
7. I appreciate free (good enough) movies online, especially the foreign arthouse films with English subtitles. ☺♥
8. I love that I succeeded on a personal challenge to not purchase new possessions for myself last year (except for self-defence training gear and a Vietnam flag t-shirt that I wore on the Mount Fansipan Summit to commemorate the achievement). It was a hard test but I proved I did not need more stuff. ☺♥
9. I would love to continue not shopping except for necessities.... I bought one item since the new year, replacing the leggings I ruined during my recent travels. My new one is so well made (ordered through a friend's sister all the way from Korea!) and thicker with a mini-skirt attached to keep my modesty from behind. Ladies do check that please! I've seen too many sheer leggings worn on their own, and really, not a good look.
10. I appreciate the challenge of "letting go of stuff". Filtering what's important and true/honest. This is also very hard, making me face fully some harsh and confronting issues. I want/need to face them, for my own good and to be better. It is great for healing and restoration/rejuvenation, which I love. ♥♥

1. I miss floating or wading freely and amphibiously in water. My leg and ankle are being treated for injuries, advising against sun exposure and uneven grounds or waves. Thankfully now, I can at least stand in indoor pools (shallow end) and warm spas (with the wound off the water if possible). With doctor's approval, woohoo! ☺♥
2. I dislike being inactive. I already feel unfit and gluggy.
3. I miss full mobility. The little lifestyle adjustments I've adopted added up and are tiring.
4. I dislike that I am struggling to do my TEFL online course. I have not started!! Lacking motivation(?) or distracted(?), but also other challenges/opportunities are presented that requires more attention.
5. I dislike spiritual warfare.
6. I miss my mentor. She has been a gift and is a blessing.
7. I miss other mentors (I am still searching for appropriate ones), for other ventures/opportunities.
8. I dislike not knowing how to ride a motorbike. I will try to learn and get my license this year. Hhhhmmm... maybe I should have kept my motorcycle helmet... ack!
