1. SPRING!! What's not to love about spring!!?! :-) ♥♥
1. SPRING!! What's not to love about spring!!?! :-) ♥♥
2. Flowers! I love all the flowers I received. Bought and picked. Thank you so very much. Don't stop, please :-)))
3. Prayers!! Please continue this. Feeling very verrry overwhelmed. As I accept, discern and prepare myself; for a new relationship, a new adventure, a new commitment and much changes. There's so much to take care of! Dealing with a lot of, let's just call them spiritual, financial and physical "heaviness".... While trying to stay on top of my current responsibilities!
4. Babies! A baby, to be specific. She is absolutely adorable ♥♥.
5. Gym at work. I don't think I'll succeed in getting back into fitness if I didn't have access to one during lunch, mostly the only time I could squeeze a quick workout into my week.
6. My weekends for rest, please, at least one day of "nothing" per week, will be most appreciated.
7. ME TIME.
8. Hugs.
9. I still really appreciate the confrontations I face with myself as I try to apply the Kingdom living and values into my decisions and actions. (This shouldn't be in here at the moment, coz I am very painfully confronted at various levels at the moment with many spiritual, financial and emotional inventory. Self-inflicted. Appreciating but not loving it :-(( ...)
10. I am still grateful that (most) friends know that my relationship and love for them will not change to less just because I turned "Jesus". It will break my heart if any of you think I will see/treat you with less love, or unequal or unacceptable. :-((( .... My love has actually even increased!! Not out of pity, piety, or duty! But overflowing from increased awareness of how much God loves all of us, regardless.
** I don't like this list this season. Sounds very complaining and overwhelmed.
1. September is always mixed with melancholy for me, in memory of my eldest brother.
2. I'm starting to dislike being intentional in making time for some people, but feeling like an after-thought in return. Especially when others would drop their plans (that won't affect others) to spend time with me. Realigning myself this season to mirror others' intents, care for our relationships, and actions, much because of quality time constraints.
3. Miss writing. I still would really love to have more time to play with writing. To be less restrained and hindered in my expressions. To trial, error and success. Allowing my creativity to take forms without or with much less inhibitions. If only I didn't have to work, or eat, or travel, or relate, or sleep. *smiling sarcastically*
4. I still dislike giving up writing about many current affairs and reflections coz the "moments were lost".
5. I dislike still feeling unrested. I long for a half-week break! I can't go away for a week, but I need to go away, forget about life, and to be a recluse, methinks. :-(((
6. I dislike busyness. I feel I'm repeatedly whinging but my glass is too full.
7. I miss my usual fitness level. This season feels like my most unfit in more than a decade. I can feel the weight pile on (which is not the problem[!!], especially as I will definitely lose weight overseas next year). I am reminded though of my current struggle between exercise-tiredness-rest-activity; healthy/indulgent/survival/loving/comfort-eating; and prioritisation of responsibilities/pursuits against time.
8. I still miss relaxing/nice, strong, long, full-body (head-to-toe) sports massage with scented oils. I haven't been satisfied of getting all five criteria in one session this year. :-(
9. I still dislike how messy my
10. I still miss the beach, with warm water and sunsets.
Ten Wishes/Prayers **** Fourth season, SAME.

6. Courage (I have, because I trust.)
7. Submission (I do, because I follow with trust.)
8. For the last (biz) issue with old partner to be fully finalised this year instead of in 4 years! No negativity, but I would really like to no longer have to deal with him and not participate in keeping the (biz) issue away from his new partner. Peace of mind and complete closure would be nice.
9. To not under-perform and to be a peacemaker at work. smoothening office issues and politics.
10. That opportunities keeps coming and presenting itself; and that I respond rightly/appropriately, by taking them on, or saying no.
