Fill-In Sunday

I believe I can deal with procrastination.

I need to go "Marie Kondo" my desk to reduce distraction.

It does not do good to lose my attention.

(And do other things that just cost me tension).

I find self-caring to be a walk in the park

(Well, not really)

But when I get started self-caring gives me this spark

It opens my eyes, I can see in the dark

I can fight my anxiety and put it in a halt!

          It is a late morning for me getting up from a late evening from doing homework last night. I should say from the early morning because I went to bed past midnight. Part of me is thinking, "what am I doing?" I decided to go back to college to advance my degree. It has been a year now, and here I am still going. I am two subjects away from going up a level. Doing school work gets my mind off the stressful situations around me--family, work--which I love. 

          I made instant Pho and added ground meat. My friends would be shocked, as I switched to non-meat diet since last May but it is veggie meat :) so it's okay. I plan to do some work after this blog post entry, then go to church. I will go to the gym for an hour workout, longer than my usual and try to do about 10,000 steps of the treadmill and other machines. Yesterday, I only did 8,000 :( because I buried my head doing homework and it is just not easy marching in place as I type while my head was covered with books and papers. Can you imagine?

          Good Sunday to you all! May your day be restful or productive or both. 

February Reasons to be Merry

Ice cream cake, black rice pudding, Eggs Benedict from our favorite restaurant.

Hello, hello, I'm glad I'm here

My presence is back in the blogosphere

I thought why not, it gives me cheer

Writing good thoughts sets aside my fears

As you see here, I post a lot about food

It is one of the things that sure boost my mood

I had ice cream cake shaped like a heart, you see

Breakfast and lunch times with my sweetheart and me

Pad Thai noodles, black rice pudding

Eggs Benedict in front of the wall art

Seafood curry, spicy soup while we look

At salt-and-pepper-cow-so-cute 

A valentine day with my special dude

With flowers, rose plant, and, yes, more food

Even sitting in the gym massage chair

Made me feel, "Oh, so good."

In a more serious note, I feel grateful for the grace we received

For the safety from a hit and run accident

My daughter's safe, we're relieved

We are thankful that this morning the thief was caught

Breaking in my daughter's car right in the lot

In our neighborhood

I am thankful for yoga, therapy, and support 

For the gym on these cold days

And exercise there where it's not cold

I am thankful to be reminded to write a blog post

As I'd rather be writing my gratitude here

Highlighting the good and getting them exposed
