Now, what?

by François Gauzi
Musée Toulouse-Lautrec

It's the third month and I am beginning to question my next move. My reality today is:  in-between jobs. 

Or the harsh truth- UNEMPLOYED. It's scary and given the fact that a woman's retirement age is 64. I wonder about a lot of things and how to go forward without depending on my husband. While he is thinking of retiring in two years, here I am looking for a job. 

Maybe age is not my primary issue but the kind of profession. Maybe it's my strategy to find a job. Maybe it's the timing. Maybe it's because I am given the chance to focus on my health first. There are so many maybes. 

Nevertheless,  the doubts and uncertainties are weakened by the fact that I am willing to find something for myself. To dig deeper, befriend fear and forge ahead.

The thought that I am here on Earth to create and fulfill something more and to manifest the GREATNESS that the Higher Up has bestowed on me keeps me going.

 It would be a shame not to find it, not to create because it would mean taking for granted what He has bestowed on me. Putting into waste HIS gifts--my talents, my skills, and my learnings. 



So I am on a quest once more, to create another path, THE path which will lead me to the fulfillment of my true being. I am excited about the possibilities.  In the meantime,  I savor the signs, learnings and that are coming my way. 

In case, we cross paths, do not hesitate to say hello however if you're in a hurry I will not be in your way. Just remember to smell the flowers from time to time. Marvel at the beauty around you. Lift your head up and be grateful for how far you've come. You are an inspiration to many.

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

A Kulasa and being on (Swiss) time

I cannot remember being "that late" besides I am a Kulasa and being on the dot was instilled in me. Well, there were times that due to unforseen circumstances I would be 5-10 mins late but that was it. So it was during my first two years of living here that I have really learned the importance of Swiss time . That thanks to my Mama. My mother would leave me when I didn't arrive on time. I would be upset and could not fathom the idea of being left like that. So I've learned to be on the dot(again) every time I have to see her. The idea of being late and being left behind stresses me to the max esp. if it is Mama. Now that I have two gals an extra time allowance has to be given so as not to be late. Besides,the buses have their stop and schedule so there are no more excuses. All I have to do is just be on time!
