Resetting the mind - The unhurried journey of healing

My healing is a process. An unrushed journey. Sometimes doubt creeps in and I wonder if there's progress. Yet deep within, a voice confirms that there is and there will be. Though unhurried even invisible.

And it is in this little tweaking and modifying the thoughts that are making a difference. Those tiny habits every morning-making my bed, writing for 5 minutes, and expressing gratitude, eventually grow and lead to new ones.

Every so often, the old routine finds its way, but I said it's ok. The fact that I am mindful of slipping back into the old pattern is in itself progress.

I am aware and that's good.

Changing mindset on just about anything -- relationships, finances, health, as a part of one's healing is essential and is a lot of work but everything is intertwined. Refining my thoughts about money leads me to be more organized, to be more mindful, and more patient. It stirs in me to learn and create more.

There is still progress to be made. I am taking small steps instead of holding back and staying put - not doing anything and being ok with the situation is what will cripple my body and mind.

And the beauty of an unhurried journey to healing is having the chance to finally get to know oneself--giving it the utmost love and affection no one can EVER give but MYSELF.

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey.

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...

Love that binds them together

They were supposed to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary(25th January) but their relationship didn't last long. Distance and other circumstances got in the way or perhaps theirs are not meant to be a happy ending. Their children are all grown up and have accepted the fact that their parents won't get old together. But the couple have raised their children well,there's no doubt about it. They might not be together anymore as husband and wife but their love for their children and grandchildren bind them together and no matter what they will always be our Itay and Mama. Cheers to both of you!! You might also like: Little people's out-of-town wkend do's and don't Just one of those nights Cars and memories Parenting 101 Howzat

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!
