Unfinished



Days have passed and I wonder when to write. To sit down and just write all the things that had happened during the past few days but I'm keeping it off for a long while now. It's not the lack of inspiration but there's not really an urge to share what I have in mind. 
Thoughts of altogether leaving my blog entered my mind, but the need to express my feelings in writing persisted.

This is a draft written in 2011.  And there are 200-something of them on the list. I want to select which ones are worth keeping and finish each and every one of them, this means sticking to my plan for writing. According to this book, one has to choose one goal at a time. Focus on just one. 
But focusing on just one made me anxious about my time here. 
How can I do the other things I'd like to accomplish like learn another language, have 250 subscribers on youtube by February, write a book, optimize my health, augment my earning capabilities and pass my driver's license? 

If it feels overwhelming, I learned that it's better to prioritize and take small steps to work on a particular goal. It takes practice nonetheless doable. Besides, spreading myself too thin does not mean good result.

These days, I spend 45 mins on writing every morning. I have conditioned my mind to write and post once a week and presently it has become twice a week. Exercising my mind and letting the words flow. This then will lead to finding synonyms, searching for articles, and discovering interesting links. And even if my mind wanders every now and then, I stick to it, preview what  I have written, and then write once again until my 45 minutes are over. True that by focusing one can accomplish more. 
Letting my brain work and learn new things is essential to keep it healthy since there are times when I forget some things, names, and words that I am supposed to say. It scares me a bit yet thinking that I have the capacity to rewire my brain is an amazing concept.
 
Now, I commit to finishing what I have started and focusing on that particular task. It took me a lot of time and courage to say that this is not working anymore for my well-being. Yes, it is never too late. 

And the other goals mentioned above? I am working on it. One day at a time and that's the beauty of life.

How about you? How do you work on your goals?

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...
