I've found out that George Eliot is the pen name of the English novelist, Mary Ann Evans. I haven't read any of her works but it will be interesting to read her poem.
For my 5 things today:
- Admired how beautiful the sky was this morning. This is such a privilege for me at this time and I don't want to take it for granted.
- Gave TLC to my 3 hens. I named them - Puti (for an obvious reason), Molly, and Rosie. Sprinkled some water on their coop all the while telling them how the water would refresh the surrounding and thanking them for the eggs.
- Emailed a friend. I met her during the lowest moment in my life. She also has an autoimmune disease called rheumatoid arthritis. At that time I was newly diagnosed. Meeting her strengthened my belief that there's hope. There's no cure for this kind of autoimmune disease however, with a good treatment coupled with lifestyle change, it's easier to handle and one can function better.
- Practiced emotional intelligence. I am slowly getting better at it. Maybe it's early to say given the fact that it's just a week after school starts. Yet, I am keeping it cool merely staring in disbelief at how a meter-long bench can hold so much: socks, bags, books, you name it.
- Celebrated small wins. So here's to us who despite so many uncertainties, noises, and doubts keep our heads up high. Taking one step at a time, and loving the Gewürztraminer.
Cheers, beautiful human beings!
