Third week of 5 things TODAY

Actually, it was yesterday. This is just to keep a record that yes, I was able to make it to my third week.

5 things TODAY may not make sense to anybody but me, nonetheless it's okay. Writing my 5 things every day is a way to remind me that in my present situation, there's love, creativity, and energy that I can share with the Universe without asking for validation from anybody. There was a time when it was disheartening to find out that it was not reaching out to even half a dozen people. Then I would remind myself why I have started. And the fact that 4 or so people might be passing by to check on what I did was already something in itself. I am simply putting out what was initially a simple thought and giving it a life.

It was like what Elizabeth Gilbert had said about creativity and grasping it and making it happen. Otherwise, if the person rejects it or didn't take notice of it, that very energy would still be floating by until another person is brave enough to catch it and put it into being. Well, something like that.

Anyway, here are my 5 things TODAY.

My strength today- showing up. Getting past fear and having an exhilarating feeling of accomplishment.
Self-awareness.
Learning.
Friendship.
Chit-chat with my teenagers.

Blessings to you and your family.

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...

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?

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!
