5 Balls

It has been a long time since I've written.

No reasons at all. I just lack time and was trying to balance life. That's all.

I'm trying not to loose touch with my writing. Even my friends asked why was I not taking photos?

There are so many things to do each day. A lot to do and read at work, after work ... and family to focus on.

Darling sent me a really enlightening email with a quote written by the ex-president of the Coca-Cola Group. He said :

Imagine life is like juggling 5 balls: work, family, health, friends and spirit. Work is a rubber ball. But you'll soon understand that the rest of your balls are all made of glass. Once nicked, marked, shattered and it will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

I read and understood very well.

Indeed, I'm trying very hard to juggle these 5 balls. Family always comes first. And then Health. Work would be somewhere in between all these balls sitting in back seat of a car. Because with no work, there's no money ... and the rest would also never be the same. I'll take life one day at a time.

But when there's a need to choose, my husband, children, parents, sisters and the rest of my extended family would always come first. I wouldn't have to explain why. It's purely understood.

A colleague of mind kept reminding me that I'm a very lucky girl. My (future) husband loves me a lot; my sisters are the best; career going steady (sort of) ... I have very little to worry.

I admit I have expectations at work. But with life ... averagely stable would be good.

I replied, "I know. I count my blessings every single day. And I rarely complain. Just don't expect how and what you want in life. Live everyday as it is."
