My new way of living

Since Chloe came home, my pace of life picked up quite rapidly. I haven't really emailed anyone properly for about two weeks now, for sure. Someone I met recently commented that I set a high standard for myself, i.e. I try to be a 'super mummy'. I suppose I try to be the mother I wanted to have, but I'm certainly far from perfect!

God granted me a temporary job, which is great, but it is a humbling experience to be temping again, after all these years of having a 'permanent' job. The team I'm working with are probably feeling insecure, themselves so frankly, the atmosphere is a bit odd.

The good news for me, is that I finally took the plunge and am doing the massage therapy course I wanted to do. Guess what, I really do enjoy it. So far, some people don't think much of it, others think it is a great idea, but for me, let's just say, it is more 'real' i.e. involves real time human contact and interaction, versus the application of portfolio theory, which is just a game of filling your money box with the right kind and number of assets, or derivatives thereof.

I'm also enjoying my Japanese course. My view is that language reflects the particular society's culture. To me, the Japanese are exiles from China, and it is fascinating to study, through language, how they coped, and developed. Wild, fierce, yet rigidly disciplined, extremes of character and desire manifesting in bizarre but original ways. I still need to get to grips with Chinese itself, but Japanese in the meantime, will be a bridge for me to get there.

With a full time job, a massage therapy course, plus japanese, and being a full time mum, it's a lot eh? I've been knackered these past two weeks. The only thing I'd change though, is the transformation of my temporary job, to a permanent one, for the guarantee of my revenue stream. But guess what? God gave me this job, I trust Him and walk in His path to get to where He wants me to be.

Jaa ne.
