Hello World,
My day was pretty awesome today, though nothing special really happened. I think I have learnt to be satisfied and be happy no matter how worse the times are. And I am getting successful in handling the toughest phase of my life quiet well, these days. Some days (and nights especially) are much tougher than rest other days, but I am HANGING in here and holding on to the belief that everything happens for a reason (and a good reason).
Here's what I did this morning! I am too lazy to type in here, so I am sharing a snapshot of my tweets!
Here's the conversation between mom and me today!
Me: Mom!! Guess what?
Mom: What?
Me: Sru left her clothes in the dryer! I am going to iron them!!
Mom: NO. NOOO. Please don't do that. You will end up burning her clothes. She will be mad at you. She is already having a long week, Please leave her alone.
Me: Ok
When mom says No, I have to take it as an yes, right?! So yep, I did iron Sru's clothes! Guess what? No burnt skin or burnt clothes at the end of my ironing task!
I updated my Skype status to 'Happy Day' today. I was talking to one of my recruiters on skype, who pretty much became more of a friend as we interact almost everyday since a couple of months. This lady noticed my 'Happy Day' update, and said in a very cheerful way that things were going to work out in my favor and that everyday is going to be like my skype update. This little talk with her made me realize that when we stay positive, it effects not only us in a good way but also the people around us. :)
By afternoon, my symptoms of headache and tingly nose worsened! Mom told me I might have cold. I am pretty much EXCITED to have cold, since it's been like a year or more since I got sick or cold. Sometimes we take our health for granted and a little sickness is good, as it helps us to appreciate the importance of being healthy and well. I also had to make a
vine about this <-- click here to see it.
I did treadmill for 45 minutes ( 2 + miles), no running (since my knees are hurting from yesterdays workout) and did some abs exercises (ball crunches--> my favorite) though I least wanted to exercise. It's really tough to not quit exercising when the numbers on the scale does not change, isn't it?! Well, I am trying to keep myself motivated and not give up anytime soon with my fitness goals. :)
I shoveled the snow on our driveway, which took me more than an hour. It would have taken one more hour, if it was not for a very kind young man who helped me shovel off the last few heaps of snow.
I bundled up as I went to shovel the snow but I was sweating profusely as I shoveled that it felt nice to have a naked face! I think my cold is for real. :P
Fruits+Vegetable juice I had after a hard one hour of shoveling the snow. All I ate until evening was cheerios for breakfast and this glass of juice. I have to stop skipping my meals and stop being lazy. :~{
Alright, that is it for now. I am doing my laundry and I still got to fold the clothes and put them back in my closet. I am all ready to get done with it and sleeeeeeeeep! It feels like a long long day yet there are many (MANY) tasks I need to finish.
Stay safe, stay calm!
Love,
