Reflecting...
Today… I feel much better!!!
Feel so happy to wake up in the morning without feeling sick! The taps are still running but at least, the head isn’t spinning and neither is the temperature skyrocketing!
All in all, I think I’m getting better! Guess it must have been the XXL bowl of chicken rice soup and Vitamin C tablets! And loads of rest and sleep?
I used to have a nurse who shoves down ginger and honey down my throat but she doesn’t come around anymore. She seems to be preoccupied! What to do?
In times of need, we tend to reflect… more because, there’s time to reflect on your personal life and not on work! I reflect on friends this time… who stands by you and who doesn’t? Some just tend to disappear from your lives and appear in others’…. That’s the case with 2 of my friends now. They both got attached, so to speak.
Oh well.. that brings me to think of the definition of friends. We’d spoken about this at Sister Early’s place the other night and it was strange how each person defined it differently. It kind of depended on how much value you put into a friend. Some don’t put much. Some put a lot! And for those who put a lot, it’s saddening to know that the friend you placed so much value on, didn’t do the same for you.
Life pretty much goes on… with or without friends, doesn’t it?
But, there’s something to keep anyone going and that’s family!
They’re always there for you… aren’t they? But we don’t tend to put as much value to family than we ought to and when it’s time to reflect, they come first in line! Why is that?
Nevertheless, I go home next week and I’m really looking forward to that more than anything else right now. We’re moving into the new house and that’s exciting for all of us I guess. Thathi has put so much into it that I almost feel guilty going back just to move in. It’s not the cash I refer to but the effort and the patience to carry on for the sake of the whole family. I’m proud of you Thathi… and I am proud to be your daughter!
And this time I go, I don’t intend to shed as much tears. Anyway, don’t think I’d be shedding tears all around the island, would I? ok… I’d rather not think about it. It’s another long story all together. Not good to start on that now. May be some other time or no time would even be better!!!
For now… let’s think of something else… hmmm… aha…:
