It's 11pm and I'm wide awake. My husband and daughter are sleeping. I don't mind staying up late since we are already on leave; there's no pressure to wake up early.
It has been a while.
A few years back, I decided to create this blog so I can express my ramblings and rants freely without having anyone suffer with the endless and sometimes irrational feedback that I always say. It's like my sounding board; my shoulder to cry on; my personal psychologist. All my opinions and feelings are freely expressed here, and these are my opinions that I don't have the guts to tell anyone personally. I have no intention of letting any of my friends know about this blog since, as I have said, I don't want anyone to suffer reading through all that useless crap.
But I never got to writing more than 5 posts. But that doesn't mean that I am now living a peaceful and problem-free life. Well sure, I am more than happy with my husband and my daughter, who is growing up to be a very healthy and beautiful daughter. But, you know, life, it's not easy. It has constantly presented us with challenges and obstacles that,without the help and motivation of my loving husband, I would have completely lost it. I never got to write in here again because... well, I don't know. I just forgot about it?
Anyway, fast forward to today and I have decided (while taking a shower - yes, as in all life-changing decisions are usually made while in the shower) to revive this blog and rename it "The Gratitude Project". The obstacles and challenges are continuously being hurled at us and, as everyone would agree, it would be too draining if I always focus entirely on the negative. Believe me, for me, it is not an easy feat. It is VERY DIFFICULT! But I need to shift my state of mind - something that I should have done YEARS ago - and I believe this would be a start. Instead of writing about the bad, write about the good. Not only would writing about the things that I am thankful for make me feel better during the difficult times, but in the future, I, along with my family, would reread my posts and say "yeah, we had fun!"
