Life is good!

My previous post were pretty sad but it is interesting how things can change in a short one month. I feel happy somehow for the past 2 weeks or so...I can't exactly point out what it is but suddenly I feel contented with my life.

I have started exercising on a regularly basis since March and I'm quite surprised that I'm actually disciplined enough to maintain it for the past 5 months! If you know me back in school, I am not the kind of athlete that will be discipline enough to do my own workout, especially after a full day's work. During this period, I can see myself slowly gaining my fitness back and getting more toned body. But apart from these tangible effects, I find myself handling stress better and start getting my long lost lame-to-the-core humor back (I think this is because my mind is more alert and quick).

Somehow I feel like I've been able to spend some time with different groups of friends and I really enjoy their companies. I didnt realise that there are so many interesting people around me and it is really fun hanging out with them. Although I can't say I have like one group of close friends, after Nicole left, I didnt think it is possible to find anyone else already. I don't need anyone to take Nicole's place also but it is really nice to have great company and to know that they do enjoy my company too. I've been keeping in touch with my friends more via Facebook and it's really nice to be able to keep myself updated on what's up with my friends even though we are unable to meet up.

In June-July, I was extremely unhappy at work. There was alot of negativity surrounding me when it comes to work. But little did I know that just a short getaway once in a while does wonders to the mind. And slowly I start to see that actually my work allows me alot of flexibility, although it doesnt seem like much prospects but whatever high position and high salary you get, you are really exchanging a larger part of your life for it. I'm not saying we shouldn't work hard, you should but you need to know how much of your life you want to give it for work. Comparing to some of my peers, they might be getting a higher more glamorous work but there are sacrifices they have to make. So now I'm actually starting to appreciate the nature of my work and how my job allows me to do other things outside my work.

Then when I think about my life, seriously there isn't anything that I need to worry about. My love ones are healthy and happy, I got a place to stay and I dun have to worry about the huge bank loan, I have free transport to work and back home everyday (so I can do my workout after work!!), I can go for holiday when i want to....what more can I ask for right?

I'm fortunate and I am thankful for it.
