Heard about the blog and book "1000 Awesome Things"? I just learned about it recently (*facepalm*). As the name says, it lists the small, taken-for-granted yet AWESOME things around us. I visited the blog and it makes me grateful and happy where I am.
#25 Awesome thing: Kindergarten class photos. Remember your first ever class picture? :)
I have a thing for peacocks. Whenever Hubby and I are in a zoo, I strike a pose with a peacock. Haven't got one where his feathers are shown in all its glory though. I love its cobalt blue feathers that turns emerald green at the end.
Dreaming of our future house, I want to incorporate some peacock influences in the decor.
A carpet perhaps?
A cross stitch on the wall?
Dinners on Mondays look like this plate.I'm trying to live up to the Meatless Monday campaign. I want to live and eat healthier. Don't get me wrong. I lurve my meats but I have to consciously make the decision to skip eating them on Mondays. Even for one day a week, I can curb my carnivorous side.
What do you do with those 5- and 10-centavo coins? Leave them in a coin jar or piggy bank? Put them somewhere around the house? Me, I keep them in a small box. After a few years, that small box is brimming with these copper-colored coins.
I thought about what I could do with them since I have accumulated lots of them. I can bring them to the bank but they're not light to bring. While browsing through DIY blogs, I saw pennies used to create a wall art (another one here), decorate a whole wall, and even the floor! I can do the same thing. Not the wall or the floor thing, but the wall art.
I'm at a point where I'm thinking about what to do in a few months. God-willing, we will be able to construct our house by August or September, before Hubby arrives. He aspires that by that time, I have left work in the city to manage a small business in the province or pursue a work-at-home career. Much better he said if I can just focus on our future family life since he can provide for all our needs. The last statement is very tempting, but as my late Nanay (grandma) said, women should work so you don't need to ask your husbands to pay for your makeup and whatnots.
A friend told me that it's easy for me to do any of those options. Unlike her, she said she has "no choice" but to stay working in an office that overworks but is unappreciative (financially and emotionally) of her. She has two kids and her husband's income is not that big. She can't change companies anytime soon just because she's unhappy with her current work.
It got me thinking. Does having kids give you no option for change career-wise? Will you be really tied down to whatever gives you income eventhough it sucks the joy out of you?
