Happy

I didn't sleep well last night and I've had a lot on my mind (work-wise, stress, studying, etc)... However, this video flipped my mood around COMPLETELY this morning as I sipped my coffee. Funny how the small things can make you happy. This makes me happy. I've been humming to myself all morning and even did the dance routine in the washroom. I command you to watch it.

Monday

This blog is for my contemplative moods. I manage two other regular blogs but I'd like to keep this one for personal reflections. Bits and pieces from my life:

1. I'm currently reading Women, Food & God. I'm trying to understand myself.

2. I will NOT allow myself to be affected by negativity. It's so easy to fall into a trap of evil. When I say evil, I'm referring to something that's happening right now involving my brother, tapped phones, and blackmail.

3. I am divorced. It's been over three years, but the pain is so real that I am terrified of opening my heart up to someone knew and getting hurt again. My brain tells me that only love can heal a broken heart, but I'm too afraid to risk it.

4. I read Kelle Hampton's blog and Reagan's Blob. Both are incredible women. Both remind me of how blessed I am to be alive.

5. I am afraid of technology. I am interested in being human.

6. I feel like cooking a wonderful meal and hosting friends. Empanadas & Alfajores.

7. Gwen & I have been obsessing about a recipe for frozen Brazo. Filipinos are so creative when it comes to food.  

8. My sister's baby makes me happy. She's the only other human I will hug & kiss.

9. Coffee makes me happy.

10. I lost 22 pounds.

11. I've been dreaming about New York City lately. Planning a trip there. In the autumn (next year?). I'm already writing down lists of things to do and places to see.
