The New Early Morning Me

By
Ever since the kids started attending this new tuition center, we've had to adjust our schedule and sleeping hours. I've had to prepare lunch for them to take to school too because there isn't a canteen in school like before. So, it means waking up early in the morning to prep the food and lunch boxes. 

Because of this I've also stopped drinking at night. And this has been life-changing. 

I can't have a drink before I sleep because waking up at 6am would, then, be close to impossible. 

However, it is absolutely so refreshing to wake up early in the morning to greet the sun as it creeps up in the horizon. To be awake to hear the birds chirping away their morning greetings, to hear the cock crow in the distance, to smell the untainted morning air, to watch as the buildings from afar come alight. 

With that said, it's Friday today and you know what that means? A day I permit myself a drink or two! Yay!

Throughout 2017 and now, I've learned that I really don't like the feeling of a hangover, really. The stress that I must have put my body and mind through just to recover from the onslaught the night before every single day. How did I trudge through all of that?

Like they say, things happen for a reason and for me to fall sick is one. It was my body was rejecting the shit that I have been putting into it and my mind desperately putting me back on the right track. 

I think I kind of like this new early morning me. If only I didn't start feeling like I miss my bed so much by lunch time. LOL We can't have it all, I guess. There's always a trade off.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
