There is someone at work who is staunch in her stand that no one will treat her less than she deserves. So she built this wall around her making sure that she is respected and treated with dignity. In doing so, however, she alienates herself from others. It is always difficult if we gauge things with our accomplishments, with our education. If that is the case, others will not matter.
Truth is, there is more depth, better things in life than all that.
Aging with joy...jauncing through life, like it's the first time, a great discovery, sharing experiences about my life as an elderly woman. There is joy in aging indeed, there is wisdom earned. The wisdom to believe, to cook brazenly and to eat wisely.

Post hump day...
This week has been busy, almost gruelling, it would have been easier if it was just work, but then there are personalities that act like the world owes them. Don't you hate that, a total vexation of my spirit.
At last night's Bible study though, we read a verse about not talking about others, lest you be judged by God. One of the members was right about an interpretation, about who is the greatest, although John the Baptist is great. I blew that one, posing an idea that is so off, it is funny that someone said, "get off the phone and get on the throne". I made the realization when I was home and alone.
I am waiting for my ride, hence this post. Good use of idle time, my batting average here on wordpress is way too low this month.
Well, let me tell about about a couple who is dear to me, they are planning their wedding, in the huff of their prepration, they got sidetracked of what is important. Attitude unchecked came out riding high. They are back on track and I am happy about that. We are rallying for you guys with Lordy :).
Hope today is better, but I have a deliverable tomorrow, which is going to cut on my play time. Oh well...To be a slave of the moolah...

Looking through the glass window..
As I go through everyday life, I meet others and the pleasure of knowing them. Entrusted sometimes with the story of their lives, not to judge, just to listen. I wince at their pain, look in admiration at how they were able to conquer their battles "still standing". Their sorrows, their burdens, and their joys has given me a greater understanding of life.
In last night's RCIA the kewl Korean - nun, she was wearing jeans and her words were not of the poius nuns that I was so familiar with.. she said boundaries are the transgeression of growth. Makes sense huh, we put barriers, upon barriers around us, for protection, but in the end we sheath ourselves against growth and come out of it ignorant, scared of even saying or standing for our beliefs.
Tiring weekends, leftovers, and spicy Indian food..
Yes, most of my weekend was spent cleaning and doing laundry. Adult tasks that I don't really care for. I almost wish for a previous life where I can use my weekends more productively. Today, I woke up late, missed BYOW, good thing I went to mass yesterday, there was laundry, clearing of leftovers, and cleaning. Now my place is clean almost spotless, laundry is not yet finished, but that can wait.
Anyway, I promised myself that I will be better organized.
So why am I blabbering, uhmm nothing, just being nonsensical, sort of justifying my long absence, I know, I know, you are waiting with bated breath ha ha.. such confidence.
Discovered an Indian restaurant that delivers, woohoo, that is a change but their food is spicier than most, that means I will have to chase a intake with water, not healthy at all.
On top of all the housework that I needed to do, I discovered space that I can use above the cupboard, covered by a singly plywood for aesthetic reasons. So 1 morning I decided to remove the covering and found a place for seldom used pots and pans. Double bonus, I discovered that little space between the refrigerator and the cupboard can hold the baking pans. I can now officially declare that I am efficient packrat..
Hah!

I said this 2 weekends ago, it is just too much, taking time out of play time and the numerous projects that I have set.
