Why do good things have to end?
Oh my goodness it has been a long while since I've blogged. Funnily enough it took someone to mention that I seem to have so much time to both 'blog' and 'facebook' (the new time-waster) to remind me that I haven't blogged in a long time.
So the theme for the post today is saying goodbye to people.
It's a sad thing, but is it more sad because you are being selfish?
Let me place the scene before I carry on...a lot of people from work are leaving this month due to taking redundancy. Now the place I work isn't so great...actually to put it nicely, it's just a place to get paid for showing up. So I guess if i had to choice to get a whole bunch of money to move on, I would take it...Obviously the people are moving onto bigger and better things and they are being positive about it. I will miss them greatly and I don't know what it will be like when they all disappear. I think it will be an even more miserable existence there...
On a positive note, I'm finally leaving for overseas in a week and a bit. I'm looking forward to it - and getting to spend some quality time with the parentals which I haven't done really since I have got back from the UK. We're going to Kuala Lumpur, Bandar Seri Begawan and Singapore for about 9 days. A quick whip around asia, but it's nice to be going to places I haven't been to before!!
Since last post also, I have been house sitting for M. who went travelling to Europe (and getting engaged while over there!). Thanks M. for letting me stay at yours...it was so nice to be closer to the city and just the general 'not-caring' attitude made it so simple. Yeah...i'm back home now and once tafe break is on i'll be seriously looking at finding somewhere to move out to.
Speaking of engagements...is it just me or is it the 'flava of the month' to get pregnant or get engaged? It's making me feel like OMG I am getting old...and even worse it's making me feel like I'm missing the boat and it's quickly sailing away. But this thought lasted all of one-week and now I'm back to my usual..."too much to do still" mood.
I've been trying to come up with a mantra that I can say to get in touch with my 'positive-self' when I need to. But it's really hard to come up with a saying that is applicable ALL the time, and is short and punchy. Does anyone have one? Does it make you feel better?
