“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – Andre Gide
I am so happy and grateful to have a mask to stop me getting Covid and to stop breathing the pollution at this time of year.
I am so happy and grateful for the times Amy threw cold water on me in the shower those times. It still makes me chuckle and I can hear her laughing now.
I am so happy and grateful for all the things I’ve learned from all the different people I have invited into my life. Sometimes it takes me a while to actually understand the lesson but I get there in the end.
Last night I had a moment of clarity in understanding who I am. Of course, I can’t remember it this morning but as it is coming into my consciousness I know I will find it again. I am so happy and grateful for this long journey I have been on.
I am so happy and grateful to be sitting in a cafe during my work time.
I am so happy and grateful that I started to learn how to play the guitar last year. It is stretching my capabilities to learn something new and I’m enjoying it despite getting stuck occasionally.
I am so happy and grateful that I can easily take a day off work when I’m sick.
I am so happy and grateful for all the students who want to learn from me. They make teaching worthwhile.
I am so happy and grateful to be tested by life every day. I can get myself growing mentally, and now also physically.
I am so happy and grateful for the few minutes I got to spend with our neighbour’s puppies a couple of months ago. They jumped all over me and covered me in dirt. Sadly one of them got hit by a truck last night and died. The remaining puppy (Tangmo) will be very sad but I hope it can live a longer life.
I am so happy and grateful for the heating in my car this morning. I didn’t even know that it could warm the car I just thought it was for cooling.
The best thing that happened today was watching one of my classes just get on with doing some work without much complaint. I was spellbound for a few minutes. I only had to tell them once and they got on with it. The feeling didn’t last for long but I certainly enjoyed it.
I am so happy and grateful for my nice pen and writing books. They encourage me to write down my thoughts.
The best thing that happened today was helping out in JJ’s classroom and helping Irene with her work. She’s a smart girl but will leave the school at the end of this semester to go to an engineering school because her family has a building business.
She told me she is the firstborn so she has to take over the business. I think that she is capable. It made me happy to help her and some others in that class.
I am so happy and grateful to be reminded how lucky my life is now and how much I owe to my mother for all her hard work. I will try not to complain about anything.
I have not managed to achieve much of the 4 goals I had this week though achieved other things instead. Those goals have been on my mind and I have got some ideas but time sort of ran out over the weekend. I didn’t even play much Xbox.
The best thing that happened today was enjoying reading Dostoevsky quietly in the office before I had to teach. After that, I had photocopied documents for my work permit, and then I still had time to go for a blood test and get new photos in the afternoon.
My work environment is very enjoyable at the moment. I’m going to stick with the same goals as last time and hope to start on drawing soon.
