Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day, my former partners at work came to visit me and Mendell.  Ever since I left the company, I have kept in touch with these lovely folks.  It was so refreshing to see them and I had the flashbacks of all the kind things that they had done to make my job easier!  I miss our collaboration and had longed to work with them again.  

I reflected on all the good things that happened to me this year and I couldn't be more grateful.

I thank God for:
(1) My husband and our loving marriage
(2) Blessing us with Mendell
(3) My family 
(4) Best friends & good friends
(5) Good rest during my pregnancy period
(6) Breast milk
(7) My unexpected new job
(8) All the good people around me 
(9) My gifts & talents
(10) New perspective about life - Everyday counts!

According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
