one pot full

After a long week of break from work, computers and training, my body feels sluggish this morning as I prepped myself for a short spin on the trainer. A pure week of indulgence and lumbering around, I simply fall into a state of “nuah-ness”.

The time off gave me moments to reflect through the time which has passed, the time I am living for now, and the time that is to come. Sighing to the things I wish I have done and had, envisaging the things that are to come which I must grasp.

Before we went into slumber last night, I whispered to mr guava, our lives is a long race – It’s not about how fast we sprint at the start but more about starting slow, maintaining a good pace and staying in the race. We are ultramarathoners! Long distance is our forte. =)

So it’s back to work today..back to training..and gearing up for the challenges to come.

After some consideration, I will hang on to the rl job as I do want to save extra for the upcoming trips. The honest fact is my full time job doesn’t give me a pay I can grin about; but to be grateful, it is suffice for survival. On the maslow’s hierarchy of needs, it fundamentally fulfills our basic needs but doesn’t come close to the peak of self-realisation.

I found myself unknowingly googling on “how to earn more money”. It’s always the moolah issue. Are we any happier if we had more of it? or would we be starve if we had lesser of it?

In our small little ways, it’s pure joy to see our savings grow gradually. Sedikit sedikit, lama lama, jadi bukit. (little by little, bit by bit, it grows into a hill). Though I don’t see the numbers jump a few folds but like water trickling in, I know it’ll fill our bowls full.
