A wrist watch

Gee-just reading through some of my posts and I need to work on my writing a tad.
I write very long sentences not placing in the appropriate grammar hence some of the sentences don’t make sense! This I find bizarre as I am so quick to correct others in their style of writing. ANYHOO-I was just thinking isnt is amazing that when one does not wear a watch for the day you feel an extra sense of relaxation. One gets so used to glaring at your wrist every now and then and this of course adds on the pressure to your day to get things done. I recently had my battery die in my watch that I wear to work(yes I have a week day watch and my weekend range ;) ) and I had to manage a week without a watch on at work. I have memories of this happening before and I couldn’t beare a day without a watch feeling so lost. It seems at this time in my life it was more of a positive while at work as I felt I still got my stuff done but not feeling as pressured. Yes I do have the time on my pc and the wall clock in the office but somehow this wrist watch can have such an influence on your day. How do you feel about this?

Persistence in positive thinking in believing in what I want

Well I have been concentrating and persisting at mastering the art of living in the moment and for the day and embrassing what this life has to offer. Of course with the help of reading quotes and snippets of Robin Sharmas' books it aids me along.
This past week I have had some awesome moments of reaping the benefits of lots of positive thoughts in the morning as I drive to work and I have been talking to myself(no I aint crazy) telling myself what I want to achieve from my day. This week seemed so magical AND my director called me in with two snippets of fantastic news to do with me in the workplace. Patience and hope I feel really pays at times.

Last week I had a really special and peaceful time in Mossel Bay at my aunty Maryannes. We had lots of deep conversations and discovered alot about each other. It was so good to see that my aunt has retired and is spending her time in a beautiful place which she deserves. I had such an amazing time watching sunrises,walks on the beach,watched the cooking channels,watched other sorts of fun programmes and got to read my book AND got spoilt with my aunts good food.

I am so thrilled so see my mum in such a beautiful place right now-she is beaming and is a totally different person since the good news re her health and she is loving her time spent in JHB.She also got to spend a weekend of QT with Aroon and Zsa and it seemed to be good for each of their souls. I so wish I could be there for Adam and Zaras bday celebrations this year but I am afraid it wont happen but I am going to strive for planning for next year. My nephews and niece are growing up so beautifully and I cant wait till we next meet.

Another beautiful weekend

Well I sit here and can feel I over indulged this week on the eating!!!! Oh well got to be strict on myself this week BUT ok ok I have to indulge at the fine dining dinner on wed night. ;) On friday night I got to go to fashion week on the spur of the moment and got to scout out some smodels and some local celebs. Saturday I spent with my boet and good friends at a braai which took us till our next invite at Maheshs place for games and pizza. A lovly fulfilling day yet again. Today I gymed(did a yoga class after a while) and a small burst of cardio. Spent the day watching "Valkyrie" and had a good nap and now am on my way to "dinner and a movie' with my boet. Yippeee!

A posting on the incorrect blog from the 1st Aug

I dont get to check my mail often or log onto the internet but just want to say all is well and I am doing fine. Mum has a few things creeping up here and there with her health which is rather concerning but I am coping with it better than I thought and I guess its because we have such a great support system going with a good driver to the finances etc. (Thanks Zsa) Been out shopping for groceries for bookclub for this week so am pooped as I was up at 6am-dont know why!!!!! Going home to hang washing now and chill. Cant wait! (Seems I posted this onto the other one in error)

Another beautiful weekend in Cape Town

This awesome feeling carried through this weekend as well! Is it the vitamins,my little bit of gyming(cant be as I have slacked this week)or is it my new aproach this week of making an effort more so of living in the now and being more conscious of speaking my mind and spreading Sues love out there to those that matter??Well whatever it is lets hope it lasts long. I somehow feel like I have these new eyes-weird but true. I have always been one to be positive,cherish my loved ones,set goals and all of that but more so this week I have had this injection of all these things again. LOVING IT! My gratitude journal is going well and I have found it has been awesome at the end of the day to sit in bed and reflect on all that one was grateful for during that day and by doing this I think more its in my face and a reminder that one must cherish these lifes pleasures. This weekend was well balanced with spending time with friends,baking,a bit of gyming,me time over a coffee watching the passing scene in Kloof street and today a bit of cooking. It was awesome to cook up some breakies and be creative with my dish and share this with my boet. Pure bliss! We finished off with a movie today and this evening we have a siblings conference call. Fingers crossed that all goes well ;).

What a beautiful weekend

I had that feeling after a long time re-surface in me where I had constant company and I am not sure if its a feeling of security or what it is?? How does one describe it? Anyhoo it was total fun and being at ease with a good friend.My long weekend kicked off with hosting bookclub on thursday night. A successful night of chicken pasta,farmhouse brownies and good company and wine. We finished off real late as we spent a lot of time chatting and chatting and then reviewing more books than usual as some had not been the month before so reviewed more than the usual amount of books.My very good friend Tatum arrived the next morning and so our girly weekend began. A weekend of pure decadence and indulgence in wining and dining. Wow what a time we had and sealed it off with some pampering at the Librisa Spa. It was so good to have a girlfriend spend some time with me-I really miss it. We chatted and chatted and chatted and with Tatum we talk a lot about the meaning of life and reflect and share a lot about our lives. Today Adhil has come back from 5 weeks away and it was awesome to suprise pick him up at the airport and then have some lunch and a catch up with him and his buddies. My LONG weekend is drawing to an end.....oh well.....I have had a lot to jot down in my gratitude journal which I started this week. I intend to each night jot down 3 points that I was grateful for during the day.

2 weeks in

Well it sure has been 2 weeks in my place and it is slowly starting to feel like my home. I have been enjoying it. I have learnt that I aint always going to have energy to do that hand washing on a week day night so best I start saving incentive points!!! Its not all that bad though as its mainly my uniform and weekend clothes but I tell its the towels that take it out of you but I look at it as an added calorie burner! LOL This last week has been great with a bit of yoga,gym and I had a friend over for dinner. I am also learning how much to buy for one or two when cooking but seems you cant totally avoid waste.I was so thrilled to hear that at last Aroon and Adhil got to see Zsas' place and she had then over for yummy croissants and breakies. I SO wish I was there. You know how much I love family time which reminds me I have not heard from both my boets too much for a while now. A few words here and there with Dills but I miss having him around. Anyway hoping to hear from them soon. Glad Zsa and family are in Durbs who I have been in touch with. Mum must have having a good time spending time with her kiddies and grand children. So relieved that mums flu is on its way out! I was starting to really worry. Anyway a new week awaits me....time to go home now after that amazing ashtanga class and cook a stir fry with my left over veggies.Thinking of watching "Frieda" Or "Amelie"(for the 7th time or something silly) now.
