Time Flies!

A few more hours and it's February and just like that, a whole month is gone.  Before you know it, Christmas carols will once again permeate everywhere! Yeah, time can fly by like that.  I know because 2012 was such a blur to me!

But this year I am trying to slow down a bit and appreciate the life I have. After all, it was the main reason why I decided to take a leap of faith and leave my corporate job.

I've been taking baby steps and so far so good. One of the things I've managed to do was time management when it comes to the business. I do my best to be productive during business hours so that I can enjoy time with my family outside of those hours. Weekends and holidays are also sacred now and no amount of money offered will make me work on a weekend. Sorry.

It's not easy but doable. I now have the time to read and blog again! Woohoo! In fact I already finished John Green's "The Fault in our Stars" (which is a great book, by the way). I have other books lined up already!

So yeah, time flies but I ain't speeding with it. I am slowing down and savoring the journey.  February, I welcome you with open arms. Bring it on!

IS IT TIME TO WORK FROM HOME?

Today was great.  The husbo and I went out on a simple date. We just went to a nearby mall and shopped to our heart's content (a.k.a until our pockets were empty LOL!). It's a good thing most of the stores were offering items on sale. We were two happy shoppers!  

This was the second date in two days and I am just happy.  Please pardon the shallowness, but when your work schedules only allow you to see each other 2 days in a week, you treasure the times you spend together - every single minute of it. No matter how simple, even if it's just eating breakfast together or waking up beside each other is already something to be thankful for.

Which really makes me think about my plans for next year - of quitting my job and just work from home full time.  It's a daunting thought and there's a lot to consider but so far, the pros outweigh the cons.
