Today I was happy that I managed to wake up slightly earlier and not start off the day in a mad frenzy.
What a difference that made. Psychologically, I felt more in control of the time I had and the decisions I make.
Work was ok, one of the colleagues is taking a week break from work, so I'm hoping not too much comes through this week. But yeah, there's still lots to learn and grasp so I can start contributing effectively and at a faster rate.
Yesterday was a good holiday. The other half was back at work to rush out some deadlines, so I headed for the beach with my family. We went to Changi Beach at around 5 plus, and the setting sun was really quite pretty. I actually brought my camera to snap some pics of the boys in action, but it wasn't charged so I couldn't take any in the end. Poo.
But a maternal instinct somewhat surfaced when we were by the shore enjoying the waves, when I saw my nephew's tiny toes partially submerged in the sand. Seeing that was picture perfect - so indescribable, as you appreciate God's creation in that tiny being. It must have been one of the most beautful things I've seen of late. Just that image itself melts my heart - who would have thought, right? I guess these are the small things in life which you truly get to enjoy once you have kids of your own.
In the meantime, I'll just enjoy these moments from afar, whenever the boys come around for play. :)
Life's good.
