Where are the Cali sunshine? I miss them so much… Everyone talks about the perfect California weather and the year round warmth, but it is so not true. The past weeks have been cold and wintery. Although I admit, it is not as freezing as New York and Beijing around this time, it is nonetheless not the sunny California that people enviously speak of. In fact, there is no sunny winter in sight in the next week to come…. Fine, this past Saturday was not so bad… I actually enjoyed the sunshine for the very brief moment that it decided to show up in the midst of the countless rainy and overcast days. But before I can even put my shorts on, the rain had already come back. ;(
Ok, this is beginning to sound too depressing and whiny… I’m going to stop now. The coin always has 2 sides. The brighter side of all these are, of course, the simple pleasures that unfortunately only weathers like now tend to remind us; the hot chicken soups that I’ve been enjoying making, and enjoying even more drinking from the floor of my living room. Sipping hot tea, cozying-up on the sofa, snuggling in bed, wearing the big fuzzy scarf that my Mom had made me, having a home with a running heater, my tall rain boots, all these remind me of how fortunate I am to have a warm home and a life filled…
It’s soooooo cold… January 28, 2008
New Year’s Resolution? January 2, 2008
I don’t usually get suckered into the hype of making New Year’s resolutions. I don’t see much point in doing that. If I hope or decide to do something, then I should just do it. There’s no rule that I have to wait until New Year’s to do it. Besides, whatever this wish or determination may be, if it’s going to be challenging, it won’t get any easier just because I committed myself to doing it on New Year’s day… So you see, I don’t have a New Year’s resolution again…
But, this is really not to say that I don’t have any hopes or ambitious set forth for myself this year. I think its both healthy and productive to make small goals for myself in a given amount of time. This way I can constantly know what I’m working towards, and therefore have a sense of purpose in life. Besides, when the goal is reached, however small or big it may be, that sense of accomplishment is also necessary to help keep the positive outlook that I like to have on life.
Anyhow, the goal for 2008 is, sell 1000 Ren Duvets… No, I’m not greedy, just hungry!
