Work and Holidays

I know I promised myself I will not talk about work but I am such a workaholic, so how can I help it? Ha-ha!

Life is a roller coaster ride for me these days and I expect a much faster ride in the next two weeks. With my time divided among activities that include helping with the preparation for our summer outing (that’s fast approaching, by the way), preparing for a 5-day training that immediately follows the summer outing, adjusting to the changes in our loan approval structure giving me sole approval authority for some loans and mentoring an understudy (for a month!), my head is already spinning! 

During the long holidays (the Season of Lent, weekend, and National Heroes Day) I consciously refrained from touching my work-plate. I chose to spend my five glorious days resting, praying, meditating, and having a good time with my children, my parents, siblings and relatives. We celebrated Easter Sunday at the beach- swimming, playing volleyball, grilling fresh fish, talking, laughing our hearts out, eating, eating and eating. It was a once in a blue moon gathering that I truly cherish so I really stopped myself from doing any work. Did the 5 free-from-work-days pay off? Yes Sir, they did! I have never felt so peaceful and so rested in quite a while.

Now am back to work and my reality is staring at me straight in the eye. After the long break, things have piled up and I feel like am back to square one, but who cares? I guess am still not THAT busy, because you see, I could still squeeze in a few minutes of my time to blog about my holidays, lol.
