Day 110: 7/19/2018

Getting up at a set alarm time routine is coming back gradually. I started my off right and the rest was filled with work, work, and work.

I taught in the morning, in the afternoon and directly after I finished the second class, I jumped off straight to work at the restaurant.

On the one hand, all the work was fulfilling and I felt incredible. On the other, I admit that it was not easy for me to accept that another day has flown by.

The reality is that I need some other aspects in life and I need to earn for a living as well. So, I am left with all these feelings — both really pleasant and not very positive ones — and am desperate to find the balance here. I suppose this is life and this is the very heart of what makes life meaningful.

Anyway, I am happy that I will work for the whole day tomorrow.

Work-wise, I might have to modify my work plan to suit the changing situation a bit. This is purely based on my own thinking as I have read the readings and has totally nothing to do with my personal life.

One thing I am thankful for today (and many other days like this) was that no matter how tired I am at the end of the day, I still have hope and deeply believe that tomorrow will be a great day!
