FROM 2013 TO 2014

Saturday, January 11, 2014

Today is Saturday afternoon, the 11th. As I am off from work, but not so with my husband. He already left early in the morning to work today. I have been spending my time to relax a lot today. So, I thought I would write something on my blog here to use this time I am blessed to rest. Also, it has been so long since my last post.


However, I honestly have no idea what I should write about. Is it because there is nothing interesting I should keep it here or share with others? Or is it because there are so many things that I don't really know which one to begin with? Probably somewhere in between.

I used to love writing when I was in middle school. I remember that we had to write an essay, in Indonesian, in the every final exams at the end of the semesters. When that time came, I was always so relaxed and wrote even a longer essay than we were required to, very easily, while many of my friends were complaining. However, once I got into college, I was a bit startled. It was not so bad during my ESL class. But once I got into the regular writing classes, where most of my classmates were American born, I somehow had a great difficulty in writing. However, luckily I passed the 2 writing classes anyway. I was quite happy at that moment. But nowadays, when I think of it, I want to be able to master up my writing skill again as I used to back in high school. So, should I go back to school and take some writing classes again? Oh no, I don't think I am up to it yet. Having to do the assignments once a week with a new topic, where each topic took me at least a whole day to figure out how to start. It wasn't fun at all. So, here I am, trying to improve my writing skill through blogging. :)

Since it's now already the 11th day of 2014. I would like to start this with what I have done so far in 2014. Let's start counting God's blessing.

1. I got an offer for a full time position in the hospital I have been working at on Dec. 29, 2013, which means, I will get health insurance for both my husband and myself. Aside from that, is the paid time off during holidays, 12 vacation days, and sick days. I am surely not looking forward to the last one, since no one would like to get sick. But with this grace, I am more relieved if I really, really have to stay home and rest when I need to, and not worry about anything else.

2. The weather recently has been very frigid. Ever since several days before Christmas last year, New York have already had 3 snow storms. I was so terrified on the first snow storm, as I had to drive home from work. At first, I thought it would not be that bad.  However, once I hit the road, I started becoming anxious as my car wasn't easily controlled because of the slippery road. So, my husband and I, along with my brother, agree for us to get a new car.  So, hopefully, we will find one soon, as I am still searching.

3. I have been thinking of what I should do this year. My husband will be going back to school for about 2 years. And besides doing my current job, what should I do for a better future? I will have to study hard for my pharmacy tech certification exam for now, and "not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." (Matthew 6:34)

4, 5, 6, 7, ..... :) :) :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! :)
