There's A New Driver in Town

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this day! The sun is finally out, my grumpiness went away with the rain and this time around, I finally drove with less nervousness, calmer demeanor and confidence. Whew! I did it and I loved every minute of it. My apologies to the other drivers though, patience for new drivers like me :D

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I felt gloomy, lazy and irritable over the past few days. It has been raining non stop and I was just getting fed up with the weather and was really missing the sun. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed. Good thing is, our heater's back. For the past two weeks without it, we were cold and my hands were numb from washing dishes with ice cold water but it's back so we're back to being warm and cozy in here.

The rain and my negativity were like the worst combo ever. My negativity is more on my (not having) driving abilities. I am so frustrated with myself right now I want to scream. But I gotta have patience on myself, I gotta relax and just practice. Breathe in, breathe out. Practice makes perfect as they say, we'll see.

The sun is out! It's time to embrace positive vibes, be sunny after my grumpy days. I am still too young for menopause, must really be the weather and the driving :D

All Geared Up

I have been feeling this sense of accomplishment since last week from the time we got our new work permits. That gave me a whole sense of hope and kind of pulled me into the right direction. It just amazed me how in a span of two days, we were able to accomplish a lot. It's probably because of the long months of waiting and feeling displaced, not to mention stressed with regards to our next move or avoiding the reality of having a back up plan just in case the unexpected happens. I could go on and on about our uncertainties but I am feeling positive these days.

I discovered over the weekend that if I condition myself to do something, actually do it and not just ponder doing it, I will certainly achieve something. In my case, passing the driving exam. So now I have these goals that I want to meet before the year ends. I pray for strength and guidance, I am all psyched up and excited as well!

Hubby's been teaching me how to drive too, I am still struggling on this aspect and probably a long way from being an accomplished driver but for such a nervous wreck like me, it's still a HUGE achievement. It's gonna be a slow and grueling process but I'm just glad I was able to will myself to do something I originally never wanted to do, actually swore that I wouldn't do but finally did or at least trying my best to :D
