Relaxing weekend !

=) It's amazing what a good weekend can do you for your soul, you know? The weather has been delightful this weekend…low humidity, nightly lows around 60s and daytime highs in the 80s, plus lots of sun! I spend Friday the 13th w/ my sister and niece at Great Mall. A little shopping, dinner at Dave and Buster, then the movies, afterward we stayed at DayInns in Milpitas. Nothing fancy, but it wasn’t bad. Yes, we could have easily saved some $$ and drove home in 45 mins. However I didn’t want to drive back to San Jose flea market the next say, beside gas ain’t cheap. We went to the San Jose Flea Market on Saturday and basically took our time. Can’t belive that it’s been almost 9 years since I‘ve last been there. I didn’t buy much, just browsing around. Somehow buying junks doesn’t seem as appealing as before.

We were planning to go to Valley Fair, since it’s been almost 5 years and I’ve heard it changed a lot- then again I hate shopping mall on the week ends, the lines are just too long. So we just went home and relax. I don’t know when I have had a more enjoyable or relaxing weekend!

=) I definitely need to do this again!

My "aha" moment !

What the hell is wrong w/ me? What happen to that Cindy who craves changes and love to learn?
Some people are afraid of change b/c changes can be difficult and scary. Change should be looked upon as a good thing; unfortunately many of us prefer the safe unchanging option. I never thought I was one of these people that were afraid of changes. I soon realized that somewhere along the way, I gotten so comfortable w/ life itself that I didn’t accept any changes that came my way nor search for any new changes. All I do is worry or whine about, making excuses for my lazy ass- basically wasting a lot time. I don’t want to be stuck now as I am for the rest of your life.

I know life is change; I need to welcome changes and expect changes. It is bound to happen. Whether good, bad, difficult, destructive, even change in our daily routines. So instead of waiting for changes to happen, I’m going to make the changes happen. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy quick fix. I know I’m going to face challenges but I will not let this paranoia grip my life, I’m going deal with change as it comes.

OK, I know this is weird. My "aha" moment was when I was in the shower 2 months ago, it just hit me that "life isn't as serious as my mind makes it out to be" as Eckhart mentioned in his book. (I still need to find time to read the book.) I had heard all my life, oh it's not that serious but I have never heard it put this way and now this makes so much sense to me. I have a way of making things much more than they are in my head. Everything just clicked that very moment and all I can say is wow! Wow! Can’t believe a book can have such positive outlook. (Don’t take life so seriously. Lighten up. Be easy on yourself. Smile more. Laugh often. =) If not, all I can say F*** it.)
