The Joy of Writing

it's been a long time since i wrote, maybe because i couldn't find my half a dozen blogs i started. it's a jungle out here on the internet. or maybe because i have heaps of other work to do. "real" work that crowds out fun work like writing. but here and now, away from everything i have and need to do, i turn back to the solace of writing. i'm away not by choice and not entirely by chance either. it's a choice i had to make considering the turn of events. but anyway, it's good, that i get to read and write. the very basic of skills we teach our young, the measure of intelligence, and yet, how often do we indulge in this comforting, stimulating pleasure. so go on, try reading for fun. seriously,a good book CAN be more fun than the movie version...

the climb

Again and again, at every turn, at every corner, all the way along this climb to the peak of my potential, I hear that it's all about the climb. Success is a journey they say, not really the destination. It's the climb Hannah croons, easy for her to say that from way up on her summit. So is it the climb that matters as I push towards the top? Is it really the journey that's more important as I head towards my destination of success? Maybe it is. So here's to enjoying journeys, to living in the present, even if we have the future in mind. Here's to taking time to appreciate the view, at whatever height. The breathtaking view may be from the top, but the fun stuff is along the way.

too old for my age

i was given the shocking diagnosis today that my metabolic age ( i didn't even know i had a metabolic age) was more than 10 years older than my actual age. i just celebrated a 30 ish bday, and was actually quite enjoying my age, revelling in my beauty, charm, intelligence, accompalishments. and then like a hot potato, i was given this terrible news. sigh, a much needed wake up call indeed. so there, now i need to get my metabolic age down, my face to look younger, n my kids to act older. but i can do it, i'll do the walks n diet n the whole routine, n hope my metabolic age gets younger than i am.
