Your Monday Blues is getting from bad to worse... when you still wake up at 5 o'clock on Monday morning, walking to the mirror and telling yourself; you love Monday and you love your job, despite it is your day-off! And this scary thing is happening to me!!! Don't laugh at me okay, it is better for me do beat the Monday Blues on a positive note by telling myself I love Monday and I love my job to the mirror than throwing my slippers at the alarm clock right? Otherwise, why not tell me how you beat the Monday Blues, so I can learn some new tricks ;)
Coming to the point, many discouraging things happened to me in the last few weeks. It seem like I'm pounded hard from all fronts; work, study and personal. Most of the discouragements are my own doing for making and not letting go unrealistic expectations for myself and along the way may have upsets and hurts others including someone I like very much. Not only I'm tiring by the discouraging outcomes, I may also aggravated the problems by getting angry with myself for being helpless to turn the tides. There is a point while driving one late night, I felt extremely tired and angry with myself that tears flowing down my cheeks and I felt like wanted crying my heart out but I stopped doing that... sorry dudes if I made you more depress than I am after you read this (blush)
Guess we human are like that, when we set our expectations sky high, thinking if we fall, we will fall on the cloud but we fell into the valley instead and making ourselves and maybe people around us get hurt. I need to learn how to make realistic expectations. I also need to learn how to give up especially on relationship matter... giving up doesn't always mean we are weak or surrender, sometimes it just means we're strong enough to let go or love the person enough that seeing the person happy is all that we need.Thanks God, that I'm blessed with a great friend that has been contacting me frequently, patiently listening to my troubles and providing encouraging advices to help me keep my sanity in check during these difficult times. Dear great friend, you know who you're and thank you for not letting me walking alone through these difficult times :) I also find comfort, encouragement and reassurance from reading Psalm 23 in the Bible last Saturday that God is my shepherd, I lack nothing. I hope, like me, you will find comfort and encouragement through this beautiful song Psalm 23, sing by Don Moen.
Jesus my shepherd and only provider
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still water
He restores my soul
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in His house forever
Until the end of time
Jesus my Shepherd and only provider
You make me lie down in green pastures
You lead me beside the still water
You restore my soul
Though I walk through the valley of shadows
I will not be afraid
Your rod and staff are my only comfort
And You'll be with me always
You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
And You anoint my head with oil
And my cup overflows
My cup overflows with Your love
With Your love
P/s: Flip the cat is photographed by me using Canon 7 D with EF-S IS USM 17 - 55 mm lens at his lovely home in Amsterdam, the Netherlands about two month ago. Flip is a purebred cat and I really enjoy taking his portraits as he is real smart playing cool and emo. Don't know I can folding my arms on the floor as cool and emo like him :D
