Resting For The Longer Journey Ahead
I wanted to write about today this morning. It was pouring heavily till about 11am. I was in my bed the whole morning.
In my half-awake state, I contemplated about not going to work today because my right foot has not been recovering much. I concluded that I did not let it rest fully enough. For the past 4 days, the accumulated exertion has caused much pain by the time I set foot at home. The decision was realised at about 8.40am as I sms to my colleagues that I'm taking urgent leave.
So, instead of blogging, I was busy emailing, sms-ing, and msn-ing to settle some outstanding stuff at work, mostly for a performance assignment by one of my group this coming Sunday, which my colleague will be covering because one of her groups is also performing for the same event.
On my way to get my foot wrapped at the Chinese Physio, I drove my car for inspection at VICOM. That didn't take much walking, thank God. Today's the only day I can do it before the end-of-June deadline. Went straight home after getting my foot wrapped and has been home since.
Because of this injury, I won't be able to sing this weekend so no rehearsal tomorrow either. I hope I can attend service Sunday, but I might not be able to. I hope to still be able to attend the CNLWE Concert, too. One day at a time.
In the afternoon I was tempted to drive to my sister's house at Choa Chu Kang, cos my niece was cooking pasta, and some guy is helping out. I was anxious to meet this guy who apparently would be a potential relationship...so exciting!
I felt like a mother whose daughter has brought home her boyfriend. Wanted to see for myself how he looks like, if he's a nice boy etc. Too bad they were going out in the evening so that means I won't be able to have a long enough encounter. End up decided to stay at home. Well, if it's going to happen, I'll get to meet this boy soon enough. Haha...so pa-kua!
One of the people I msn-ed with was just casually asking me if I've watched the movie or read the book entitled "Tuesdays With Morrie". I didn't think much about it until just now, I was reminded of it and decided to watch it online. The whole movie was on Youtube.
As usual, I love the quotes. One of it was:
"Not letting ourselves be loved because we're too afraid of giving ourselves to someone we might lose..."
So which is worse? Fear of giving love? Or fear of receiving love? Probably the latter...
Well I've been contemplating on the issue of intimacy. I'm beginning to feel that it's an issue for me especially with God. I just identified it, though I can't exactly verify that. I don't know why and so I don't know how to get out of it. I'm sure life's experience would have much to do with it.
Reminds me of another quote I picked up from the movie... "we learn from what hurt us, as well as what loved us."
Believe it or not, my headache is still alive. My flu is still happening, too. Everything seems a bit long drawn...when is it gonna end??!!!
Heal me, God...!!!
