It seems like every day for the past few days I’ve had some sort of de-stressing outing. Thursday night I went out to Kelsey’s with a friend. Friday night I went a local bar with colleagues. I met with some friends for dim sum earlier today. Have I now fully recovered? Umm, I’m getting there, certainly. I guess I’ll wait to see how I feel on Monday after I’ve had my long run on Sunday.
Anyway, while eating today milestones were discussed. It was brought to my attention how I’ve already met so many except for the one that’s sort of making V-day more of an annoyance than anything. So often I play down the fact that my condo is coming, and that I have a car, and a decent job. I just don’t realize how well I really have a lot of my ducks all lined up in a row. That’s great, for sure. I mean, I’ve worked hard to get to where I am. I could be forgiven then, I guess, for worrying about what would happen if it all came crashing down. Given the economic climate, what if I suddenly lost my job? It’s entirely possible. How will I make car payments? How will I cover the mortgage? Having this fear is sort of a way to encourage myself to not be complacent, know what I mean? I can’t afford to have poor work ethic for an extended period. It would be one thing to be laid off due to circumstances outside of my control, but if I would ever get fired for being a slacker then I wouldn’t have any excuse at all. I’d be doomed. Doomed!
I guess what I’m saying is that I can’t take any of this for granted. I need to continue to work hard and strive to do better. All of this came to me while eating har gow. Go figure.
