One day at a time

Fall has started.

Finally. Officially. Inevitably. Whichever adverb you deem best. For me, it is 'inevitable' because even Fall is a cold time for me, and I just cannot imagine how bad winter will be.

Last night, I had to sleep with the heater on. We will see what I can do when Winter comes.

...

There was one time I overheard two girls saying

"Before you know it, summer will be here".

Really?

I don't know. They always say you can really feel time ticking away in a temperate place. The seasons come and go. The environment changes. The trees shed their leaves before flowers start blooming.

The changes help you keep track of time.

Actually, if you were to think about it, it is true. Time is ticking every moment and life becomes relatively easier when you take one day at a time.

Please do not get the wrong impression I am waiting for time to pass. I mean, that statement is true to a certain extent, because I am stuck on an Island (but then, Singapore is an Island too...) and I need the car to go everywhere.

...

Today is the first day the older kid is going for after-school.

I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. To some extent it is, because then I will see less of her and we will have less power struggles.

To another extent, that vacant time frame may be enough a temptation for me to stick it through another year (although I cannot imagine...).

But you know what?

I think I should just live life as it is right now and quit thinking about the future.

I mean, the present is all I have got. Today is all that I have right now.

Live today as it is. One day at a time.

And yay! It is the weekend once again! Tomorrow! Something to look forward to...but still, I have to live today first.

With thanksgiving.
