Share Your World – Week of December 18, 2017

If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?

Someone to do my cleaning and yard work? That’d be great! Cooking? I don’t mind cooking and besides, I know what I want and don’t need anybody making high-calories meal for me.

If you were to move and your home came fully furnished with everything you ever wanted, list at least three things from your old house you wish to retain?

My pillow, blankets, and comforter – those are must-keep, otherwise, I cannot sleep
My electronics – laptops, stereo
Treadmill – unless the house comes with a personal gym
My personal hygiene items – expensive electric toothbrush and all my moisturizers

What calms you down?

I recently discovered walking while listening to music is the key to calming me down. No wonder I feel so energized and less anxious after my daily lunch walks.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

This quote inspired me to keep exercising and dieting, to not give up just I gain a little weight. Other than that, nothing much inspired me. The bad air made me feel miserable and apparently the storm over the weekend didn’t clear it all the way. Hopefully today’s storm will.

Share Your World – Week of November 6, 2017

Published on November 9, 2017November 9, 2017 by Yinglan13 Comments

Would you rather take a 2 week vacation with an organized tour or take a cruise of your choice?

I never liked an organized tour. When I went on an organized tour in March this year, I got angry with all the ladies complaining about punctuality and hunger. I fought with them and I swore I would never go on another organized tour. I would rather go on a relaxing trip even if the only thing to see is the ocean. So two weeks on a large cruise ship eating, exercising, and sleeping sounds great to me. 🙂

Did you like swinging as a child? Do you still get excited when you see a swing?

I loved swinging as a child and by child, I mean age ten and up. I fell in love with swinging after I came to the U.S.

Oh yeah, definitely, I still get excited when I see a swing.

What is the most important thing that you ever learned ? (I bet it’s not something you learned in school)

No, it’s definitely not something I learned in school. 😄 I learned it by reading the wonderful blogs I follow and Facebook and it has transformed my way of thinking. The important thing is to have a happy life, it is important to practice gratitude. It’s important to say at least one good thing to someone each day. Compliment them and in turn, it’ll make you feel good. It is also important to write down something you’re grateful for at least once each week.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

It has been a busy busy busy week this past week. I can tell you what I didn’t appreciate – the furnace not working at home when the temperature outside is near or below freezing. I’ll have to call the repairman today to have them come and check it out.

Meanwhile, I appreciated the ending of daylight saving last Sunday. It gave me one more hour even though technically, we still only have 24 hours. The days just felt longer even if it did mess up my body clock and I’ve been needing to go to bed at 9 PM all week. 😄
