Ten years ago, I was struggling to get pregnant and had met with a gynecologist to find out what’s wrong.
Five years ago, I was questioning whether I should stay in the job I held for over 15 years.
Three years ago, I was wondering if I was ready to give up the safety of consulting for the risk of running my own business.
One year ago, I was having fun with the first draft of The Sunday Night Journal, not realizing that it was my first step to self-publishing my own book.
No, I don’t have a great memory. What I have though are my journals. They are a repository for the colossal and the mundane, the dreams I have for my life, my fears and insecurities, my prayers and discoveries.
Together with meditation, journaling is my favorite self-care ritual. The added bonus is that it allows me to look back at my life and realize that what I had wanted, I have received. It is only in having this record that I can be grateful for life’s gifts instead of focusing on what I don’t have, on what’s missing, on what I’m impatient for.
