Of pills & people

I think i have come to a stage where i've accepted that i'm no longer young. As much as i dislike to say that, but yea, i've come to realise that age is catching up and i'm no longer as youthful as i would like to be. Health was not a major issue to me when i was in my teens but now it has taken a toll on me. Late nights, unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise have contributed to the recent episodes of visits to the doctor. The last few weeks, i've been popping pills into my system so much so it has made me look like i was a drug addict. But no..no i'm not giving up. I'm empowered to put things back on track. I'm empowered to eat healthily and exercise regularly. I'm hopeful that all this can be changed. So..let the ultimate makeover begin! The other thing i realized is that i'm beginning to love country songs alot. Another getting-old-syndrome i think.

*****The past few weeks, i've had privileges of meeting people one-to-one to just chat either over a simple lunch/dinner/cuppa/ice-cream and it has been really good. To me, all these are gems in life because these encounters doesn't come easily and i've come to realize too that i've enjoyed one-to-one meetings alot. Time at work in today's context have robbed us (me included) of all these things, and thus making us soo busy doing rather than being. Yes i realised i enjoy having a good chat; one that when you're in it, you'd wish it didn't have to end, one, in my friend's words..."makes you more intelligent", one that refreshes you after a long day, one that makes you laugh out loud, one that encourages you to live out your calling and one that reminds you of who you are. Not easy to find these kind of appointments nowadays.
Talk is not cheap.
But in another good friend's words.."sometimes, you just got to make time",
and make time i shall try.
