Something new to tinker with
My brother gave me a Playbook. He knows how much I love to have something new to tinker with. And he delivered as usual! Thanks to my hint-dropping abilities. Hahaha!
Anyway, I should tell you that I get bored easily so I need to have something to do always. I have a number of gadgets that are given to me and some I bought for myself. I bring with me a couple of gadgets so that whenever I have time to kill while waiting, I have something with me to tinker with.
Back bliss
I work long hours and I think working adults know this. Sitting in front of the computer for hours and hours means back ache. And that is not something to relish after a long hard day at work. Good thing I have a really comfortable foam mattress to lay down on. The mattress brings back bliss to me!
I am easily pleased. I am that type of person. After a long hard day at work, all I want is to go home to a cozy environment, a hot meal, a warm bed and a good night sleep. That’s it and this woman is one happy camper.
Basic know-how
I care about my clients. That’s why I make sure they fully understand the financial reports that I furnish them. I don’t want them looking at the bottomline only. I want them to truly look at the numbers and know what they represent.
For some of my clients I recommend getting Online accounting degrees. Those clients are the ones who are more concerned with the state of finances of their companies. I tell them that if they really want to delve deeper into the finances, it’s good to have a basic know-how of accounting.
Two clients who took my advice are now acting as CEO and CFO of their companies. Dual roles that they can perform easily because they already know accounting really well.
Oh men!
The men in the family have this tradition where they spend a weekend in a gold course outside the city and celebrate pre-Christmas there. They already did it last weekend and came home smiling like old silly folks! My mom and I were laughing at my dad and my brother. Dad said that they smoked chocolate cigars after dinner and they all loved it!
I told the women in the family that we should also do the same thing, create a tradition where we will spend time at a spa resort before Christmas as well. It will be a good tradition to start.
Chilled to the bones
It will be my godson’s first time to travel to a country where there’s snow. He is so excited about it and the teenage boy seems like a little kid about to go to the Chocolate Factory! He can’t contain his excitement over their family’s trip abroad. As a gift, I will give him down jackets at RockyMountainTrail.com. I know he needs jackets that will surely stop him getting chilled to the bones. He needs it or he will catch colds.
I remember my own travels and my first time to experience snow. It was one of a kind and I know my godson will enjoy his stay abroad. I told him to send a picture of him with a snowman. I know he will.
Quality time with the family
I always tell my friends that quantity doesn’t always translate to quality. We can have all the time in the world spent with our family but if we are just physically with them but our minds are in different places, then it still can’t be called time spent with them. We can spend two or three hours a day with the family over meals and really get to talk to them. Now that’s quality time!
It made me happy to hear from a friend whom I haven’t seen in so long. She and her husband were in the area getting a motor home repair when they dropped by for some chit chat with me. I learned that their family was in a sabbatical of sorts for the past year and all because I mentioned to my friend how good it would be to spend a year with the family not worrying about work or anything else but just being with them and getting to know each family member more.
I wish our family can go on a ‘sabbatical’ of our own. Can you imagine now work for a year? Bliss!
