another night.. another day...
another night, another day
here goes another weekend..
early morning..we push ourselves to office..
counting the days and waiting for another weekend..
5 more days before we have a sigh of releif...
office to home,home to office
breaks to work, works to breaks we live
from salaries to salaries,we live..
we spend most of our day in office
and the rest sleeping in our bed..
our thoughts are restricted to our job..
we think of our boss and the deadlines..
we seldom think of our family back home..
we seldom think of our land were we grew up..
and the place wer our loved ones rest..
we make another house our home..
we identify ourselves with the 6 letter word 'expats'.
we live in a country wer we are just 'city'zens..
we live in a place wer they speak and write
a language that u and me dont know
we live in a place where they follow
a religion that you and me dont beleive in
our folks gave us the right education
they made sure that we got all they could afford
we repay it to them with cheques every month
(thank god we dont ask them when it gets paid off)
and a 30 day leave once in a year
i dont have a luxury car back home.
i dont have a masion waiting for me to live in..
no billion dollar bank balances
no million dollar job offers..
still, home's the place wer we love to be
no place on earth i would rather want to be
still..we are here!
we have been here!
and we will be here(?).
This sure sounded pessimistic. Please don't try to depress me, still the start of the week!
As Scarlett said, we have to make the best of what we've got. Instead of wasting our time complaining about how bad things are, we should go out there and do something fun. It's up to us. Don't think about it as "lonely expats just trying to pass by"...think of it as "adventurous expats experiencing a new culture and learning new things from such a diverse place" :-)
Remember...Bored people are boring people lol.
when you get to by my age...(and I won't go into that on here! LOL) You'll find out that home is where you make it. Sure, you will always have that part of you in your heart that belongs where you grew up and where your parents are..but to be happy, you make the best of what you have WHERE you are at the present time. Learn to appreciate work and find what is good about it and that you enjoy. If you go about it with a negative mindset, it will always remain negative and eventually overwhelm you. The best gift you can give yourself, is the PRESENT. I'll bring a book back with me when I come back in Oct and show it to you..made a huge difference in my life and mindset..called The Present.
Just give yourself a bit of a mind tweak and life/work will be so much better...((hugs)) to ya Mufy...
SMILE, it increases your face value.
