Happy it is December Already - or Surprised #Whatayear

#Jordan #DeadSea #Deadsalt

Whoa - this as been some year!!

And thats what #cainer said for the week - should have read before the week ended.

Would you like to eat the meal you had last month? I don't mean the same dish; I mean the same meal. Unless, that is, it has been quickly frozen and then reheated with care. Maybe, then. But otherwise, no. Time moves on. Even when we want to repeat an experience, we must recreate it with fresh ingredients. Whether you want things to move on or to stay as they are, you have to invest energy and effort. Be careful, in your emotional life, how closely you identify with something that's a part of your past not your future.

Context Switching and Stack Overflow

I switch context at work on a 30 minute basis, day-on-day. And Multitask. And today was no exception. I have had 17 meetings, each on different subject in the last 12 hours. It was meetings, and calls, on intensive, stressful topics, including over lunch and while driving. And each call was on a different topic. And, over a good 12 of them, I was multitasking.

I have had a stack overflow. And, I feel totally drained. I could do it before with ease, but I am finding it increasingly draining these days – ageing I guess.

I can feel that this all is resulting in :

• Memory drain/loss. At times, I cannot remember what was talked because the context changed too soon.
• Writing something different in an email, while I am on a call. Insanity!
• Increased stress level
• Over simulation of brain
• Lack of focus
• Dampened productivity

Meetings or no meetings - we all do multitasking: Texting while walking, sending emails during meetings, chatting on the phone while cooking dinner, emailing while driving and what not. In today's society, doing just one thing at a time seems downright luxurious, even wasteful – But I do hope that I can start indulging in this luxury – even if only for a few hours in a day.

Zen | Bliss

Slept late last night or early morning @ 2:00 AM.

Work up @ 4:00 to go the airport.

22 hours straight that I have not slept.

State of mind - Zen

Reason - Talking to three awesome, old friends - on the way to airport, in cab, and waiting at airport.

Feeling - Sharing crazy current times, laughing at silly jokes, and remembering old, crazy fun times - and the thoughts that everything will be good! And that hope matters!!

Some things money really cannot buy :-). For everything else, there is either a debit or a credit!!

Ha! This is what I needed after almost 2 years of breakup with reading predictions!

This is what Cainer had to say on 6th April, 2014

The more you reflect, the more you can learn about what has been happening in your world lately. You may not be keen to do that, for you fear you have made some errors of judgment it may be wiser to ignore. You would rather move on from that than sit around feeling bad. Actually, you have much to be proud of. You have handled a difficult situation with grace and ought to award yourself praise, not blame, for how things have turned out. And, as the full moon begins to wane this week, they are about to get even better.

Yes, I need positive energy, motivation and reflections. There you go!!
