The last few weeks have been a tough one. Work has been keeping me busy onetime until late into the night. From sacrificing most of my weekends to finish off work which I couldn’t complete over the weekends to Organising and leading company events it has been one busy season for me. On top of all that managing the household with the wifey and at the same time making sure the wifey is okay and doing well with our child growing by the day – Yeap that kinda sums up my life right now.
Not to say its bad. In fact far from it being “inconvenient” , its actually giving me purpose…yes purpose. I am finding meaning in my daily grinds. From waking up in the mornings to walk Drew to communiting back and forth from work and to feeeling a sense of responsibility when I realise I have to work late nights and finish my work through the night at home, this kinda gives me purpose in one strange uncanny way.
I am thankful the wifey is slowly getting used to my demanding lifestyle although there are days I do feel bad having spent all of my energy at work and to come home to my Wife and not being able to spend the attention and affection she deserves. This is something I do remind constantly during my quiet times with God – to not take my spouse for granted at all times. I guess that’s also why I am driven to help out at home – to play my part as a Husband. I believe good habits are learnt early so I am learning not to take things for granted and to also do my hare of the work.
Being back in consulting – there are days I get the ame thrill and excitement of the work that we are doing and that I am part of, and there are days it gets tiring and stressful. While I generally do enjoy the work and researching on new stuff to bring to our clients and help the team grow and expand our client base, it does feel tiring at times and there are days I do wonder whether I am still up for it. I do wonder about my old job from time to time. But having said all that, I am in a good place right now…and i am thankful for that. I guess its these moments I should learn how to life by the day.
