Joyful things and moments (v2)

Moments:

• Morning chanting from the nearby mosque between 4:30-4:50am.

• Wake up naturally (I never set an alarm) at my usual time, 4:25am today, and realize hubby is still sleeping beside me, soundly.

• Love seeing his sleep score matching mine

• Opening the bedroom door and find Cookie waiting outside at 4am. She follows me to the kitchen, I pet her for few seconds, she goes back to Sofia’s room.

• Finding joy in reading, non fiction. I get excited when a blogger/substract review books as kids find new type of candies. I don’t read them all, but I get excited to read about them. When a book pops up multi times, I’d read a sample, abandon it easily, or download the full book.

• The cold room when I get ready to sleep. I turn the AC on 30 min before when I plan to go to the bedroom. Thank goodness for modern technology.

• A security guard told me something in Bahasa with a smile while I was running passing him. I didn’t understand what he said, but I could guess he said something like: good job, keep it up!

• Unexpected old song pop up while I running. It transports me back to a certain period of life and I smile.

• The idea of buying a just-because gift for husband makes me feel excited and joyful.
• Figured out a new way to position my lamp at 4:30am that illuminates the room in a cozy way

• working out at the gym with husband and Lizzy after work

• Reading this feedback from my coach

• Seeing my old team mate in Manila in a zoom call. We texted each other right away: gosh I missed you!

Things:

• My running sunglass. I love the look of it and how it works. When I wear it, I feel cool despite having the sun on my head. It’s magical.

• New bowl from IKEA. I love the feel of it, I love the color, I am so glad I got them despite having so many plates/bowls already. After using them for 1 day, I stored away old serving plates for good. (will share vegan meals lately soon)
