Counting Blessings

Today is one of the rare evenings that I get home early. I am happily sitting in my room listening to Norah Jones, reading The Power, looking at Pinterest, admiring my hair and texting.

I try to stay away from the news as much possible because it is quite depressing and ignorance is always bliss- yet my mind can't help but wander over the recent shootings, I wonder if those kids had any idea that it would be the last time that they would see their family and loved ones when they left for school/work that day.

And again I remind myself how impermanent life is, how we are here only for a short moment and how only god knows when it is our turn to say good bye!

On a happier note, it's Christmas week, and everyone is in a relaxed mode at work. Mamma che pasta is growing its clientele slowly but surely, gian is as stressed as ever- but only because he strives for the best and has such high demands of himself- but truly, I am super proud of him. That, and I am super excited to head home to kl for nye!

Thanh is here from the ned, I brought him to the shop for lunch today, and turned out gian's friend popped by too on the way to the airport- the shop is fast becoming a hang out place, and I love it!
Ok back to my book!
