Seventeen has always been a special number to me -- my own lucky number. Edzel and I were officially together on a 17th and got married on the same date as well.
My stint in Canon started on March 17, 2007. Today, October 17, is supposed to be my seventh year and seventh month. However, I am on my 17th day of being a stay-at-home wife (I refuse to call myself unemployed, anymore). So as my own little project, I am listing down the 17 things I learned while, uhh, yes, staying at home.
- It is okay to mope. There was a reason why you are now staying at home. Re-focusing your priorities can be tough. But you don't need to do it on Day 1. It takes time to adjust. Cut yourself a little slack.
- Exercise. When I was still working, I had my own little exercise. Dancing (and singing) inside the car while stuck in traffic. Walking from one department to another to discuss something with someone. Going to McDonalds at the Piazza for my morning coffee. I think (I wish) that I burned some calories there. But now, I have to will myself to stand up from my desk (or bed) and do some exercise. I am planning to attend some yoga classes by next week but in the meantime, I have been learning from Adriene. If you do not have the time yet to go to a yoga facility, get to know Adriene and visit her site here. I found her on Youtube and I liked her instantly.
I bet this caught your attention! Haha! Go check her out :)
