About Me

I'm living as clean as I could, writing about it as a source of motivation, accountability and sometimes an outlet for frustrated cupcake cravings. Oh, I do like pretty bags, they make the occasional appearance here.

Celebrating Small Wins

While waiting for Isyak, I'd like to list down a few small wins for today as a positive reinforcement. I need to let myself know that I can be trusted to get things done.

1. Today I woke up earlier than yesterday and I made my bed this morning.
2. I made couscous salad the night before, so today I had chilled couscous salad with baked salmon.
3. I went out to run errands in the late afternoon.
4. I spent 2 hours in the afternoon dealing with work emails and translation work requests.
5. I motivated our new staff. She texted to apologize for her slow work but I told her to be patient and kind with herself. She will undoubtedly be faster and better with practice.
6. I showered and prayed today.
7. I'm about to pray Isyak and tarawih in Shaa Allah.
8. I spoke to my mother today and I was calm.
9. I had one on one time with Smokey (my indifferent, stern looking cat) and I was so blessed he wants to be petted. He purred the whole time.
10. I replied to WhatsApp messages from a work colleague. We are working together on something new that is scaring me more than I would admit, but today I updated him on my progress for a small task, tomorrow I plan to get more done for this project.

Alhamdulillah, that's actually good, and the night is still young. I plan to do some translation after tarawih and sleep early tonight.
