Do you describe someone as "nice", when you want to introduce a person to a friend? And what does "nice" conjure? I am actually not sure too - maybe it's different when it's used by a man, vs a woman. But perhaps for me, it comes across as too vague, and this adjective could also mean that there's really nothing too good to say, or nothing much to comment about the person, and hence, "nice".
Definitely a good discussion topic and much learnings and understanding.
That aside, Sunday again... I had a very sleepy weekend... felt sleep-starved, and just zzz-ed.
My oura ring stats should be quite good for the last 2 days. :)
It is the Thanksgiving week. And I am thankful for Thanksgiving Thursday - had a really great fellowship, and traditional American dinner with Robert, Monique and their 3 lovely gals and friends. It's officially my first time joining an American family for Thanksgiving dinner, and it's a huge celebration for them. :) So much food, so much good conversations, and I am really thankful.
First time to their new place, maybe first time in last 1 year since we met. Same lovely family :)
And Friday was good too. There are so many sales advertisements all over - every merchant and online stall trying to capitalize on this Black Friday tradition, and even Cyber Monday - to rake in the sales. And, I didn't really have anything I wanted to buy though I checked out Zoom Fly 3. Unfortunately, the discounted price is not really anything great too, and even more expensive than normal sales in the past. There's really nothing very much I want materially, at this point in time.
But Friday was good. :) We had a good brunch and stroll along the coast. It would have been holiday season in the days of old, but I suppose we could just still pretend it's a holiday walk, stroll. :)
I am just thankful for a nice walk and a good conversation. :) Nothing fanciful, but just enjoying the moment. And because it's Black Friday, dress in black. :-)
On Thanksgiving, of this week itself, one of the small moments I was very glad for was that it rained a little, even for a short 15 minutes. It was nothing to really rave about, but it was just a strange feeling - something like a refreshing moment, thankful moment, breathing moment early in the morning. Maybe it made me feel that I was closer to home, having heard that it's been pretty rainy in Singapore. Or it's just the early morning moment of experiencing the start of a new day. It's a fleeting moment and a feeling that I wanted to capture... a newness, hope, life, and that the day had begun. The clouds came on in the early morning, and it drizzled, even as the sun starts to rise. I managed to catch the whole sunrise as I was up early for a meeting. :))
Earlier today, I was also thankful that I've had a good week and weekend. I also felt some tinges of nostalgia too as I went about my cleaning and laundry routine. I looked at the closet, and thought about the clothes, the make-up, the shoes, the bags. When was the last time I really decked myself in proper office wear and bought nice girlish things? I think it was quite some time ago. Maybe, this would happen in 2021. :) A little wistful feel washed over me.
Finally, I am thankful that Christmas is coming again. :) This year will be quieter... but in it, there's surely that sense of awe, and then, the start of a new beginning, new hopes too. I am looking forward to this beautiful December season.
