Learning to elevate above my surroundings!

Last couple of days I found myself eating more then usual! Phew... what's this sudden urge for food? What am I fueling with all the food that I have been eating lately? I better stop eating or I am going to fall back to my old trap... hhmm... no no I am not falling back!

I took some time to think about it and I realized I have been so stressed last couple of days... not sure how to cope with it that I decided to distract my mind with food!

You see I moved out of my parents home when I was 17 years old. Since then I have been on my own till 10 years back my sister came to the city and we have been living together... but about a month back, I brought my parents to stay with me... you see having a sister around is like having your best friend with you but having your parents is a whole new world...

I must admit, i love my parents very much and for some time I have wanted them here with me and especially for my mum... i don't think anything else can make her happier then being here with us! The reality, having them here is not as simple as i anticipated... I just realized i have been away longer from them then I have stayed with them... today, I am different person, I like different things, I see things differently, I want my home to be organized differently... I like everything to be kept in a certain way etc...

Today I was in a meeting when my sister called and said mum is really not well... she can't walk and her feet is swollen... hhmm... my mum is 65 and she has been having diabetics for almost 22 years now and yesterday she got a bit excited and decided to over work herself! Usually when this happens, she gets bad body aches but this is the first time she can't walk...

I rushed back and I have been by her side the whole day... I realized I will not exchange anything else then this opportunity of having my parents with me and caring for them at this age... I don't know how long God has for us to live under one roof as a family one more time but I am going to treasure this moment to the fullest...

Now, back to my stress... I have no other choice then to learn to restructure the way I have been running my life... yes, things around have changed but I have to elevate above my surroundings and still shine like I have always done! I know it might not be that simple but I surely will pull through this phase and yes, back to gym tomorrow and back to monitoring what I eat :)

Thanks Mok Siang. She is much better today... Guess God knows what we can handle and what we can't and what we need to elevate ourselves. Everyday is a learning process :)

Dear Kalai, I suggest your mother to drink water treated with the Amezcua Bio Disc to increase her energy level in her body.It may help her to recover from her prolonged diabetic problem.May God bless her to recover soon.
