My Success Journal - 17 May 2008

1. Finished reading Paulo Coelho's Fifth Mountain. Liked a particular phrase which I find really true, at least as far as I am concerned : A child can always teach an adult 3 things - to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires. Now reading Paulo's Eleven Minutes ... interesting.

2. Happily allowed my 2 elder girls to attend their friend's birthday party after making sure they promise to behave, to have fun and to want to come home once the party is over not later than 9pm. Sent them there, all were in high spirits and managed to fetch them home at the promised time. Glad that they enjoyed themselves :-)

3. Had my NGO friends over for dinner. Dinner was lively, with a friend's special curry chicken recipe being the main dish. Spent time just catching up with each other after so many months. Lively chat and all. The kids also had fun playing with toys and feeding the koi :-)

4. A newly acquainted friend popped by my place to spend time with me, had a very comfortable chat until the wee hours !
