Ah, how I love the lazy days of summer. It just occured to me, while I was thinking about my health/exercise/diet etc. during school that I may have
wanted to be healthy, but just never had time. And when I DID have time, like during winter or spring holidays, I was so physically exhausted from all that was going on at school that I just needed a break. You know, I've talked to many other kids my age and have found out that most youths didn't have as strenuous a school life as I did. I guess it really depends on so many things, and my family and I decided what we wanted and got it. My parents wanted me to go to the best school, and along with that came many academic responisibilities. But it was
I who wanted to join many clubs, do community service, teach piano, go to my own music lessons, perform in concerts, etc. So I really can't "blame" anyone but myself for always being on the go and not really having much time to think about other issues, such as health. And anyway, I don't think I need to even blame myself. I had a really wonderful school experience and I am SO fortunate to have been able to do what I did. I look around me and see so many children who can't afford to go to school, not because it isn't free, but because they have to work from young ages to help support their families. I really was (and am) extremely lucky.
Wow, I really did digress from where I wanted to go with this post. I wanted to talk about how I am being able to exercise daily and really enjoying it! And how I am indulging in feminine routines, like scrubbing my feet and and my face and enjoying clean hair twice a week (rather than saving it all for Saturdays and making that my beauty day; even then, I hardly had time to do all that I wanted to). I am taking care of my diet and the pounds are just shedding off. I am making time for myself in so many ways, and doing things I enjoy, and I just feel so pretty and happy.
And in a week from tomorrow I will be heading off (again!) to start my new adventure. I have already started making arrangements, like finding some music teachers, looking at all the opportunities to join clubs, and trying to enrol in my classes online. I guess I should go and pack some of my warmer clothes. I am oh-so-worried about the cooler weather. I don't think I was built for the cold!
Love,
