Today

The doctor prescribed me a day's Medical Leave for a nasal allergy. This allergy seems to give me a headache throughout the day. It is common to develop respiratory problems given the sky high pollution levels daily.

Three things were on my mind today, my tax bill, cable TV subscription and my future direction. Strange how the very mundane counts as a weighty issue when you are living by yourself! Managed to sit myself down and clear two out of the three.

It was a good day to rest, and to compartmentalize my thoughts. Keeping in mind the "big picture", I steadied and re-focussed what I would like to do, and the open mode of thinking I should adopt.

From A's advice, I should do something that I like / find interesting, at the same time useful and complements my long term goal.  Learn more about the business, or take a break and do something different.

Couldn't agree more. What I need to figure out is: how do I get to doing that? Where should I start? What role could I do with my current skill-set? Will think and observe a bit more.

Meanwhile, to keep myself from getting to caught up in work, I should get involved in some charity work, and exercise.

It is now nearing the end of the month. I managed to tick off one out of the two resolutions that was set at year end. How is that for a good start.
