Progress in Life

So! Any progress in my life so far? Well, I won't say spectacular but generally, what I can remember, I am a better person today then before! Okay, still *many areas* for improvements, I really need to pen down the items one by one! But, yeah .. overall ... I noticed I can deal with work problems a whole lot better.. even issues at home and with friends (minimum I would say) - though there are of course some roller coster ride on and off, but big picture wise, I think I am OK. Any complains about life, how life treating me, how I am treating life? Hmmm, don't really think there's much negative comments ... Although still no savings, earning but all the time there's alot of unexpected and expected expenses for my little family and my parents, but I guess I am not looking for a perfect life, what is anyway!? And, even if I do get unhappy sometimes, but after a few short seconds, I would smell sweetness in life more than bitterness.. I guess, just want to appreciate what's around and knowing that there's much more suffering out there ... :) And, usually .. if I just wait a little - maybe give it a few more days, or a few more weeks .. or in some cases, give it a year!? (definitely have more patience - which I have a lot more these days) then things would turn our looking better and I'd say, I am usually expecting a good change with whatever turn of events happening! I am looking forward for an earlier retirement though! But retirement doesnt mean not work or keep the muscles stretching .. so, still practicing minimalistic living - which I have been doing rather well ever since in Guam- didn't spend much on myself except for the family and not swiping credit card if unnecessary hehe .. At least, maintain less debt (except unavoidable debt!), although still not getting rich, ha!
