I wrote the following piece in January, but didn’t post it up. I just sat with it and let the words be.
My mood has lifted since I wrote it. I don’t feel like I’m treading water anymore – moving, but going nowhere. Instead, as we nudge into spring, I feel young shoots of excitement grow as I take on new projects and work on what really matters to me. Moods and feelings are like cycles of the seasons; they can go full circle in a matter of weeks and much of it is connected to our mental and physically wellbeings.

Coffee MatesSUSAN S. CHEUNG (known to many as Shifay--Chinese middle name.) Welcome to my world. I'm a resident from across the pond who lives in the Capital District. For 13 years, I was all about my career and being successful. Becoming a mother twice in my mid- to late-30s made me take stock. Now my life is a hectic whirl of being a stay-at-home mom of two young children. I face the challenges of being a woman, an older mother, a non-American and a short person! Fortunately, I'm rescued from making too many faux pas by my coffee group (my mates)-- a great bunch of women in different situations of life. We meet in the guise of drinking coffee, but really it's about keeping our sanity intact. My blog is my take on the daily issues that affect us. My aim is to shine a light on the everyday things we take for granted. Come and be part of my coffee group and join in the conversations. POSTSCRIPT: As of JULY 2008, after eight years in Guilderland, we've relocated to Nashville, Tenn., to experience Grand Ole Opry, southern hospitality and my husband’s exciting new job. Read my "Coffee Mates" posts in 2009/2010 on acclimating to southern culture.SubscribeEmail Archives |
