work and life..

it's been a week that i've not updated my blog. i feel that my life is being spun by work. so many works to do but it's what i am asking for. so there is no whinning. i enjoy it. i feel that i have something to throw myself to. something that is just a temporary and i will be free again at the end of this morth. then, i will have something to look forward to. easy time. light days. scrapbooking. writing and travel.

a few weeks back, i was trying to solve things in my shop. the sell was down. the customers were snatched. the shop was not so popular despite the fact that it was peak time. i was stressed and so was my sister. so we found ways and brainstormed to restore the sell. we boought 3 new computers with flat screens. showed them off. redecorated the shop. made it look comfy and cozy. make the customers feel like home when working. reduce price and close late. within a week, we gained back old customers and had more new regular customers. finally, the hard work has started to pay off. i am tired but happy to see the shop gets back to life again.. the best thing is that i feel alive and energized after solving the problems. i am grateful that it happened. it did change my perspective in running business and my way of thinking about working. i enjoy working more... i have something to look forward to.. and i've learned that running business is never, ever stay still..

this time of my life, it's about investing. i spent a lot of my saving money on improving my shop, paying the bills, getting it run smoothly and paying salary. i must confess that it quietly freaked me out sometimes. but it's mine and it's my life now. being a business owner isn't easy at all. lots of things to solve. lots of money to spend. lots of plan to make in advance. but i love it and never want to trade it back with the fancy position. i've had enough of that.. this life is more fun, more challenging and more time to myself and my loved ones. it's not just getting up, getting dressed and go to work.. it's about working, really work, everytime, everywhere and sometimes it's not about working at all. it's just about living life.. another kind of like that work involves.. it's about thing that i want to do, not i have to do..
