The magic of different decisions

Today after work I went with my co-worker to our city. We live nearby our company but not in the same city. Everyday we go from one city to the other, it's not far but if there is a traffic jam it's impossible be to on time.

Today one other co-worker went with us which means with some little luck got to get off closer to my home than normally. I was really happy and that resulted in a longer walk than usual. I got out of the metro and walk just 10 minutes before taking the tram to reach my home.

On the way back I saw three guys, I think of the same family pushing a huge thing in place. It's something to add onto your car for extra baggage. Inside I was cheering them on and was happy to see that cooperation between people is still able to move heavy weights.

If I didn't take the tram instead of the metro I wouldn't have seen something amazing and feel great about it. It's a small thing, what I saw but it made me happy, it gave me a little hope that trust, kindness and hope still shimmers through our everyday life.  

Ripped Jeans

As the title let you guys know I just have my first ripped jeans. I just started to wear jeans two years ago. I bought it at my favorite clothing store C&A, the best place to search for nice and reasonable priced clothes.

For the past few years I have worn and wash it so intensely that I knew it would rip eventually. I was working while my jeans ripped but didn't had a replacement pants with me. I took my sweater of and wrapped it around my waist.

I thought it would be awkward but it was not that bad. I am happy that it ripped because it makes me realize that it was time to say goodbye to my jeans. Realizing that when we use stuff to the fullest it will break. I am very happy that I get all the usefulness out of stuff I bought. I have nothing to complain when my jeans ripped.

So this weekend I also bought a new pants but no jeans. It's a lounge pants for at home. The other pants in my closet are sufficient for everyday work, I don't need to buy another one for it but for at home I need to have nice fitting pants.

It's ripped and I will recycle the jeans to give the material a second chance.

Spares got to go

Yeah, we just bought a new can opener. Last week my mother said our old one is broken or better yet she doesn’t have enough strength in her wrist anymore. So she bought a new one with sharper blade and the others are going to be recycled. 

The white one was supposed to be a back up. I already glued it once but the black one has already been use. When the black one broke, she tried but it took a lot of effort. 

The last few year I nagged about why we having so much stuff around the house that isn’t needed and threw away a bunch of things. My throwing habits is rubbing off on my mother. It’s like crazy how she is also trowing some stuff the house out when buying something new. 

Like when we went to the Ikea and went looking for a container for in the sink. We found a metal pen holder two for not even €2,- and still decided not to buy because the pen holder has no holes at the bottom. So we decided not to purchase the holders. And when we went to the Blokker we found what we were looking for €2,70 which is expensive but better than something that isn’t as useful and will irritate me later on in life. 

We basically buy stuff that is needed and which doesn’t add up to the clutter. I also see in the kitchen where there are stuff multiplying easily got a lot better in the past year. I don’t need to declutter as much as before and the routine I set up, works. 

Spares in our kitchen that aren’t  going to be used in multiply ways like knifes or are easily misplaced or lost, it got to go. 

I adore...

Lately I have been trying a lot of new stuff. Thanks to several sites that let's me try new product for free or for a small payment. That's how I got free tooth paste, juice, coke, energy drink, chocolate, you name it.

That's how I got my hands on this sweet delight. Normally, I wouldn't buy this because it's new and expensive in my eyes but with a cash back I would want to try this.

And with the easy method of just a picture off my receipt and general information I got my cash back in the bank. That's awesome, for those who don't know that Scoupy does this, check it out. I could use their app for Iphones and Android but the fact that I don't use either phones I use the web version, which works fine.

There are a lot of sites that offer free stuff but you have to be careful of the small written text. There are some that are really trustworthy. I use Scoupy and kortingisleuk which has both cool free stuff to offer.

So in ending I adore... cash backs

Feeling Bad

The last six month I didn't have time to write. Nope, not true. There was so many things I want to write down and share. I never got the chance or I didn't want to make some time free to write. I thought about writing on my smartphone but it just didn't gave me the same feeling like a keyboard. Funny right, just because it didn't gave me the right feeling.

So the last six month I have worked and traveled daily from work to home, it cuts about 2 hours a day and the work drained my energy. I got used to the hours but never got used to the fact that I couldn't write. The small voice in mind head wanted to kick my ass and take some time to write. Writing has become an outlet to voice my stress and feelings. It genuinely makes me happy.

Having the right equipment again makes me happy and it gives me back the motivation to work on my own growth again. My laptop battery has been broken for over a year and I can't work without being connected to the grid.

The half past year I gave up a little of my positivity away due to work but luckily I saw myself slipping back into my bad habits. Complain but no change. I got a little bit sick about myself, I put an mirror in front of myself and pulled myself back from the hole.

I have bought more stuff these past months but made sure that my rules still sticks. One in two out. My last year blog post helped me to get through and even my family who got the same cleaning bug.
My goal for the next coming post is to get even more stuff away from myself and select what is most important too me.

The last few years I got to know myself better due to blogging. Now I want to use blogging to write my own path. Feeling bad should never be on my mind again, if I have control over something. Time to work and start feeling good. :-)
