Lost

I lost my debit card, oh that sucked so bad.  I was lucky enough that it was mailed to me from the states. My very good mate sent me some cash to eat something because I had no cash. Arrrrrgggggh... I  had maybe $2 in cash so yeah It was just honestly depressing. 

I thought, I was lost finding on an out, but I might have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot in getting something towards the right direction.  

So fingers crossed.....

Found

So funny enough this week, I got lots of positive messages from so many different outlets on the importance of staying and moving forward. My article on Libya was popular on Linkedin. I wish you could find fear and toss it to an ocean, in my case...The Pacific Ocean.

My old classmate told me of some funding from Queen Mary,  I will try my luck

Cared for……

KIMCHI 아줌마 (AJUMMA)

So, there are three ladies at the grocery store across from me. We speak kimchi, no English or Korean here. I am grateful for just how they make sure I get my Kimchi and encourage me to try different Kimchi. They always smile and look forward to interacting with me. I am grateful because I worked retail and after the sale, no one needs to be that kind.

THE BOYS, PASTA & KORCAINE

These young guys cook real Italian. They enjoy traveling and use to stay in Australia. They are always so warm and kind to me. They always give extra something or a deep discount.  I am grateful that they always make sure to interact and laugh with me.

The Coffee Market

The Coffee Market is a café by my area that I use as my office. The staff always greets me as soon as I walk in. I am grateful because now I can order coffee and drinks in Korean.

Arthritis

Some mornings depending on my stress levels or the weather, I must stay in the shower just a bit longer with hot water on my poor hip bone and short leg. 

So those that know me well, will tell you one leg is longer than the other leg. The shorter leg and that hip bone can be so painful (Water Therapy one day!!). 

My father and my pediatrician told me that everyone has one extremity longer than the other. I think they were trying to make me feel better.

…..Eeeeemmmm,  I mean one leg is shorter than the other. You can not spin that mennnnn.
My pediatrician was really unique in her own way, I mean she just really had this way of making me understand my body was mine and I needed to take good care of it. She would ask about my grades, school and everything. I will speak of her more often on Public Health Wednesdays. 

My way of dealing with this from teen to now:

Fresh Foods (I DO NOT EAT JUNK or MAMMALS)

No smoking or drinking.

In the states, my routiine included:

Gym

Weights

Sauna  

Steam room

Whole Foods and The Farmer's Market 

Here in Seoul, I walk at minimum 5 miles a week to 15 miles a week. I drink at least 1.5 liters of water everyday or every other. 

I hate the words, I suffer from (disease/illness). It is such a terrible thing to say to someone. We LIVE with....   

So

I live with Arthritis, and I sleep on the floor because it is heated. I am grateful for heated floors

I hope so....See you next Friday Ramblings
