Lux Thinking Aloud Mid-Year Review 12:53 PM Allow me to share my mid-year review. Time flies so fast! One moment we were all welcoming 2014, the next thing you know it's already July! Mid-year. So many things have happened in the past 6 months. Mid-Year Review I have visited five new different places; from the mesmerizing beaches to simple yet relaxing resorts. I went to see these new places and experienced new things with old friends, acquaintances and colleagues. It was a summer worth remembering...and repeating. I para-sailed! I know it's not much for some daredevils, but for an introvert and once-a-very timid girl, that is an achievement. I surfed! Something I never thought I would do in this lifetime. I went snorkeling. What's the big deal? I'm scared of the open water and I'm not a good swimmer. I decided to live on my own. Sure I was living away from home since college, but I always have roommates and housemates. This time, I'm living alone. The bills are a far cry from what I've been paying when I was sharing, but the privacy and the freedom I'm enjoying now is priceless. I get to do what I want whenever I want to without considering another person's feelings or opinion. I have been actively serving in our ministry. Something my soul direly needs. Speaking of serving, I have started volunteering my time for the Cancer Support Group that my oncologist friend organized. Although it's not a regular thing, it's something to look forward to and an opportunity to be grateful for being blessed enough to help. I've read a LOT of books. I'm quite apprehensive about the 100 books challenge I signed up with. I think the most I can read for the year is only 50. Then again, it's only July. I have reunited with some old friends, and said goodbye to a few. Time will come when you have to ditch some friends who have stopped acting as friends. Whoever makes the effort to keep you in their lives are those who matter most. So, every time a friend texts or calls to schedule a meeting, be it a brief dinner or a movie date, I readily go. My submissions on Thought Catalog and The Praying Woman have been published. I finally bid farewell to my Jurassic phone. Sad, but life goes on. Sad part: a close friend died. Consolation: I gained another guardian angel. I joined and survived the 100 Happy Days Challenge. Not as easy at is seems. How I Met Your Mother ended. It didn't make me happy. I've started my online business (books for sale). I'm still surviving the daily chaos at work. There's more, but this is already enough to make me grateful for what I have done so far. So many things left behind, so much more to look forward to. So thankful for where I am today. Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share.

Lux Thinking Aloud Dealing With Daily Vampires 12:03 PM Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. -Mark Twain We are all dealing with vampires daily. Our daily vampires are the people who suck out our every ounce of joy, energy, and patience. They are the toxic people we deal with everyday. You may consider them your daily cross. Here are ways on how to make dealing with daily vampires easier. Dealing With Daily Vampires Understand where they're coming from. Hurting people hurt people. The way you treat someone is an extension of how you treat yourself. So understand that the way vampires attack you is not because of who or what you are, but because of their issue with themselves. Those who love to criticize others are usually those who don't like themselves. They point to others' mistakes because they can't correct or accept their own. Those who talk about other people are bored with their own lives. Nothing great going on in their day to day. They want to make their existence more interesting by taking interest on other people's lives. More often than not, the reasons why haters hate you is because they want to be like you, but can't. They see their own fault in you and they wanted to correct it, but can't. Or they are just purely envious and competitive in nature. They can't accept defeat, and you are a big threat to them. Needless to say, vampires are frustrated people. You must understand that it's hard to deal with frustration if you see someone living a good life. Writer's note: It is different when abuse or demoralization is involved. For serious issues, it is best to seek help or report the attack.
