It has been 7 months plus since I started to work on a permanent part-time basis in a private organisation.
All I can say is alhamdullilah....I have never feel happier and fulfilled.
All those crazy days with me working full-time, feeling zombified and fatigue by the end of each day are a thing of a past for now. Having to handle family responsibilities with work is no joke and as the kid grow older, the stress load is heavier, and it affected me emotionally, physically and mentally. I was burnt out and I was having a lot of anger and tension inside of me. Almost everyday I was on painkillers :(
After a long and hard decision, me and hubby decided that family comes first, as well as my own health and happiness. No point being rich but no sense of life. So going part-time was the way to go. And He answered my prayers as only He knows what I was going through and how emotionally and physically drained I was. Syukur alhamdullilah...
Now I am a totally different person. I am more happier and alive.
I spend much more time at home with my parents and my family. I no longer teach my kids like a mad woman screaming away. During the day when everyone else is working, I take them on excursions such as the zoo or the library on the bus and train. I help to settle bills, groceries and whatever chores we could not do in the past as both of us were working.
I get to spend more time with hubby as well...Fridays he is off early...and it is our official date day. We would watch a movie and have a nice dinner :) Priceless..
The kids are so happy to see me more and I am so grateful for the time we have now together.
And of course, most importantly, time for myself. Going to the library to read, relax at starbucks with a cup of mocha and a book, shopping either myself or with my friends, all these was a luxury in the past. Now I can do all these without worry.
My health has improved a lot since this new pace of life and I sleep better each night.
Thanks to Him for all he has bestowed me...
