I have always been blessed. I have good enough genes for a normal life. I grew up without any hardship or struggle. I have rich life experiences and good friends throughout my adulthood. I have a great family: a wife who indulges me just enough and daughters who tolerate their dorky dad. Oh yes, a dog who competes for the most spoiled status in his weight class.
I have always been quite fortunate career-wise. When I got out of school, the job market was so bad that I escaped into a graduate school in the US. It did not get better when I got my master’s degree, but I found a job as a software engineer. Who knew that not only began a career, but also a hobby and passion? Many terms later, I ended up in China as a VEEPEE! Never in my widest dream. Had I made the wrong term, I will be submerged in anxiety like many of my ex-colleagues. Yet I landed on this youthful and energetic company that reinvigorated my spirit.
We bought a recliner the other day (indulgence). As I fell asleep in a lazy weekend afternoon, I thought, “That’s a lot to be thankful here.”
Zzzzz.
