The Pondering Almost Done

People sit at an Internet Cafe for the free wifi. They drink coffee there to pass the time. I often to go there while waiting for Puan Anita to finish up what she was doing at the mall. And the cafe seemed to be the right place for me to chill out alone as well. In fact, I made a lot of my life decision, figuring things out while sitting at such cafe. Trying to catch a moment of clarity.

Before my boys arrive, such moment were had in the early mornings. My favourite were the early hours of Saturday mornings. Why Saturday? Because I never used to work on Saturday and I can catch up on sleep on the afternoon while having the rest of Sunday to recover.

There had been a catalogue of decisions believe it or not. The decision against heading to Australia for further studies and sabbatical. The decision for a career change. The decision to move. All was actually made at the same spot, over a period of five years. The same very cafe. Not just the same chain of Starbucks, but the same Starbucks. Talk about finding one's muse eh!

So, I pondered again earlier this morning for more decisions. Now that things were finally in place, it was the time for the execution. And the breakfast this morning with Puan Anita at La Bodega was nice as well. But I did most of my thinking alone. And she knows when to leave me to figure things out. After all, she had been with me for the last 25 years …..

Decision time boys!
