Water you | Day in the life RCD

 Hello RCD readers,

I don't know how to feel. It feels numbing. The year began with so much sadness in Suriname.  From mental health issues exceeding to multiple murders. From unexplainable high rise of still born babies with these weeks only. From multiple deaths because of reckless driving. 

So last weekend I didn't drive to everywhere to do my weekly groceries. And I choose to limit my driving really early. I choose to not drive streets where people tend to not look out. And I focus on safety. These dilemmas are Suriname problems. We have to do better with our mental state. Offer better care and unbiased public response.  When it comes to still born babies on an ultimate high. I think better research has to be done what the root cause is. It can be too young mother's.  It can be bad education when it comes to food. It can be that pregnant women need better care from the start. Plus for everyone. Not just the ones with a lot of money. And when it comes to death's because of driving. I think that has so many factors. Corrupted system gives people driver's licence like it's a tic tac. Our society not following traffic rules and safety.  People don't care enough to drive safely. 

The weekend was for me a hectic work schedule.  I had to finish project T. I thought that I would be done by Sunday.  But like Hillary Duff said " life be lifing". Saturday I could wake up. I was really sleepy to work in the morning like usely. Plus I couldn't wake up for our early shopping trip. I decided to take care of me. Because I know my body asked for me to slow down. Which I did. I made my breakfast and didn't hurry. I didn't look at the clock at all that I would be in rush hour. Noticeable.  The street I do my shopping had a terrible accident the time I usely be driving there. It was like God said stay home.  By the time I got out of the house a part of that street was still closed. So I decided to go today for the rest of my shopping.  Mostly because people weren't driving careful because the accident. They kept driving like they want to kill themselves and other's on the road. I made an choice to do my weekly chores before working till 11 o'clock on project T.

Sunday same vibe. Nothing rushed. I woke up early for a client that asked me for help. She needs material costs before Friday. Something whispered she needs your help. So I pushed in my hectic schedule an hour to sketch the drawing for her. So that I can do the material costs today. I did the rest of my weekly chores. Followed a church service. Ofcourse life be lifing  my computer stayed stuck for a good hour. This never happens. I did get a lot of work done but a lot to do still. But I'm prepared for the week. 

So today I choose to do what is needed but also take it slow. Selfcare doesn't need anything extravagant. Sometimes just slowing down , having breaks, balancing personal and professional by understanding and being okay with more time for one aspect means less of the other.

Have a blessed week
