Already mid-October!!

Can't believe it it's already mid October! without having updated my pages.
It's been a manic last two months - working fairely long hours. I was covering a girl for a week who's sick so I had to do some extra work too and ended up being sick myself.
I had this annoying skin condition - I got this rush around my mouth and very sore.
Suppose I was a bit run down.
We have some visitors from London one September weekend. We love having some people around. It was unfortunate weather for the English friends(thunder and rain) but the sun came just before they depart.
Another friends came on the following week end. It was very hot and sunny that we went to St. Margaritte. We also went to a local Hammame followed by 30 mins massage. It was heaven. I needed that really, to distress.

The temprature seems a bit down these days, the autumn is here. The air gets very fresh in the morning, still very hot in the afternoon though. It's very difficult to find the right clothes -

not too look too summery but also not too wintery!

How to be motivated

There used to be times when I was very motivated and want to be on the job ladder... Not that I don't feel like that any more, but I don't want to be hussled by the over loaded works and affecting to your own well-being and your life.

On the other hand, it's nice to get noticed and being appreciated for what you've done. I am very careful not forgeting other's hard work and contribution. You can't expect others to do the same though.

I have helped one of my friends' CV and I have given her loads of business or job opportunities for her. Some people have come to me for advices - I enjoy doing that kind of consultations to make them motivated.

There was a world media congress in early October, since the last Film Festival in May, many people said that it'd be a quiet one, but there were still many people coming to Cannes. So even if the condition is not as good as you'd expected, you could still propose some solutions to get to win-win situation. Money is tight for everyone but need to spend and circulate it.

As for me, what I would do to motivate myself..... rather than moaning about the current situation? I eat well, sleep well, happy with my hubby and smile.
Yes, prepare things for the next step. That's for sure.
