Dengue | Books - Strange House, Strange Buildings, The Wealth Money Can't Buy | Positive Mental Time Capsule

It started with high fever. I had mostly slept in; trying to fight through the muscle aches. On the 3rd day, the doctor gave some medication for food poisoning. 

The high fever continued. It was dengue. Had to be hospitalized. There was hardly any pain, just some rashes on the body and dizziness due to the high fever. 

Took the time to finish some readings:
1. The Wealth Money Can't Buy (Wellness became the emphasis of the week out of the 8 Forms of Wealth) 
2. Strange Houses (Interesting Read)
3. Strange Buildings (Interesting Read - when all of the stories came together in the end)
4. How to Tidy your Mind (Nothing new) 
5. The Ritual Effect (Ritual is part of life, Pieced together some ol' rituals, "the positive mental time capsule" is an interesting ritual)
6. The Rosie Project (Predictable Ending)

It seemed I was trying to drown the anxiety with all the reading. The stay in the hospital had brought chaos to my routines. My usual self wanted to get things done, but I had to put everything on pause to nurse back my health. 

It is such an opportune timing to think about the concept of positive mental time capsule. How we tend to lose track of precious moments when we just follow the flow of time. Sometimes we are living in autopilot mode so that we can go through our days with much ease; however, we would missed the little joys life brings. If only, we can "capture" and stash away the little joys; to keep it for later (when life gets hard). 

Little joys - Bev laughed while holding our ears; Bray hugged in our arms like a baby even though he is already so heavy; Hub laughing at our silly jokes - only we find funny.
