Dead air happens even when you're with your most comfortable friend or partner. For writers, it's called the writer's block. In my own words, I'd say it's a period of time where a writer can't seem to get anything in words. Well, there might be the occasional jibber jabber but nothing he or she would judge as suitable for readers.
Call it that or laziness, I had a dry period in terms of writing. In fact, I'd say my recent "dead air" is more of an uninspired, unmotivated, I-don't-know-what-to-do-now kind of phase. Dull moments. Bleh.
So, receiving good news from my employer after days of vacationing and not working without notice, I feel I owe it to myself to get back on my feet. Challenging myself to be happy and find joy in simple things, I'd like to start with the good news today.
I got a raise! It's not big per se but for me, it's more of a validation that I'M NEEDED. I'm not as expendable as I thought I was. Aside from a LITTLE salary raise, we had an agreement to change the payment terms. I will be paid by the hour so that would mean getting extra should I decide to work more hours than usual! I LOVE IT!
And another thing to be thankful was arriving safely from Manila early this morning. A weekend beach getaway to Batangas sponsored by my little monster's grandparents, it was a much appreciated free vacation! Tiring! 6 hours from Baguio to Manila, 4 hours Manila to Batangas and back again, PHEW! My skin's showing stress! But the beach and good food made up for the heat and butt pain. ;)
I'm expecting more good things to come! I'm hoping for more good things to come and I'm going to make ways for MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME!
