Just Before Thanksgiving 2016 jiezhengdigital.com /beforethanksgiving/ Jie ZHENG Posted by Jie ZHENG on November 21, 2016 in Living in USA | 0 comments
Yesterday morning, I went to help church kitchen for thanksgiving meal. Several days ago, I noted this would conflict with my meeting at 12 pm New York Time. I wanted to eat at this annual meal because I wanted to try different people’s cooking. While this would be my first meeting with our team. I just would make it happened. I told P (chief of church kitchen) that I would have a meeting, while I would help the kitchen for a while. I did help the kitchen. I did not come home for meeting. I stayed at the church. So after the meeting, I could eat and finish help at kitchen.

I took some pictures and I left at around 11:50 for my meeting with my community team. Before I left, I asked C if she could help me get a plate. I was really hungry at 13:20 when the meeting was over. It was a nice meeting. When I went back to kitchen, no plate for me. C did not save me a plate, she said it was not much even when she ate. Only some desserts left on the table. I was very disappointed. P said I could have one Turkey wing from A. I did not take it. I finished my words in helping. When I left, the gym was almost empty. I was sad and starving. I did not cry. I knew I was not happy. Several hours ago, when we prepared the food, there were a lot. I did not have tears. I was about to go to China next month. This would be my last big meal at church and it ended in this way. I wish at that moment, I could hug someone special. I went to have my tire fixed of pumping more air at firestone. (I went to pepboys first while they asked me to wait about 45 min. So I left.) D said I could take dessert. I took some. I shared them with firestone guys. Sharing food with them made me happy. I noticed I was down and I asked myself questions. After the air issue was solved, I dropped by Birlington coat factory to check if they have Ralph Lauren‘s shirt, which my brother asked me several hours ago. They did not have that brand. I did not go shopping on women’s clothes. I simply did not have that much time, plus, I was starving at about 14:00. I came home and made myself lunch. It was nice, cauliflower and salmon. I must be gentle and nice to myself. I have pretty much food at my place. After my tummy felt better, I took a walk. I was so tired, while I loved the sun. It was warm. It warmed my heart. During the walk, I talked more with myself. Yes, it sucked. While, I did eat some skin of the roast Turkey at kitchen. Yes, I chose not to get the food first because I was not that type of person. Yes, I chose C to help me get a plate. She forgot. It was my choice to ask her. I could ask someone else. I blamed no one. How about the meeting? Was it good? Yes. The meeting was really good. How much was 2/4
the meeting? Priceless. Would you choose the meeting again if you are given another chance? Yes, definitely! My team, my meeting mean much more than that meal. Thought about these, I started smiling. I took a nap after I came home from walk, like a bit over half an hour. Then I took a shower. I could feel I started feeling happy when I took shower. The vibe was different. I could feel it. I was ready to work! It took me about 2 hours to bring myself back to a good mood. As a digital entrepreneur, I am learning to be mindful about my daily life, my daily thought. I am responsible for the results. I am responsible for my happiness. I take responsibility 100%. Being an entrepreneur started from within. I was thankful to work on this online marketing business closely with the Six Figure Mentors/Digital Experts Academy, not only learn how to start a “spare-time” online marketing business, but also to have them guide me to find my true self, to take responsibility of my life and to be aware of my mind, my mood.
Final thought, focus more on what you have, less expectation and more appreciation. Hope you will have a great Thanksgiving! Jie Zheng Nov. 21, 2016 Columbia,SC Nov. 10th 2016 – 60 Seconds Instagram Thankful List
