It’s funny how we forget one basic rule of life: The only constant is change. That whatever we are going through: sadness, loss, happiness, joy, whatever, it is bound to change. That is a fact of life. This is especially hard to remember during sad or low times, times of misfortune and so on. Lately,…

Educating my brain
I listened to a fascinating TED talk recently. As I understood it, the gist of the program was how our brain biologically does not differentiate between actual events and our memories of those events. So when we rehash a traumatic event, it’s as though we were reliving that experience all over again. The brain sends…

Lyrics in my mind
When I saw today’s prompt, I thought, I’d write a piece about synchronizing my sleep. How I’ve been sleeping better which I have. And so on and so forth. Instead the lyrics below kept going through my mind. 🎵”Let’s synchronize our..”🎵 I couldn’t quite remember the last word but could hear the song. I was…
Fight or Flee
Today, I feel weary from the efforts of trying to learn from a haphazard training method. In a very regulated workplace, everything I touch, everything I type has my signature, my initials, my something. I’m constantly leaving a paper or electronic trail during my workday. Every flaw is 100 times magnified and broadcast even more…
Jamesport, MO Part 1.
I took a quick day trip to Jamesport, MO about 90 miles Northeast of Kansas City. I knew that Jamesport was an Amish community who lived a simpler way of life and handmade many artifacts, crafts and materials. So on a whim, I booked a room and yesterday after lunch, I hit the road and…
The Introvert’s Dilemma
Many introverts, myself included, greatly enjoy solitary activities. I mean what’s not to enjoy: time to unwind and re-charge, solitude, a good book or walk, a cup of tea, a favorite program, a cozy nook, a comfortable bed..the list is long. All this is much appreciated especially at the end of a work week. What…
Impromptu
So usually I have very elaborate travel plans for my birthday which falls on August 19. I have often been able to take a week or more off from work and spend 3 or 4 nights away. I’ve traveled to the Ozarks, Colorado, Arizona, Nairobi, Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico for my birthday in past…
Karibu! karibu chai.
Welcome! Welcome to tea. That’s the welcome given to most everyone who knocked on our door when we were growing up in Nairobi, Kenya. When we were younger, one of us would be sent off to the kiosk to buy milk and bread, and perhaps sugar if there was none in the house. Infact guests…
One goal
My weekend starts today. I’ve been training all week and I am absolutely drained. I have one goal in mind this weekend. And that is to be as dormant as possible. Just me, Netflix and my bed. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/dormant/
