Dates etched in ink

Sometimes dates are etched in ink in your mind. This is a short story..uhm short story or essay? Well rambling more like . So brief ramblings of one such date. Recently my car was totaled. Well, on January 28th. It was quite upsetting, truth be told. And it has pre occupied my mind In any…

Wasted Money?

But well as it happens, here I am with ample time on my hands and in a I-Gotta-Get-My-Shit-Together mood, I am paying a little more attention. Also, without an ongoing income, I am more conscious of my spending habits.

Left hanging by the handyman

Left hanging just didn’t feel right. A lot of things don’t feel right anymore. For example, words I used nonchalantly before. Just this morning, I was journaling how the down times at work kill me. I literally went back, crossed it out and wrote stress me out instead. Life has changed, I’ve changed. Grief does…

Building Gratitude.01

For some reason, sleep eluded me last night and I only started feeling sleepy just before my alarm went off..sigh. Then there was an accident on the highway which led me being 30 minutes late to work..ugh. But driving up on this little street that turns into the Parking Lot. I looked up and there…

Ketogenic anyone?

Two days ago, I stumbled across the documentary, The Magic Pill on Netflix and found it to be so fascinating.

Week 16: More of the same

I mean that’s life right? It’s pretty mundane. Same thing, day in day out. We have our daily lists made up of a mix of things like work, parenting, chores, school, study, sleep or lack thereof, pastimes, a major event here and there. The trick is finding meaning in those mundane days. Ok, have I…

Then I meditate

Sometimes life becomes too distracting and disruptive that I neglect to carve out the 10-13 minutes I need for my #DailyCalm guided meditations. And I forget how much I enjoy them, how serene yet alive I feel after these brief sessions, and how bit by bit, that calm feeling is staying with me longer and…

Week 13: In need of R&R.

Don’t want to post much this week. Between too much work and continued bouts with insomnia, I’m in need of R&R. I’ll be back next week.

One word: Ugh!

Is that a word? Probably not. It’s more an expression I guess. Whatever it is, ugh! No, actually a big fat UGH! I hate when sleep is as elusive as it is tonight. I hate that I get anxious when that happens. I hate that the anxiety feeds on itself creating even more anxiety. I…
