One little thing I’d like to share, since I don’t have anything specific to write about for this scribble, is that for the past few days I’ve been really good and disciplined and have finally, FINALLY, got some control over my inner chocaholic. The cookie monster is tamed at last, however temporarily. Lately I’ve been […]
There is much in life that we usually take for granted, not realizing how wonderful it is til we lose it, be it our health, our jobs, our loved ones. One that hit me today was the incredible blessing of being young, strong and independent. As I sat in my aunt’s nursing home, surrounded by […]
Sometimes we really need to consider the other side of things, the other’s point of view. If we get caught up in our usual automatic reflexes, we’ll only understand things from that limited perspective and then wonder why other people sometimes get annoyed or upset at us. I sometimes find it hard often to look […]
It’s 10.43 pm, I’ve just finished my dinner and washed the dishes and I’m just waiting to get this daily scribble done before I can head off to bed. Why so late? We were out on the town folks! Or, as normal people would say, Alex and I headed out to the pub for a […]

Today I’ve already spent too much time staring at the computer screen doing work for our business so for this post I’m just going to share a few funny and ancient words.

I’m so stuffed with curry and garlic naan, I’m torn between wanting to lie down and sleep and actually get sick. Note to self: don’t keep chewing on bread once you’ve finished a big meal. I’m having a week off from the restaurant, thank goodness. It’s gotten so busy in there lately I felt like […]
I’m writing this after three hours already on the computer going through website edits with my brother via Facebook messenger (he lives in Austria). Staring at a computer screen for so long is both exhausting and stimulating. I walked away from the desk stooped and weary yet my mind feels tense and agitated; it doesn’t […]
I wish I lived in my own home and could wake early and have the house to myself while my husband slumbered peacefully on, making my morning tea in a silent kitchen and writing in my journal at the table. I am so grateful to have a warm, comfortable house to call home, with the […]
Today was a lot better than yesterday. Really, I could’ve gone through some genuinely harrowing events today and still have felt a lot better about life, so it’s not a big surprise. There were many small precious moments that soothed my soul; the big fluffy snowflakes floating silently through air as I stared out of […]
Today it’s time to introduce just a few of the sweethearts I work with daily because frankly, they won’t stop pestering me to do it ever since I wrote about me and my clowns. (If you don’t know these lovely people, some of the jokes may be lost for which I’m sorry. This blog-post is […]
