Day 25: What moment this week are you most grateful for? Well, the week is not over, but so far this week the moment I am most grateful for was during our day trip. In Oman’s airport, we had Dairy Queen where I introduced M to an Oreo Blizzard. It was a moment when we…

_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson
_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson In light of yesterday’s adventure, I took along a ‘holiday’ reading for the plane ride. Also, it seems that lately I have been preferring to read paper books for some reason. Since I had bought this one in the last week of work for a discount, I thought it was…

One-Day Holiday
Day 23: What tradition are you grateful for? Traditions seem to be falling by the wayside these days; however, there is something very comforting about having traditions.

_Edge of Eternity_ by Ken Follett
_Edge of Eternity_ by Ken Follett As promised, I have finally made it to writing about the last of The Century Trilogy. Despite some reviews saying that they did not like this one as much as the others, I found that I enjoyed it just as much if not more. The family lines started in the…

Day 17: What knowledge are you grateful for? Honestly, I am enjoying these gratitude questions as I find them to be thought-provoking. I mean when was the last time you considered being grateful for knowledge let alone a specific knowledge? 😛 As a person who hungers for knowledge as a way of coping with the…

Snapchat fun
Yesterday I decided to play around with making a story via Snapchat. For someone of my generation it is difficult to take “snaps” and not save them as we grew up saving photos – I mean actual pictures you can touch – then when digital format came out we still want to save them to…
