See-Saw
It seems that the world and life in general is a game of see-saw. Up and down. If someone pushes stronger, the other person goes higher. If one person weighs more, they go lower. See-saws were not meant to be balanced – otherwise what would be the point of them? So, is the idea of…

Looking Up
Just a short update – things are starting to look up at last. Yesterday I read a horoscope that a friend had posted on FB. The link doesn’t work anymore for some reason, but you will have to take my word for it that it said that the struggles of the last two years will…

Step 2: Make a Decision
Remember how just over a week ago I said we were saying YES to options? Well, the interesting thing is that the options we thought we would have to decide upon are not the ones that we decided….That’s a confusing sentence! Lemme break it down.

The World of Binging….
Meditation has taught me to control my mind, to sit no matter if my feet are falling asleep or a thought is not desired, to have patience with myself and to understand that all things pass.

FWPs
First World Problems (FWPs) should seem so trivial and yet I ungratefully linger upon them. Despite having a roof over my head, extra weight on my body proving I am eating well enough, pets to love, a house full of electronics and so much more, I wallow in self-pity and dark corners. Recently, I have…

Lots of TV time
Well, the past few days have seen me more on the couch than out and about. I realized this morning that I have barely – I have done so, just returning quickly 😉 – left the house since the weekend. The days go by rather quickly and I generally do not notice that I have…

It’s a Real Thing!
So my husband often takes the piss out of me for any number of reasons. If you are not up on your British terminology, this means to tease or make fun of me. The majority of the time I find it aggravating and near annoying when he does it because I lack full appreciation for…

Bad Days Happen…
We often focus on being happy all the time. It is now considered a sort of tragedy if a bad day happens or you somehow are ‘letting it happen’ to you. The truth is that bad days happen! It is a part of life. There is no good or bad about it, they just pass…
