These Episodes
So…the memory is so often unreliable. We tend to easily remember the bad things that happen to us or the moments when others have let us down in some way or another, no matter how little or a lot. However, we have the amazing ability to forget all the good things or the status quo…

The Human Condition
This weekend is a long one to celebrate the Prophet’s Ascension much like we rejoice in Christ’s rising for Easter. How they differ I don’t know….

TWWs
This week has been a bit better for my own physical activity outside of my teaching hours. Getting myself active again and working out a regular routine is a must I have realized. Funny how easy it is to just let the body go, but what a dramatic effect it has on the psyche and…

Ms B***h
Last night I finally came to an understanding about my mood since I returned from Japan. M had been gently complaining about my ‘tude a bit, but I had been ignoring him since he was annoying me with Mr Gropey. 😛 However, as I was telling him a story – a not very interesting one…

TWWs
Oh this week….I have become lackadaisical in my workout regime lately. Granted I generally take a wee break after a yoga training weekend. However, I have lost my groove a bit with the gym or other workout. So, will have to think on this a bit. Anyway, here’s what I did manage to get up…
