Happy Thanksgiving 2016!
For the first time in years I am not actually celebrating Thanksgiving with my friends-family. We had initially planned to have a big bash, but with limited furniture and funds we decided to postpone a large party. It is sad, really. Then again, it has definitely been a year of reflecting, shifting and starting anew.…

Masochistic?
Yep, I actually Googled the definition of masochism this morning. Why? Because, I wonder if my subconscious is really masochistic…. 😐 I feel as if the darkness is winning these days. It is the season of being thankful, thinking about presents and the coming family-time, looking forward to the new year on the horizon with…

Some Awakenings…
So yesterday I wrote about my lack of certainty mostly regarding what I am doing with my life. As I spent most of the day on my own and processing my thoughts – fighting with the dark and light in my head – I came to some new realizations. Let me share a few. *I…

As I said yesterday, the weather has started to become amazing again. Now, we have about five months of perfect temperatures.

This morning I felt a cool breeze as we were waiting for our morning walk/run. It was such a nice feeling and a relief given the seemingly lingering heat this year – although I’m sure that is not the case. 🙂 One of the events that we do every year as a bit of a…

Sick and Tired….
Well, last week I was rather tired. While I do believe it was due to recovering from travel and yoga as I wrote about, I also think there was a lot going on. All that goings-on contributed to catching whatever bug M brought home from work. So, most of the weekend was spent feeling sick…

Historical Elections
Well, it has been announced officially – President Trump – will lead our country for the next four years. WTH???? When he announced his candidacy, I honestly thought it was a joke. It appeared that all throughout his campaign, he felt the same. No one that I know ever imagined that it would ever become…

Words
In light of the soon to be barrage of news reports on today’s election results, I thought I would write a little post about words. It is a title and topic that came to mind a while back, but I had not quite decided what to say. In considering the past 18 months of campaigning by…

Overly Competitive
As the weather is cooling down now in the UAE, more and more activities are happening outside. I have written before about my running group I joined filled mostly with moms, but they accept this non-child lady. 😉 Anyway, a while back one of them asked me why I do not sign up for a…
