My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • This is just a short note as we are in the midst of our final visitors for the year. While we may open our doors for a day or two with pre-arranged visits, our hosting doors will officially be closed as of Monday. Family will be the only exception! It has been fun and it has been interesting. However, non-stop turnover for six months since the end of March is more than enough,…

  • She was not my Queen and aside from a fascination at the whole idea of a monarch and the royal family, I have no vested interest in Queen Elizabeth II of England. Yet… I have followed her passing and the pomp that has surrounded the process of allowing her physical body to finally rest with those of her family. What amazes me, aside from the impressive ceremony that the English have put together…

  • All I can think about right now is how I want to be like the puppies, stretched out on the sofas comfortably snoozing away. 😵‍💫 With a late-ish bedtime (for me) last night after a couple of evening video calls and a 9pm start webinar, I had already altered the biorhythms for the night. Then, a 4:20ish abrupt awakening to the thunder, lightning, wind, and massive downpour jolted me 😳 out of whatever…

  • On an individual basis, humans can cause a feeling of great respect – like for the late Queen of England – or grave disappointment. Recently, I lamented a sense of discouragement in the actions of someone I know. Yet, I haven’t quite figured out the root of why I feel this way. Truthfully, I hardly know this person. She is really barely more than an acquaintance despite her long friendship with M. However,…

  • For as long as I can remember I have had a very unattached mentality towards the idea of mortality. Perhaps due to the forced acceptance of loss at an early age, I have always kept a logical and unemotional view of death – for death is just a loss of the presence of someone from our lives. Still, to be fair, I have not had to face the actual death of many who…

  • **Spoiler alert – If you are watching this series and haven’t yet finished it and don’t want to know what happens before viewing, then skip this post!** 🤷🏽‍♀️ Until I watched the final episode of the six-season series, This Is Us, I would have said that my favorite series of all-time is still Little House on the Prairie. The latter did have a longer run and it still stands as one of the…

  • The hubs and I were discussing our future activities this morning as he has returned refreshed and recharged from the buzz of city life. He has a renewed optimism about all things, which gives a bit of light into being able to discuss and plan our next steps. We have agreed that country life is still a bit too remote for us as we both like the energy that is found from the…

  • Technically I am not alone as my puppies and the kitties are with me, plus there is the constant sound of nature all around, but for the last 24 and next 36 hours I am in the physical presence of no other humans. M has gone away on his own retreat of sorts in Brussels where he will hopefully feel refreshed and energized from his preferred city of choice. While I have had…

  • My poor little Peanut got herself a bee sting in her mouth or nose or both this past week. Thankfully, after a couple of days she was fine. However, my paranoia over her well-being has yet to fully diminish. While I was never really enthralled at the idea of parenting nor of owning dogs, I have suddenly become a doting human-mother of two puppies whom I absolutely adore. As proof of this fact,…

  • The art of expressing through the weaving of nuances and piecing together of words has always been a skill that I appreciate. One reason that I prefer reading or writing over speaking is that time can be spent on the creation and appreciation of the work. Don’t get me wrong, though, if I hear an orator who can wax rhythm and lyric together on the spot, I am in awe. I just recently…
