My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Staying in the light when darkness threatens.

  • Digital art lab exhibition · Thursday, Sep 20, 2018 📸 / Google Photos The joy of living in a mega city such as Tokyo is that there is always something to do in whatever area of interest you may have. The downside is that there are always a million (seemingly so) other people who are interested in the same things no matter how obscure they might be. Add to that advertising on Facebook…

  • It has been a little less humid and lot cooler the past week or so. Of course, more rain has come with that, but it also means that the fall blooms are starting to brighten up the paths. When you live in a place with actual seasons (despite people’s recent complaints that Japan doesn’t have four seasons 🍁⛄️🌸☀️) conversation around weather is inevitable. After living in a country that really had no seasons…

  • The downside of going back to work and working for a business rather than an academic institution is that vacation days are limited. Add to that other life challenges, makes for a bit of a difficulty in taking summer holidays. However, I’m not at all complaining as life is a far cry (positively) from what it was just over a year ago – still trying to work out how to update on that….…

  • In the three months or so that I did not have my blog outlet I was just using Facebook and, mostly, Instagram to share what’s been going on in my life when my mood suited. At the same time, I gradually broke my habit/semi-addiction to social media, which has resulted in a decrease in how much I have been posting, in general. As I re-evaluated my purpose with social media while being a…

  • It’s been a busy period lately between work and enjoying a visit by our friends. So, I’ve barely had time to think let alone post, but we do have some time coming up where I might find a way to reflect and refresh.  Therefore, posts are coming – I promise. 😀  ~T 😀

  • Well I keep telling myself that I am going to get back to posting, but it takes more than self-talk to reform a habit – especially one that may not have necessarily caught on fully before it got broken. 😉 So, I thought I’d at least write a short post now since the mere act of typing something here is a first step. I’ve got more ideas brewing…stay tuned! ~T 😀

  • It’s been a few months…. My site was down for a few reasons, but it’s back and I’m ready to rebuild my posting habit again. 😉 Aren’t you all relieved?! More to come soon! ~T 😀

  • It’s the end of “Golden Week”, which is a bit of a misnomer because you don’t actually get the whole week off unless you take the two days in the middle of the week as vacation. However, it has been nice to have a bit of a break from the usual routine. We started the ‘week’ a bit early with my work trip to Nagoya last week. M came down the last day to meet…

  • There is a delicate balance between just enough angst to stimulate creativity and maintaining the joy of contentment. When I think that I have achieved this balance, there is a sense of wariness and unease as to when it might all go off the rocker. I blame this on PTSD rather than skepticism or pessimism. However, the real truth is that everything is temporary, even the calm. Instead, the literature and talk in…
