My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Most of my days involve a visit to a café of some sort – and when I say of some sort, I generally mean Starbucks… 🤣 Life in Tokyo is spent mostly out of the house. There are a few reasons for this. The top being the size of ‘home’ and the distance of ‘home’ from where one works or is playing. At the moment, we fall into the former of these two…

  • We move in circles-Around the sun-Around each other-Around ourselves We walk in winding paths-Towards our fate-Towards that pot of gold-Towards the grave We rush through life-searching for success-searching for love-searching for ourselves We talk-in circles-in winding paths-in a rushing of life Yet we end up where we started, lost on our paths, talking about nothing as life rushes us by. What have we found?What have we missed?What have we achieved? ~TAugust 10, 2017

  • A new sense of normal is finding its way back to my life. I am walking outside again. I am listening to music again. I am writing again. I am smiling more. I am finding happy places. I am hopeful and excited again. How long has it been since I felt this way? What was missing? Or rather, what was holding me back? There is still a cloud that hangs over me. This…

  • Well, it has now been five days since being back to Tokyo and it is start to sink in. Having visited the office of my new/old company made it feel a little more real. 😀 Luckily, I have been walking a lot lately to fend off the lack of healthy eating for the past couple of months. Even since returning, I have been enjoying the cuisine of all that Japan has to offer.…

  • The healing process begins. Thank goodness for the capacity of the brain to forget rather easily. We have been in Tokyo for four days and already it feels almost as if life in Abu Dhabi was a blur…. Perhaps it really was – at least the past couple of years. My life definitely has changed drastically in the past three years since meeting M and joining our fates together. 😛 Each morning and…

  • Spirituality, religion, faith, belief, and the like have been swirling in my mind lately. I have kept up with my daily Bible reading as planned for the year and it has given me new insight even though I have read it quite a few times before. Some time ago, M and I were talking about life. Perhaps I even wrote about it, but I cannot find a post…. In any case, it was…

  • Although I am still going to refrain from sharing details for just a few more days, I can with some controlled joy express that everything is falling into place. More details to come…. ~T 😀

  • When you watch the Oscars, have you ever sort of felt sorry for the supporting actors/actresses? Maybe not because they are still being recognized with an award…. Still, they may have just been the main reason why the winners of Best Actor/Actress win. Lately, I have felt a bit like this through our crisis situation. Whenever M talks about it, he speaks as if he was the only one going through the situation.…

  • Two days before the darkest days of my life started I began a new round of anti-depressants because as I had written, I was considering it based on my up and down moods. Luckily, they kicked in on the day that I had to cope to distract me from the reality of our situation. It has now been just over a month and I definitely notice the change this time around. While others…
